Our 40+ homes are spread all across the New Forest, in picture postcard villages like Beaulieu, Brockenhurst and Burley…where the pace is slow and the ponies roam free… To the wilder north of the Forest, near Fordingbridge, down to the glorious coastal walks at Milford and Keyhaven, on to bustling Lymington with all its Georgian charm.

Wood Haven invites you to settle-in and experience the true New Forest good life... where fresh air, forest wanders & quality time are all on the itinerary! Dog friendly.

Location, location, location... Wood Haven is perfectly positioned. Open Forest and picture postcard villages are around the corner while lively Lyndhurst is down the road (there’s also a footpath across the fields). Known as the capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst is home to the New Forest Heritage Centre, New Forest District Council, Forestry England’s regional office, and the Verderer’s Court. This ancient governing body is responsible for protecting the New Forest’s landscape, wildlife, character and cultural heritage. Lyndhurst’s busy, buzzy high street runs the gamut from serious glam to trad tea rooms and cycle hire. Browse antiquey shops and lifestyle boutiques, buy the freshest artisan bread from Bakehouse 24 and delish local produce from New Forest Family Butcher’s. This is definitely a foodie destination. Try the excellent eateries, amongst them highly regarded Thai and Italian restaurants. The Stag is a favourite pubby hang out, The Vibrant Tap is the place to go for craft beers and street food, and Renoufs cheese and wine bar is very popular. Café culture includes the likes of Café Parisien, Peggy May’s and The Forage. You can also dip into Lime Wood the luxury country house hotel and spa (turn past Bolton’s Bench one of the Forest’s iconic spots), for Michelin recommended Hartnett Holder & Co. Give in to wanderlust. Footpaths head off through woodland and heathland. Pull on your boots, hire a bike from Woods Cyclery and blow away the cobwebs. If you fancy a pint and proper pub grub, acclaimed country inns within a very easy foresty stroll include The New Forest Inn at Emery Down and The Oak at Bank.
