Just two hours south-west of London, the New Forest National Park is a wilderness of heathland, ancient woodland, river valley and coast. Perfect for a relaxing escape and a perfect New Forest cottage holiday.

Our eclectic collection of houses provide a very special retreat. These are quirky homes that are set up for tranquillity, family adventures and big celebrations. We have plenty of unexpected ideas to make your stay memorable – some lavish, some challenging, some for the price of a packet of marshmallows…

We have guests to stay for long and short stays. 2 nights is generally our minimum stay.

Pitts Deep Cottage is a little bit of heaven on earth! Gorgeous cottage and the location is perfect, we couldn't have asked for more. Our weekend was simply the best and there is no doubt that we will be back as often as possible! Thanks to Robyn and Rachel for their help, great customer service, very easy booking, really can't rate them highly enough.

We had an amazing 5 day break in Slate Cottage in May. The cottage was very well equipped for kids of all ages and spent loads of time outside playing croquet and swingball. The kids playroom was perfect for the smaller kids and we all loved having the resident ponies (Barney Buttons and Scooby Doo) in the paddock behind the garden. Great location as well and easy to get to all the main villages and into the Forest. A perfect UK holiday.
