Family Holiday Cottages in Damerham

Damerham is a quiet village on the edge of the New Forest district, surrounded by fields, lanes and the clear waters of the River Allen. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Damerham gives you a rural base within easy reach of Fordingbridge, the Avon Valley and the western side of the New Forest, so you can mix country walks with trips into the forest and days out a little further afield. It suits families who like a slower pace, with space around the cottage for outdoor play and plenty of small lanes to explore on foot or by bike.

For families, the days can be as low-key or active as you need. Feed ducks on the river, cycle short loops from the door, then head into the forest or to a nearby playground when energy picks up. You can plan longer excursions knowing it is straightforward to retreat to your cottage for naps, quieter play or an early bedtime after a big outing. Having your own self-catering place here lets you keep favourite foods handy, dry off muddy clothes and build an easy rhythm that fits everyone, rather than working around fixed mealtimes.
