There’s plenty to see and do whilst enjoying a relaxing leisure break at the Forest Park Hotel. The hotel offers tastefully decorated bedrooms, cosy lounges, delicious food and friendly, helpful staff.

From this welcoming comfortable hotel you can explore the 90,000 acre New Forest, visiting some of the picturesque traditional English Villages – Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard to name but two, perhaps a day out in Southampton – only a short distance away, or a walk along the sandy beaches of the south coast.

When booking a short break or weekend break in the New Forest, an ideal base can be found at the Forest Park Hotel in Brockenhurst. Originally built as a Vicarage in the eighteenth Century, Forest Park has been a hotel since 1902and is arguably the best positioned New Forest hotel as the national park is literally on the doorstep.

The Forest Park Hotel has maintained the charm of a period building but also offers the modern visitor comfort and amenities that many have come to expect, including BT OPenworld WiFi. Keeping active on your short break in the New Forest is almost a requirement, whether you are walking or cycling through the park itself or taking advantage of the hotels tennis court, outdoor swimming pool, or the riding stables which have horses suitable for beginners through to seasoned riders, you cannot miss the outstanding countryside surrounding the hotel.

On your weekend break in the New Forest you could explore for yourself the ancient roots of Brockenhurst by visiting St Nicolas church reputedly built in 737AD. There is also what is believed to be the oldest tree in the New Forest in the churchyard. The Yew has been carbon dated to over 1000 years old.

Brockenhurst is a lovely village and ideal for a base for your short break in the New Forest as it has a wonderful blend of charm plus shopping opportunities and is centrally located in the National Park to provide links to the many attractions and towns that give the New Forest its charm.
