We’re super excited to have been a main feature in Coast Magazine's round up of dog-friendly stays back in July… 🐾

They put us in the spotlight with an article in their online July edition (in print Nov...) which recognises us for our fantastic collection of Dog Friendly stays! Our extra efforts to make your four legged friends feel as welcome as at home go a long way; they said...

"The team at New Forest Escapes, who are all locals themselves, are like dogs with bones when it comes to pairing you and your pooch with the perfect getaway ...almost all have enclosed gardens ... one even has an outside warm water wash station for cleaning muddy dogs!"

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves! Check out our dog-friendly stays in the link below…

Introducing our NEW escape… Avocet ✨

Tucked just off Lymigton’s hustly-bustly High Street, a stay in our contemporary pad means you are close to all sorts of adventures! Honouring industrial roots, amongst a 21st Century renovation, we love the warehouse-chic style that still presides….

Sleeps 2+ Baby ✨ Dog Friendly ✨ Lymington

Speaking of explorations, you have definitely come to the right place! Located a matter of steps away from the (smack bang) middle of Lymington High Street- you’ll be spoilt for choice with where to eat, drink & be merry… Head down the cobbles for boat & bike rides (a tipple by the shore is always a good idea for afters), or get stuck into the smorgasbord of food & drink gems that surround.
