Located just a few miles south of Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst is a charming village ideal for leisurely strolls, picnics, and sightseeing. There are a variety of shops, tearooms, pubs, and restaurants in the village that are worth visiting. There are also waggon and horse-drawn forest tours, as well as a variety of forest walks for visitors of all ages and abilities. On the first Monday in August, the town holds a village festival. Brockenhurst is only a few miles from the coast and a short walk from the forest's heart. Nearby Cadnam provides a great opportunity for families to enjoy fresh air and open spaces, while a short drive from Lyndhurst village centre reveals extensive grasslands kept short by commoners' stock—the ponies, donkeys and cattle that can be seen throughout the area.

Two wcâs on first floor was a minor inconvenience - but only in that elderly parents had to use the smallest bedroom which had very little storage space and led to a few bruised shins. Also, the curtain rail in there had a tendency to come away from the wall - which could lead to future problems. We greatly appreciated the use of the pull-down bed in the study as one family member had to work via laptop in the mornings and this was a very convenient arrangement! Overall, everyone thought it was a very good apartment and very thoughtfully arranged and furnished. (5-year old grandchild on a day-visit rated it as lovely!) The milk, butter, bread, crackers and wine which awaited us were a very welcome surprise and the book of âdomestic informationâ was one of the best weâve seen. Thank you to the hosts!
