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. Locally there is a hotel with luxury spa, horse riding and golf just a short drive away. You can even explore the New Forest on a double decker bus for a bird’s-eye view of this national park.

Discover some of the quaint villages, towns, attractions, and gardens nearby such as Lyndhurst, the sailing town of Lymington which is just a 20-minute drive and offers ferry trips to the Isle of Wight, Beaulieu Motor Museum, Exbury Gardens and the riverside village of Bucklers Hard. 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. Explore the unspoilt countryside of Dorset or the famous World Heritage Jurassic Coast, from West Bay, Bridport and on to Weymouth, with its superb scenery and coastal walking. Beach 8 miles.

    Good location for exploring the National Park. Close to shops and several restaurants.

    As holiday rentals go this must be up there with the very best. The property owner has clearly focussed on attention to detail to ensure guests enjoy a relaxing, trouble free and very comfortable stay. We greatly appreciated the substantial and high quality welcome pack of locally sourced produce which was a nice touch. There are plenty of good quality pubs and restaurants in the village (always best to book ahead even in low season) so no need to drive and two small supermarkets, a butchers and veg shop too. Great walks and cycle routes in and around the area.

    Central location, clean, modern apartment. We had a nice stay at this property, and had pretty much everything you need. Only issue was lack of grill pan rack, and tv in bedroom had no signal, but these are minor points. The welcome hamper was a very nice touch with good quality local ingredients.
