We booked these cottages for family and friends to stay in for our wedding weekend! Our family have nonstop raved about how much they loved staying here and wished it was for longer, even looking to plan a trip back! A shame for us we didn’t get to experience it all with them. Venetia was super attentive and accommodating to it being for a wedding group and the cottages were exactly as described! Excellent host! Thank you for helping make our wedding weekend xx

Is Lyndhurst good for a hen weekend?

Yes, for groups who want forest walks, country pubs and a large house with a garden rather than city bars. Southampton and Bournemouth are reachable for one night out.

What can we do in the New Forest?

Cycle the old railway trails, walk to Bolton's Bench viewpoint, visit Beaulieu Motor Museum or take a forest picnic where ponies roam freely.

Do we need a car in Lyndhurst?

Lyndhurst has buses from Southampton, but hen houses often sit in forest clearings. Cars help with Brockenhurst, Lymington coast trips and supermarket runs.

Lyndhurst or Brockenhurst?
