Family-friendly vacation rentals in New Forest District

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

Amy’s cottage was very cosy! Great location with the Buddle inn nearby for a delicious dinner. The cottage was more than big enough for our family of five and we had a hugely restful and enjoyable stay. We’ll be back!

We booked The Stables for a couple of nights, including for it to be used as the bridal getting ready space on the morning of our recent wedding, as it is only 10 mins from Priston Mill. It was absolutely perfect and Nancy went above and beyond to help make it work for us including making space on the drive of the main house to allow wedding suppliers to park. The space was light and bright and surrounded by a gorgeous garden and it felt really private and peaceful. It was very well equipped with everything you’d need and actually seemed a larger space in person than in the pictures! Special thanks go to Nancy for making it extra special for our wedding and including some lovely bubbly in the fridge which was a really thoughtful touch.

Our stay was fabulous! We had the best time and the lodge was stunning. Everything we asked for. Mark and Maria were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. We would be definitely staying here again.

Me and my partner had a wonderful mid-week retreat at Tracy’s Annex! Welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco, the place was just lovely. We had access to the hot tub and the heated pool which was just amazing! It felt totally private, we were never disturbed but always just a message away if we needed anything- Tracy has some fab recommendations and knows the area so well. The walks around are beautiful and the wildlife we saw was brilliant! There’s so much I could say but my real highlight was Tracy’s 2 golden labs, they’ll come and say hello when out in the garden and they are such love bugs! Totally made my day as a dog lover! Would stay again and would recommend to others. X

Definitely recommend Sam’s beautiful house. Immaculately kept garden with hot tub and huge trampoline which kept the children busy. All rooms with clean and had everything that we needed. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms were clean and showers etc all in good order. Thank you!

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

What a lovely place and lovely hosts. The bed was so comfortable we slept more than usual, unless it was the lovely relaxing hot tub that tired us. The welcome food and treats and wine was very generous and very welcome. It was a very quiet and relaxing area. We stayed for 6 nights and would highly recommended

Great location close to the centre of town but peaceful and easy parking. Super comfortable beds and an excellent shower.

The most gorgeous cottage in stunning surroundings! We have had a wonderful 4 nights here exploring the island. The local pub was great and the village store at Brighstone so handy! The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Thank you!

A lovely short stay in this forest hideaway with a simply outstanding view. Didn’t realise in advance that it was on two levels with all the facilities of home in terms of kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs - en suite bedroom with balcony - is warm and sunny. Downstairs - living + dining room and kitchen - stays cool. If you like your birds, you will particularly enjoy watching the plethora of species that come from the forest to the feeder - courtesy of the hosts who provide a generous tin of bird seed.

We had a lovely short break and it was just what we wanted. The accommodation is well equipped with a lovely view of a garden and horses in a field. There are lots of really nice touches like breakfast ingredients and homemade jams available to use. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area

Exactly what we were looking for, great accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Thoroughly recommend .

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

Spent the most idyllic weekend at Coopers Farm. Stunning views with a beautifully manicured garden. Took my dog and she just loved running around the meadow garden. Totally safe and enclosed. Lovely annex which was spotlessly clean , peaceful and beautifully furnished with everything we needed . Rosie cooked the most beautiful evening meal and Nick was the perfect host and served it on our balcony. Peaceful idyllic and will definitely be booking again. Surroundings are the perfect place if you love walking or have a dog. Thank you Rosie and Nick for your hospitality you have the most beautiful home and grounds which are just perfect

The cottage is charming and nicely kept. The patio and garden were lovely to have and we used them a lot as we had such great weather. The only thing to be aware of is that the cottage is just off of a busy road which meant traffic noises early in the morning. That said, we really did love it and there were some great walks to do right from the doorstep. Also some lovely pubs nearby.

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

Our family loved staying at the condo. Jacqui & Tony were extremely accommodating and answered all our questions in a speedy manner. The pool is a very nice touch to the air bnb. We used it once as the weather was very nice whilst we were there but definitely would’ve used more if the weather hadn’t been as good. Thanks Jacqui & Tony

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

If you are looking for a home from home or an upgrade from home, this is the place to stay. Arrived from Melbourne and immediately settled into the joy of living in the countryside. Although too cold to enjoy the pool, we did use the tennis court and shot some hoops. We walked to Old Thorns Golf and Country Club and can recommend Katie's Coffee bar. It's an easy walk amongst stunning scenery. We walked back via the Foley Estate from the Deers Hut pub. Liphook is so lucky to have not one but two stunningly beautiful golf courses. If their is a heaven on earth, we must have stayed in its guest house!

Catharine was an amazing host and Driftwood is absolutely beautiful in a perfect setting for our group get together. The hosts were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help, even accommodating an earlier check in for us. Could not recommend this stunning home enough!

Such a find - we absolutely loved this airbnb! Firstly the design was amazing, looks like beach huts and yet the inside was so spacious and filled with light that it was like a hidden gem. Amazing amenities - pool, tennis court and beautiful walks on the doorstep. The area was so lovely and quiet and I could immediately feel myself relaxing the moment we arrived. The property has everything that you could possibly need, a little home away from home and I loved all the little design touches - you could really tell that so much care had been taken to make the space welcoming. Everything was super clean and Helen was a lovely host, always responsive and friendly! I absolutely loved the digital guidebook which was so useful for our stay, especially finding the best pubs and restaurants in the area. We hope to be back soon!

Thank you for the loan of your beautiful lodge,it was beautiful,clean,tidy and perfect for my 90 year old mum to enjoy her little holiday away with me,everything was as described and instructions were clear on getting to the park, checking in and checking out. Nicola and Georgie are fantastic hosts,very responsive and quick at replying if i needed anything,thank you again can not recommend this beautiful lodge and amazing views enough.
