A pretty Victorian house set on the banks of a stream where wild ponies gather to drink. With direct access on to the New Forest for walking, cycling and riding this is an enchanting place to visit - very quiet and, as we are often told by our guests, very relaxing.

Brockenhurst village with shops, pubs and restaurants and main line station is just a few minutes walk from The House on the Ford.

There is plenty to do and places to visit; the yachting town of Lymington, with its great Saturday market, is 4miles away. From there you can take a short ferry ride to explore the Isle of Wight.

Beaulieu, Lyndhurst, Burley, Southampton, Bournemouth are all a short drive from the House on the Ford
