With a four-day holiday on the horizon and families with two weeks of Easter school holidays to fill, there’s no place like the New Forest for an early spring break. Come and enjoy all this amazing National Park and unspoilt coastline has to offer, and stay in one of our New Forest Cottages this Easter.
There are lots of family-friendly attractions to visit, including Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Palace House and Gardens, Paultons Park – home of Pepper Pig World, Snowtrax Artificial Ski Slope, and the New Forest Wildlife Park.
Head to Highcliffe Castle, Longdown Activity Farm, Exbury Gardens and Mottisfont for chocolate-fueled Easter egg hunts, crafts and activities. Or lay your own egg hunt in the magical woods and heathlands of the forest.
Take a look below at some of our New Forest Cottages available to rent this Easter. There are over 160 pretty cottages, big family homes, dog-friendly pads, apartments, cabins and barns to choose from.
Mulberry House | Sleeps 6 | Lymington
With interiors of laid-back luxe and open-plan living, this cottage is just the ticket for friends and family. There’s a living flame log fire in case it gets chilly, but we think you’ll much prefer to slide floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the huge terrace and manicured gardens and sit outside.

Dolphin Cottage | Sleeps 5 | Barton on Sea
This dog-friendly cottage has a fresh, bright feel with a fully enclosed garden. It is only a short wander to the cliff top and path leading to the long stretch of beach and three great places to eat – the Cliff House, Pebble Beach Restaurant and the Beachcomber. Find out more about Dolphin Cottage
Gorsehill Cottage | Sleeps 4 | Milford on Sea
Book this super stylish and comfortable dog-friendly cottage, which backs onto Milford on Sea’s 51-acre LNR Nature Reserve. The village has seriously good foodie pubs and restaurants.

Horseshoe Cottage | Sleeps 2 | Burley
This adults-only cottage is at the end of a remote mile-long drive, overlooking the open forest, woods and streams. Inside is cosy and calming, with a mezzanine double bedroom. You can go out and about, but if you’re looking to rest and rejuvenate, sit quietly in the garden to see woodland wildlife, ponies and deer in abundance. Find out more about Horseshoe Cottage
Little Applewood Farm | Sleeps 6 | Bramshaw
