Last chance to book a Christmas Cottage in the New Forest
It’s not too late to find a gorgeous New Forest Cottage for Christmas. Come on your own or gather the whole family for a festive celebration in the magical surroundings of the New Forest National Park. After wintery walks spotting the famous ponies, donkeys and wildlife, days exploring fun-filled attractions or blustery seaside jaunts along the shoreline – imagine returning to a toasty cottage with a roaring fire, where the nights are filled with laughter, chatter, games and festive films.
Are you thinking of a dinky cottage for two nestled in the woods or a luxury family home in a village setting near a wonderful gastro pub where you can bring your dog? Or maybe a sleek apartment on the coast – if you are quick, there are still some available. Here’s a handpicked selection of some Christmas New Forest cottages.
