The local area is home to ponies, donkeys, and cattle – all of which are known to roam the main street in Brockenhurst. There is a pretty picnic and shallow water swimming spot on the river at Balmer Lawn.
For those keen on walking and cycling (there is a cycle hire shop locally which has a large range of bikes, electric bikes, tandems, and children’s seats), Forest Acorn is ideally situated, being surrounded by ancient woods and heathland. There are cafés, tea houses, friendly pubs and restaurants serving great food as well as Italian, Thai and Chinese restaurants within easy walking distance, and a good fish and chip shop nearby too.

The county of Hampshire itself was enjoyed by Jane Austen, with her house and museum in Chawton and her resting place in Winchester Cathedral. Further afield, but well worth a visit, is Monkey World and the Tank Museum near Wool, Marwell Zoo, Peppa Pig World, Stonehenge, The Owl and Otter Park and nautical maritime museum at Southampton.
The coastline with its beaches at Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea are close by, with Bournemouth and Poole within a short drive to enjoy popular activities such as windsurfing, boating and swimming.

Beautiful apartment great location

Had a lovely stop here. Easy to find, parking straightforward. Apartment well appointed and the welcome pack was lovely (although a butter dish would be useful).Beds comfy, plenty of space for storage. The location was one of the best bits, central to Brockenhurst meant we didn’t need to use the car every day (plenty of bike rides, easy access to the train station, small supermarket walkable) which is exactly what we were looking for.Would happily book again if we’re down there

Forest Acorn is in a great location in the centre of Brockenhurst, the only problem with it’s location is it overlooks some offices, so you don’t feel like sitting outside or having the curtains open as their windows look in and the staff come out for a cigarette/ phone call. Other than that it’s very clean and easy to get to everything the village has to offer and walking into the new forest. As the description shows it is small so great for 2 people not sure about 4.It is fully equipped, WiFi very good. Welcome pack excellent. David info is excellent, the best ever. Parking is easy and lift useful for all our luggage.
