Bramble Lodge, is located within the picturesque New Forest National Park and affords direct access into the forest. This new detached, self-contained, cosy and secluded retreat has its own separate entrance and is perfect for couples who enjoy cycling, walking, horse riding or who want to explore this wonderful area and its many attractions.
Located at the rear of the lovely gardens of Brambles, the owners' charming cottage, Bramble Lodge has its own private parking outside the lodge and there is stabling for one horse should you want to bring your own horse away with you.
Conveniently located, Bramble Lodge is just two miles from Burley and Bransgore which are both thriving New Forest villages with plenty of shops and pubs to sample.
Not only are there excellent land-based activities to enjoy, but also the unsurpassed sailing waters nearby of the Solent and Poole Harbour.
Directly from the front door you can stroll along the forest road and enjoy watching the ponies, cattle, donkeys and even pigs peacefully grazing. There are also many species of birds to be seen - and if you don't actually see them, you will certainly hear owls by night and woodpeckers by day!
Enjoy the freedom of roaming the New Forest with wonderful walks from Bramble Lodge over forest land and gently undulating heath. There are three pubs, in different directions, within approximately one and a half miles walking distance, providing you with the opportunity to explore the area by foot whilst working up an appetite and thirst! The area is also very popular with cyclists both on and off road, with picturesque rides in the Burley, Holmesley and Brockenhurst areas.
What to Do and See: Spend a morning in Christchurch and visit the beautiful 11th century Priory Church. Mudeford Quay is nearby with its lovely beaches and boats. Enjoy a game of golf at Burley Golf Club (two miles away) - a beautiful forest club where golfers and ponies roam freely together! Take a leisurely drive and follow the scenic forest road via Burley village to Lyndhurst, the capital of the New Forest (just fifteen minutes away). The famous Motor Museum at Beaulieu is also within easy reach, as are Bournemouth and Poole’s renowned beaches and a little further afield, Dorset’s Jurassic coastline. There are also markets at Ringwood (Wednesday) or Lymington (Saturday) that you can visit and stock up on provisions.
