In the Victorian village of Brockenhurst, nestled in the heart of the New Forest National Park, this charming 17th century residence now offers 5-star guest accommodation.

Cottage Lodge is a friendly, family-run property offering 12 clean, comfortable hotel-style bedrooms. All of the rooms have en suite facilities with a bath or a shower. The standard rooms are the equivalent of a 2-star hotel room and the superior rooms are the equivalent of 3-star hotel accommodation. All rooms have tea/coffee making facilities, TVs and hairdryers. Irons are available on request.

Parts of the building date back to 1650 and still feature beautiful period features, such as original wooden beams. The lodge’s rich history mean it has a wealth of character and original charm. Taller guests will have to duck in places! Every room is individual and unique. Some are modern, while others have a traditional feel.

The Snug Bar and the breakfast room still boasts original timbers. A delicious full English breakfast is available from 08:15 to 10:00 and features locally sourced produce.

Reception closes for check-in at 20:00. Cottage Lodge is a quirky, family run guest house that was awarded Most Sustainable Tourism Business in England 2008 and was a finalist in the Best Bed and Breakfast in South East awards.

The village of Brockenhurst has 3 pubs, 7 restaurants, a train station, a petrol station and various shops. The lodge is just 4 minutes’ walk from open forest, but if you prefer to explore on horseback or by bike, horse riding and bicycle hire are available in the village.

A hotel until 2006, Cottage Lodge is now the best B&B in the New Forest (The Guardian newspaper, 2007).

Cottage Lodge is based in the thriving New Forest village of Brockenhurst, so you may experience a little noise. However, this does mean you are within just a few minutes’ walk of all of the town’s amenities.

Brockenhurst is one of 3 New Forest villages where the ponies, cattle, donkeys and even pigs can wander freely around the village. They can sometimes be seen on the little green opposite Cottage Lodge.
