Our 40+ homes are spread all across the New Forest, in picture postcard villages like Beaulieu, Brockenhurst and Burley…where the pace is slow and the ponies roam free… To the wilder north of the Forest, near Fordingbridge, down to the glorious coastal walks at Milford and Keyhaven, on to bustling Lymington with all its Georgian charm.

Ashdale Cottage is a gem of a find for friends & families seeking off-grid time together. Diving into the vast pool, slinking into the bubbly hot tub, getting competitive in the games room, and heading into the heath- it’s all there for the taking! Dog friendly.

Location, location, location... The nearby village of Bransgore a sleepy spot with a few pubs and a small handful of local shops. Exploring the Hampshire / Dorset coast from here is easy (Mudeford, with it's water sports and crabbing is 15 minutes away and Southbourne beach just 20 minutes) & there are plenty of family-friendly activities nearby, such as Moors Valley Country Park and the Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park. At Christchurch Quay there is a kids outdoor water park. It’s a ‘splash pad’ so there is no swimming areas, but there are paddling pools, fountains, streams, places to dam up, float toys and enjoy water play. Hengistbury Head is another great spot. Park on the ‘mainland’ side of Mudeford and walk the 20-30 mins up and over to Mudeford Spit. From there you can drop down to the beaches through the foresty sides of the ‘Head’. The views from here are beautiful. For those with prams or wheelchairs, take the track along the flat route and on your return, jump aboard the ‘Noddy’ (land) train that runs between the car park and the cafe.
