What we love...

A cosy bolthole hidden amidst a tranquil garden plot with historic ties.

Location near the train station, ideal for a car-free getaway where you can swap hectic modern life for glorious country living.

Perfectly situated in the heart of the New Forest, with endless countryside pursuits on your very doorstep.

Bedded in amongst a tranquil garden plot, this hideaway for two boasts a VIP Brockenhurst stay that’s all about living the good life.

The Nest Style

Located just a short stroll away from the very well-connected train station, you’ll go from platform 2 to pastures new in a jiffy. From London to Brockenhurst in 2 hours, this is a great spot for car-free adventures where miles of scenic countryside await.

Once home to the Station Master’s kitchen-garden, you’ll now find this gorgeous dog-friendly bolthole rooted amongst the greenery in your own little slice of paradise. In between adventures, pour something delicious, curl up with a good read and burrow down in the bedroom of dreams.

About the Area

After a busy day of biking, bird watching and rambling, you’ll undoubtedly work up an appetite, and the buzzy village offers just the tonic! Stock up in the High Street’s award-winning welcome store and taste for yourself why the New Forest locals flock to the butchers, greengrocers and bakers.

Plan a pub pit-stop on the way home too – there are plenty to choose from! We recommend booking a table at The Pig if you are after a special supper out.

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

Perfectly formed for two guests (solo adventurers also very welcome!), we love how inside & outside are as-one at The Nest; with light filling the open-plan kitchen & living/dining areas + bi-folds that bring the great outdoors in…

Welcoming soft furnishings, natural finishing touches and a calming Farrow & Ball backdrop all help to echo your countryside location; and your Scandinavian owner has designed this ground floor annexe to really embrace life in the slow lane - adding lots of lovely little finishing touches to make sure you feel at home. Babes in arms + dogs welcome to join the fun.

Some nights you may be drawn to supper under the stars, whilst on others you may simply sink into the sofa with a good book… But, when you are ready to retire for the day, the bedroom 'burrow' of dreams is waiting! With its clever design & gorgeous, leafy aesthetic, what a spot to slumber… we’ll take our morning coffee here before hitting the shower please!

Psssst - If you are eating in during your escape, the kitchen is fully kitted out & Brockenhurst’s ‘High Street’ showcases a fab smorgasbord of homegrown foodie shops!

Outside

Only a one minute walk from Brockenhurst’s - very well connected - train station, this is the ideal escape to try out a car-free New Forest jolly…

Tucked behind the owner’s home & garden, your self-contained sanctuary can be accessed at the bottom of the main driveway, nestled amongst the ferns!

*If you are driving down, the guest parking spot is located at the end of the drive (to the right of the owner's home)

Thanks to nifty screening, we love that you’ll benefit from the wide skies & tall oak trees from the host’s surrounding garden, whilst feeling nice & private at the same time. The table & chairs at the front provide the perfect spot to sip & snack, but there are also a couple of chairs at the back (next to the *WW1 bunker!!) if you are chasing the sun.

Perfectly placed for ramblers & cyclists, you can access the open forest in a matter of minutes from the back gate here (there’s also a bike rack here… the owner’s thought of everything!)

**Please refer to our Home Truths section
GardenGarden dining table and chairs / Charcoal Weber BBQ / Bike stand.

Home truths

Your allocated parking space is at the end of the driveway, just in front of the annexe's entrance. Please do only park here as otherwise you may block the owner in.

Bikes are not included, but can be hired from one of the fab local shops in Brockenhurst.

Please keep the garden gates closed at all time to keep the lovely New forest ponies & donkeys out and avoid damage to the property.

Please do not attempt to hunker down in the bunker... it would not be safe.

5 stars. Perfect location, really clean and comfortable for a brilliant stay with a newborn. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Sean May 2026

The Nest provides a good place to enjoy all the attractions of the New Forest . The friendly owner is nearby and happy to chat about what to do. The accommodation has lots of thoughtful touches to make the stay comfortable. Brockenhurst centre and the open forest are very close by.

Robin April 2026

Perfect weekend getaway. We loved our time at The Nest, our only regret was not booking another night! Perfect space for 2 people, the place was clean and cosy! The location is so central, only a 5 minute walk away from the high street in one direction and the station in the other direction, parking was super easy too! The bed was a highlight, the mattress was so comfortable, and it was just the perfect cosy space at night to look up at stars through the skylight, and then close the blind for a good nights sleep! We can’t wait to come back to the Nest!

Asha April 2026

Lovely stay. We had a lovely stay at the Nest, perfect for our needs with a great enclosed garden for our dog. In the heart of Brockenhurst with pubs, shops and restaurants and just a couple of minutes walk, not to mention the wonderful New Forest which was fabulous for long dog walk. Thoroughly enjoyed our break.

Nicci April 2026

We absolutely loved staying at The Nest. It was cosy, private and peaceful and a 2 minute walk to Brockenhurst high street where there are lovely coffee shops, butchers, bakers etc. There are also some lovely pubs just around the corner. The location in the forest is great. We took our dog and had some lovely walks in the forest and the garden was completely secure and dog friendly. The accommodation was beautiful. Clean, spacious and had everything you could need. The wine and chocolate was also a lovely surprise!

Molly April 2026

The Nest is a great place to stay. very nicely decorated and it's very spacious for two people. The place is really close to the station, the town centre, and the forest. 5 stars.

Jane April 2026

The Nest certainly has the wow factor when you first walk in. Lots of light and comfort. Extra touches of wine, chocolate and milk were very welcome. Great location to explore the New Forest and the quaint surrounding villages. Everything was made easy by the host including check in and updates. When we return to the new forest, we will definitely come back to the Nest.

Debbie March 2026

Lovely cottage right next to the station! Cute village with local restaurants! We had a lovely time and cant wait to be back!

Julia March 2026

Great location in Brockenhurst. We had a lovely couple of nights staying at The Nest, it was really easy to find and the parking was really handy. The location is great, meaning we were able to walk everywhere (shops, restaurants, spa etc). The bed was really comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. It was a little chilly during the stay but the robe that was provided was a nice touch. It was lacking a little in extra touches in the kitchen but is fine for a couple of days away. If you want to listen to music, I'd recommend taking a speaker or something with you as we could only find a few random channels on the TV that could play music. Communication with NFE before was fantastic and we were able to check in early, which was really appreciated.

Alice March 2026

We had a great stay, many thanks!

Suzi February 2026

Beautiful discreet property in perfect location. Everything we and our little dog needed for a break in the New Forest.

Sue Teggert December 2025

Cosy, convenient and comfortable base, 5 stars. The Nest is a well-equipped, comfortable and stylish base for exploring the southern New Forest. Just steps from the train station and village centre (with plenty of shops and places to eat), it's really convenient, and the Christmas tree and other decorations gave it a wonderfully festive feel. It's the ideal spot for a few days'. break.

Paul December 2025

We decided last minute to spend a couple of days in the New Forest with our dog. Would happily stay at the Nest again. House is comfortable and perfect for two. Good spacious sofa in the lounge so watching tv is comfortable. Location is terrific as you can walk to the village and pubs and restaurants. Nice welcome treats too!

Kiran November 2025

5 stars! Loved our stay, thank you!

Ash November 2025

A clean, cosy place, well-decorated and conveniently located near Brockenhurst station. Communications were friendly and clear, and the place was warm even for a cold winter's stay!

Joanna Cheng November 2025

We had an amazing time, everything was lovely, and the mini website/app was so helpful for planning.

Motse Lehata October 2025

We had a lovely stay! A great space for our first trip away with our baby. Great recommendations and booklet to get to know the area prior to check in and we were made to feel very at home once we arrived.

Ellen September 2025

Outstanding location, the decor of The Nest was truly amazing and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation for its tranquility and closeness to the many walks in the Forest and also the close proximity of the railway station - the village itself has two very nice bakeries with two supermarkets and The Foresters pub has excellent meals and is very popular with visitors and locals

Alan September 2025

The Nest was clean, bright, comfortable and cosy. It is tucked away with a private, secluded garden, which felt safe for our dog, and it was a lovely place to relax after a busy day of walking and site seeing. The location was perfect for trips into the forest, nearby towns and the coast, either by car, train or bicycle. We also enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to the local tea rooms, cafes, restaurants and pubs, most of which were dog friendly. We would definitely visit again.

Tracy July 2025

This property is in an ideal location within walking distance to the forest (has a useful back gate to the forest edge for morning dog walks), local pubs and restaurants and the centre of Brockenhurst. Lovely welcome goodies. Accommodation perfect size for 2. Would have preferred to have another single arm chair as the snuggle chair not very comfortable for us more mature guests. Bathroom has lovely soap/shower gel from local supplier. Small but useful garden and patio. The kitchen was ample size with tea, coffee, sugar, salt/pepper and cooking oil. There is also a dishwasher and a large fridge freezer. There was no coffee machine as per the property description. The driveway is a little narrow - found it better to reverse in than out! We will certainly be back as we just love this area of the forest.

Catherine July

An excellent base from which to explore the New Forest. Communication from New Forest Escapes was exemplary.

Paul July 2025

The nest is a lovely little place, perfect for 2 people. Although it's in someones back garden it's isolated enough that you completely forget about that! The location near to the station is incredibly convenient.

Fiona June 2025

Nice touches on arrival (wine, milk & chocolates). The condition and appearance of the property was good. We had an enjoyable time vising local amenities such as Buckler's Hard and Milford on Sea. There were good local eateries catering for a variety of tastes. There was a large, safe dog friendly garden. There was a long gravel path to the Nest and this could be an issue with a wheelchair or a pram.

William June 2025

5 stars! Great place to stay for a couple - near some lovely walks, the Pig and the property has a very well enclosed garden if you are bringing a 4 legged friend.

Hannah May 2025

The Nest was clean and comfortable, nice private garden and very easy access to the train station and the New Forest. We would stay again. Lymington was 10 minutes on the train, nice walks looking across to the Isle of Wight.

Louise May 2025

Thank you for the wonderful accommodation, bottle of wine and chocolate, we loved our stay. The favourite moments of our stay were relaxing in the sun in the garden and exploring the beautiful New Forest.

Nicola April 2025

We had such a wonderful week in Brockenhurst. The place is so homely, comfortable and well-designed with thoughtful touches, and the location was exceptional for exploring the New Forest from your doorstep. Thank you!

A lovely little stay in beautiful surroundings. The wine, chocolate and homemade muesli was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend.

Krzysztof February 2025

The Nest was better than advertised. We felt at home right away and would definitely recommend The Nest to anybody. It's central location and proximity to the train station meant it was the perfect jumping off point for any forest walks we had planned. Not to mention our dog seemed to also enjoy himself. We look forward to coming back one day!

Ben January 2025

We loved our stay at The Nest. It was super clean, quiet, private and comfortable and there were lots of welcoming touches which we really appreciated for a short stay. We travelled by train and the location could not have been more convenient. 100% recommend and we'd love to go back one day!

This was a surprise visit as it was my birthday. Such a wonderful surprise 'The Nest' didn't fail to please with all the added extras 'Best sleep ever'.

We enjoyed the personal touches my birthday cake and bunting to biscuits and milk int he fridge. Thank you Kristina, we will be back.

Clare & Nick October 2023

Such a cozy nest. Really enjoyed our short stay in a place that immediately felt familiar, really lovely. Spent a beautiful day walking the tall trees trail and back, relaxing with nature and breathing in the slower pace of things. We enjoyed hiking around Brockenhurst and Italian food at Albero. We recommend the Alltrails App.

Francesca & Enrico October 2023

We loved our stay at The Nest, a very relaxing New Forest hidaway. Our favourite moment was exploring the New Forest and Beaulieu Motor museum and food at The Snakecatcher.

Abby & Andrew October 2023

Cottage was well equipped,clean and welcoming with several extras and treats. Garden areas to sit out in,welcome as very hot during stay. Ten minutes walk to pubs and restaurants, five to shops. Brockenhurst in centre of Forest so easy travelling.

Rosemary September 2023

A beautiful hideaway in Brockenhurst, The Nest has everything we needed and a lovely forest feel with a sympathetic colour scheme. Walking along the disused railaway line from Burbush carpark, near Burley to The Old Station Tea rooms at Holmsley. Approx 2 miles each way. We walked the coast path from Lymington with great river views over the Solent - parked and Bath Road car park. One favourite moment was seeing all the wild ponies etc. We visited Beaulieu Motor museum and Bucklers Hard and food at The Snakecatcher in Brockenhurst.

Jill & Robert September 2023

Thank you for a lovely stay. We had a really great time and loved The Nest. We stayed here for a wedding so that was our favourite moment. It was great to have a cosy place to come back to after a long day. We didn't have time to explore the New Forest during our stay, but I think we'd both love to come back! The wild horses were a big surprise for us!

Tom & Olivia September 2023

High end finish, comfortable bed and great location for shops, eating places and the station. Walks in the New Forest from the door. Few more instructions would have been helpful. Overall a great stay and look forward to returning.

Helen October 2023

5 stars! So comfortable, so peaceful, we slept really well. Wish weather was better so we could sit in the garden. Had problems with the TV, more instructions would have been good. Brilliant location, 10 mins from the shops, great choice of eating places and the station. We were visiting family so not so much leisure time. We enjoyed a meal in The Snakecatcher and Commoners for coffee (welcomes dogs and children). Look forward to returning.

Helen, Dave & Cola the Boxer October 2023

What a beautiful little hideaway you have created! It is clean, fresh and airy! Just what we needed. We loved seeing lots of ponies on some of the many walking trails. The ease in which we could communicate with Kristina- who was incredibly accommodating. I think we need to come back to get a better idea, as we weren't here for long... see you soon!

Laura & Stephen October 2023

This was a surprise visit as it was my birthday. Such a wonderful surprise 'The Nest' didn't fail to please with all the added extras. 'Best sleep ever'. Thank you so much , lovely cozy retreat. We will be back. Brockenhurst is in the centre of everywhere. Beaulieu is stunning. A light bite on the beach at The Noisy Lobster is one of the best memories. Highcliffe Castle is not too far away. We actually got Chinese on our last night from the village which was really nice.

Claire & Nick October 2023

Such a cozy Nest! Really enjoyed our short stay in a place that immediately felt familiar. Really lovely. We spent a beautiful day hiking to the Tall Trees Trail and back, relaxing with nature and breathing in the slower pace of things. Francesca adored the swinging armchair! We recommend hiking around from Brockenhurst, Albero is a good Italian restaurant. Recommend the All trails app.

Francesca & Enrico October 2023

We loved our stay at The Nest. A very relaxing, New Forest hideaway. We loved exploring The New Forest and Beaulieu Motor Museum too. We recommend The Snakecatcher for food.

Abbey & Andrew October 2023

A beautiful hideaway in Brockenhurst. The Nest has everything we need and a lovely 'forest feel' with a sympathetic colour scheme. We enjoyed walking along the disused railway line from Burbush car park near Burley to The Old Station Tea Rooms in Holmsley. Approx 2 miles each way. Also walking the coastal path from Lymington. Great river and Solent views, we parked at the carpark on Bath road. We also loved driving around and seeing the ponies. We also recommend Beaulieu Motor Museum and Bucklers Hard. And The Snakecatcher in Brockenhurst for good food.

Jill & Robert September 2023

Thank you for a lovely stay! We had a great time and loved 'The Nest'. We stayed here for a wedding which was our favourite moment! It was nice to have a place to come back to after a long day! We didn't have time to explore The New Forest during our stay, but I think we'd both love to come back! The wild horses were a big surprise for us!

Tom & Olivia September 2023

Wine, chocolate and dog biscuits a lovely touch on arrival. Such a lovely place with an enclosed garden for our dog, Sox. A microwave and TV channels would have been nice. The rotating chair was my favourite seat! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful! We loved the close proximity to the shops, pubs, train station and so many walks, it is hard to pick a favourite. Kristina was very helpful and informative on places to go on walks. We recommend the walk to New Park Manor as a drink stop. Train to Bournemouth and walk across the beach front to Boscombe and then the train back from Pokesdown or Christchurch. The long walk to Rhinefield through the forest was also nice.

Kevin, Helen & Sox September 2023

A gem of a place to stay. Very well equipped cottage with lots of extras. So peaceful and relaxing. Hope to return. Thank you for the wine and chocolate. We enjoyed exploring the forest and finding sheltered spots to relax away from the heat. Also Hengistbury Head but very expensive to park. We recommend The Huntsman for Dinner and Rhinefield Ornamental Drive for the trees and walks.

Rosemary and David September 2023

Richard and I had a lovely stay at The Nest - its gorgeous and just the right size for 2 people. We were exploring the New Forest and had an event to go to in Bournemouth one night so its really well situated for walking and exploring as well as the train station. Really loved it - thank you.

Vanessa September 2023

This was our 2nd visit to your Nest and it was just as fantastic as the 1st time, thank you. Our favourite moments were cycling to Lyndhurst through the forest and via the forde on our return. The Snakecatcher and Rainbow fish bar and exploring more of the local area. We recommend the Greenwood Cafe in Lyndhurst- they have an impressive range of scones and cream teas! Some very new flavours!

Oli & Rachel August 2023

The place you have is wonderful, especially the little things that show the love and care you have for it and your guests. The favourite moments of our stay were getting soaked on the Tall Trees 10 mile walk and relaxing on the sofa, warm and cozy. The New Forest is a jewel for everyone.

John, Simon & Slim (dog!) August 2023

Thank you for creating such a peaceful and well-equipped home, we felt so relaxed and comfortable. We loved Exbury gardens, Buckler's Hard, Milford On Sea beach at sunset, Puttles bridge, local walks and wildlife. So much more that we hope to do when we return to this gorgeous part of England! We recommend the boat trip at Buckler's Hard which was lovely! Our dog enjoyed paddling in the river at Puttles Bridge and the sunset at Milford On Sea was sttunning. Also walks to The Bakehouse in the morning.

Sarah, Johnny and Maple August 23

Thank you for creating such a lovely home and a getaway for our family! We loved sunny days playing in the garden and bike rides. We also enjoyed seeing all the wild horses, cows and donkeys! We recommend The Bakehouse, and walks around Rhinefield Ornamental Drive.

Duco, Jessical and baby Louise August 2023

The Nest is a lovely house for exploring the forest and beyond. Thank you for the many extras. Our favourite moments were mainly the ponies and deer. Also the river boat trip at Bucker's Hard and Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. We also recommend Beaulieu motor museum, the Spinnaker tower in Portsmouth and Lymington.

Carol & Jeff August 2023

A wonderful, tranquil home. Lovely little extras like wine, milk, olive oil etc makes all the difference and the perfect comfort touch of a couple of dressing gowns really made our stay perfect. We loved coming home to our 'Nest' after long hours worked at The New Forest Show. Thank you for providing such a level of comfort. We recommend Dynasty Indian Restaurant, Brittania Thai and Albero Italian.

Michael & Charlotte July 2023

We felt right at home in this beautiful, well thought out place and appreciated all the little things- Andrew also became obsessed with the cosy armchair! The favourite moments of our stay were the cycle ride to Beaulieu (although harder than we expected!). We loved that even on a rainy afternoon, we could cuddle up and watch the rain spatter on the skylight- feeling very cosy in this nest. We recommend The Buttery tea rooms- exactly how a small, local tearoom should be- unpretentious and homely! Cyclexperience for bike hire to Beaulieu and the Tall Trees trail.

Niki & Andrew July 2023

Thank you for a lovely stay. A beautiful, little cottage and we hope to return in the future. We loved the Tall Trees trail and hiring boats in Christchurch. We recommend The Lighthouse restaurant in Milford and Albero Italian in Brockenhurst.

Alan & Jennie July 2023

Lovely place to stay, a home from home. There are nice touches to welcome you and the information and books are fascinating. Our favourite moments are Bolderwood Forest, Marsh walks, Lymington and also local eating establishments.

Colin & Sue July 2023

A wonderful cottage- so much thought and attention to detail. Super relaxing! The favourite moments of our stay: All of it! So much walking, eating and relaxing. It's the perfect place to do all of this and more. There are so many walks around the village. Also Hurst Point, The Huntsman, The Pie, The Buttery for breakfast, all just made a perfect weekend!

Paul and Jo July 2023

Thank you so much for a lovely and very hospitable stay. We feel we have been met with open arms- both personally and professionally. We loved meetings with the dogs, donkeys and horses and also people. We recommend a slow walk up the hill inside the cemetery and then a quiet moment in the calm and beautiful St Nicholas Church.

Marianne and Sigbjorn July 2023

A lovely stay. Felt relaxed as soon as we walked in. Reggie loved the garden and soon became very territorial! We will return. Our favourite moments were relaxing in the garden after a day walking, seeing the ponies roaming at will. We recommend walking to Bolderford Bridge and strolling along the river. Also meals in The Foresters Arms.

Anne, Phil & Reggie June 2023

Thank you- amazing place with every detail thought of, we loved the birds in the garden too! Our favourite moments: Walking in! The Pig, The Thai restaurant, the ponies, the deer and the walks.

Nikki & Dean June 2023

Thank you we had a wonderful time in this cozy home- perfect for exploring The New Forest and the UK countryside. Do the coastal path in Lymington and the Tall Tree trail in Blackforest on bikes and walk around town with the friendly locals! We also recommend the Italian in town!

Krystal & Euan June 2023

We had a fantastic time in this beautiful and very well designed home! Absolutely perfect for a weekend without the kids! Our favourites were 2 long bike rides through the forest and along the coastal path. Plus dinner at The Pig and the lovely walk back. For great bike routes download the free Cyclexperience app- it's brilliant and very easy to follow.

Lucy & Dan June 2023

Thank you for the lovely stay. We enjoyed the lovely house and enclosed garden, where Miko had some freedom to run around. It is also a wonderful location which made our stay better and easier to get to places. The favourite moments of our stay were watching Miko splash in the rivers (he avoids water in London) and enjoying the garden reading a book, watching Miko 200m around or snooze in the grass. We recommend the walk to Blackwater from Brockenhurst and the Tall Trees trail. Also Roly's pantry fudge shop in Lymington- absolutely delicious fudge!

Tom, Tanya and Miko June 2023

Very comfortable stay in the delightful Nest thank you. Great being able to walk a short distance to several eating places and to the station for a trip to Lymington. We recommend Enzee for Italian home-cooked food and live saxophone on every Thursday and only a 3 minute walk away.

Jane & Jeffrey June 2023

Thank you for a lovely time, we really enjoyed The Nest. Lovely walks from The New Forest. We recommend Burley for the witches!

Luke, Gemma & Jessie June 2023

The Nest is the best! Beautiful hideaway that's situated in such a beautiful village - thank you so much! Favourite moments: So many moments watching the full moon shining so bright in the garden was just wonderful. Just walk to the end and explore...

Nicoleta & David June 2023

5 stars! Property was a real gem with welcoming bottle of wine and chocolate. Every essential were kindly taken care of. The only thing we could of done with was a little more sunshine!

Sue June 2023

We have already began planning our return trip! Thank you for curating such a comfortable and homely nest. It was just right! We loved cycling 'route 2' from Brockenhurst to Burley. It certainly gave us the fresh air we needed and we met lots of friendly and helpful locals. Lots of foals and Burley is the place to explore. We recommend Enzees at the station for great pasta, Rainbow fish and chips, Nhoon in Burley for coffee and Blackstar records in Lyndhurst for vinyl.

Ollie & Rachel May 2023

What a great find, The Nest is perfect in every way and all the extra little touches were much appreciated. Many Thanks. The favourite moments of our stay were seeing the wonderful ponies and donkeys roaming free in the village and enjoying lunch/dinner on the roadside- amazing! Buckler's Hard, walks in the forest, walk along the beach at Milfordand over to Hurst castle from Keyhaven. We recommend The Huntsman in Brockenhurst, we had dinner there and it was really good. The beach walks at Milford and the wonderful sunshine, ordered especially! Great, short break, wish we were here longer.

Chris, Chris B & Ted May 2023

Thank you so much for our perfect stay! We have thoroughly enjoyed such a peaceful, comfortable 'nest' in The New Forest. You have thought of everything! There are lots to mention but in particular the walk from Keyhaven to Hurst Castle and the boat back was great, the walk from Beaulieu to Buckler's Hard and back and lots of other walks in the forest. Also loved a rest in your garden area at 'The Nest'.

Andie, Mark & Bodie May 2023

Lovely, warm welcome. The Ornamental Drive and Rhinefield were wonderful by bike. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed pretty scenery and lovely pubs. The whole area is worth a visit, we wish we had booked for longer but will be back. Thank you!!

Bridget & Julie May 2023

Great for a short break. Clean, tidy, well designed- very nice. Thank you, the milk, wine and chocolate was very much appreciated. We loved the walk from Bucklers Hard to Beaulieu, lovely and serene. Also, Exbury Gardens was fab on a very sunny and warm day with shaded areas for the dog. If you have kids or are big kids at heart they have a steam train to enjoy too. We also recommend The Bakehouse (we love a cake!). Thank you, we would love to return.

Shaun, Nikki & Keiko May 2023

A really well equipped bolthole for a 3 day break. Our favourite moments were walking through the gorse which is at it's peak right now. Hurst Castle is a very interesting visit (although some of it is closed off due to conservation work) and The Gun Inn is goof for lunch after you visit.

Tim & Stephanie May 2023

Perfect for our weekend break- a peaceful and lovely garden to spend a sunny Saturday! We have stayed in The New Forest often and Beaulieu is a great day out and a beautiful place. The bottle of wine was very much appreciated, thank you! We recommend The Turfcutters Arms that does a very good breakfast too.

Maxine & Matt May 2023

You have created a fabulous hideaway in the centre of Brockenhurst, with everything you need for a perfect stay. Thank you we will definitely be back. The favourite moments of our stay are were the fantastic walks on the doorstep (no car needed), late bbqs in the sun and delicious cocktails and lunch at The Pig! We would recommend The Tall Trees trail with a stop off at Rhinefield Hotel for a drink and also a back garden BBQ!

Elise & Sam May 2023

Thanks very much it was a lovely stay and a pleasure. A lovely place to stay, 'highly recommended.' It's a very nice area and we recommend a trip to Lymington for the Saturday market, something for everyone. The Angel & The Blue Pig was a nice pub. We had a stroll around the village and the Foresters Arms was superb, great environment, very friendly and great food, good bus links to and from Lymington/Southampton. Overall we loved our stay and will be back for sure. Thank you.

Leon & Jenny April 2023

Thank you for such a lovely and warming stay! Perfect location and despite the weather, lovely long walks. The walk around the Lymington Nature Reserve is perfect for a long walk around the coast and a stop off at the dog friendly, Ship Inn for a well deserved drink. We recommend dinner at The Pig and The Huntsman also the Pig brewery. Walks around Lymington Nature reserve and also the Tall Trees trail.

Ellie & Nick April 2023

The Nest is perfect, thank you Kristina it was lovely to meet you today. The property was very quiet, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We will definitley be back. We explored the New Forest by bike, there is a very good bike hire shop by the train station in Brockenhurst. We did 35km and it was a great way to explore the beautiful areas. Stopped off at Noohn in Burley for a tasty sandwich. We recommend The Bakehouse in Brockenhurst for tasty treats, Albero Italian restaurant for dinner, Blackwater Arboretum to see giant sequoia trees and Cycle Experience bike hire.

Natalie and Matt April 2023

Kristina thank you! You have created a beautiful nest. Warm, high spec, comfortable with all the little extra thoughtful touches. 22km hike to Lyndhurst and back yesterday and 8km look with our daughter on Sunday. We recommend The Pig for dinner, The Huntsman pub - we went there twice, The Buttery for coffee - you can walk anywhere :)

Theresa and Mark April 2023

I love the connection to nature at The Nest, and the way you can still enjoy the wide skies & fresher when back home. The bedroom here was one of my favourite bits too, and I can't think of a cosier place to hunker down in after a day of being out & about exploring Brockenhurst!

Emily - New Forest Escapes March 2023

I love how you can get off the beaten track an out into he open forest in just a minute or two from The Nest's back gate! The walks around here so scenic, and never disappoint! Brockenhurst is also the best place to spot New Forest ponies & donkeys, they are always meandering around- even in the High Street!
