Family Holiday Cottages in Woodgreen

Woodgreen is a peaceful New Forest village overlooking the Avon Valley, with thatched cottages, a village green and direct access to commons and woodland. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Woodgreen means you can step out to see ponies and cattle grazing, follow footpaths through the forest and along the river, and still have a local shop and pub on hand. It feels unhurried and very “New Forest”, ideal for families who like walks and wildlife.

Days with children can be as simple as a loop from the cottage across the common to look for animals, a picnic on the green and perhaps a drive to a nearby beauty spot or small attraction. The lack of big roads and amusements encourages slower, outdoorsy routines. A self-catering stay in Woodgreen gives you room for wellies, bikes and binoculars, plus quiet evenings after spending most of the day outside.
