The Guardian recommendation for walkers

The Guardian have published an article titled “20 of the best UK hotels, B&Bs and campsites for walkers” and we are very proud to see that Cottage Lodge is in the top 3!

An extract from the article says:

“Christina Simons, owner of this cosy hotel near Brockenhurst in the New Forest, has created several self-guided walking routes direct from the front door, most including a good pub pit-stop.

The lodge has 16 rooms, two of which are dog-friendly, and much of the furniture is made by a local sculptor from fallen New Forest trees.

Walks To Lyndhurst via Standing Hat woods (7 miles), looking out for deer; walk or get the bus back. Catch a train from Brockenhurst to coastal Lymington for a 3-mile walk through Keyhaven marshes, a good place to see migrating birds. ”

The New Forest is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, with a great variety of landscapes to enjoy, flora and fauna to discover and distances to choose from.

Below are some of the views that you can enjoy at a walking distance from the hotel.
