The cabin

Handcrafted comfort in
ancient woodland

Our New Forest Log Cabin in the Woods is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the many wonders of the New Forest. Set within peaceful woodland just minutes from the forest boundary, this handcrafted log cabin sleeps up to seven guests in cosy comfort — five in the two bedrooms, plus two more on the lounge sofa bed if you need the extra capacity. Wake up to birdsong, breathe in the fresh forest air and spend your days cycling through ancient woodland, exploring Fordingbridge, or simply relaxing in the shared heated indoor pool and sauna. Evenings are made for gathering around the fire with good food and great company. Self check-in via lockbox means you arrive on your own terms. Your host Scott is always on hand if you need anything, with a 5.0 rating for communication.

"We had a wonderful early family Christmas at the cabin in the forest. Lovely and the cabin itself is exactly as described — warm, cosy and beautifully decorated. Absolutely perfect."
