How your New Forest four-poster hotel room got its name

Discover Brusher Mills, the famous eccentric 19th Century Brockenhurst snake catcher who gives this romantic room its name. You can find his grave in the churchyard at historic St Nicholas church.

All of Cottage Lodge hotel’s 16 bedrooms are named after places in the New Forest, or people associated with the forest or the original building. Each room has its own, individual look.
