The Perfect New Forest Cottages Dog Friendly Holiday



Love holidaying in the New Forest but can’t bear to leave your furry companion behind?
New Forest Cottages have just under 50 dog friendly properties, 20 of which all have direct forest access, perfect for those long walks straight from the front gate. With mile upon mile of open heathland, moorland and thick woodland, the New Forest is a dog walker’s haven and they’ll be so grateful you didn't leave them behind.

We have selected a handful of these properties that we think would be great for that fun filled outdoors break away.
