Set in the pretty village of Brockenhurst, the 17th Century Cottage is the perfect place to explore the New Forest. This charming B&Bl offers you a wide choice of rooms, all ensuite and tastefully decorated. On entering please remember to lower your head as some of our rooms have beamed ceilings.The Cottage Lodge is open all year,except for a week or so over Christmas and the New Year. New Forest Ponies, Cattle and sometimes donkeys can be seen wandering down our road, but never make it over the cattle grid where you can safely park your car in our large car park.

A very warm welcome awaits you in the Snug Lounge where you can share a drink from our licensed bar in front of the log fire, which is lit on chillier days and evenings. A superb local breakfast is served in the separate dining room where individual tables are set out. A choice from a full English cooked breakfast to a Continental or lighter breakfast. Vegetarians are catered for and special diets by arrangement. From the Cottage Lodge there is a wide range of public houses, and restaurants within an easy walk.

We are able to offer you a choice of 12 individually designed bedrooms all en-suite, some with showers and some with bath and shower over, but all with television, radio alarms, hairdryers and tea/coffee making facilities. We have five ground floor rooms for those who find stairs difficult but please let us know if you have any special requirements and we will be happy to help you. Our other rooms are on the first floor including "The Exbury", our superior double room with canopied bed and sunny balcony. We also have the Forester's Room which is approximately 350 years old but mind your head, people were not so tall in days gone by, this is a lovely east facing room.

We now have an accessible double or twin bedded room with ensuite wet floor shower room for those with mobility needs.

The Cottage Lodge is situated just a few minutes walk from Brockenhurst main street where you will see the famous watersplash where ponies, cattle, donkeys and other Forest animals come to drink. This little stream runs right across the main road so drive through slowly if taking your car and turn left or right to explore the fabulous open New Forest where all the animals have rights of way and the speed limit is a maximum of 40. Please do not feed the animals as although they all have owners within the New Forest they have not been broken in and are wild, and you can get fined if found feeding them. Horse riding and cycling are also available nearby.

As Brockenhurst is just off the centre of the New Forest within a short drive you can explore the lovely Georgian yachting town of Lymington where on Saturdays you have the street market and the ferry leaves to the Isle of Wight every day all year round. Lyndhurst the capital of the New Forest is nearby and a short drive across the forest takes you to the world famous Beaulieu Motor Museum and Bucklers Hard where they built some of the first wooden boats using Forest Timber. With so many attractions to visit in the area you will not know which to choose, but your hosts will soon point you in the right direction and help plan your day for you if required.

So don't delay book your stay in this 17th Century Hotel where your hosts
Christina and David are waiting to welcome you.
