Choose from 20 places to stay in Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst sits in the middle of the New Forest and is a good choice for families who like having village facilities and open forest right on the doorstep. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Brockenhurst means you can see ponies and donkeys in the streets, walk or cycle straight out onto the heath and woodland, and still be close to cafés, bike hire and the train station. The stream at Watersplash Road, with its little ford, is a simple favourite for children on warmer days.
Days tend to fall into an easy pattern of forest walks or bike rides, maybe a picnic among the trees or a visit to places like Bolderwood, then back through the village for an ice cream or an early supper. Being on the rail line also opens up car-free trips to Lymington for a harbour and sea-water baths fix. It is useful having a cottage here with space for bikes and wellies and a living room everyone can flop in, so you can reset between outings without feeling cramped.
