Description

Graylands Cottage is much loved - 70% of our guests return due to our homely atmosphere and beautiful location. Sleeping 2-8 guests in 5 bedrooms, it’s ideal for relaxed multi-generational family catch ups and pets. In a tranquil position with lovely views, Graylands is tucked away in the New Forest National Park with walks starting from the cottage gate. Spend your days exploring the forest by foot, pony trekking, cycling, getting out and about exploring the areas many attractions or simply sitting back in the large garden and soaking up the lovely views and wildlife.

Graylands Cottage provides secluded self-catering in an old Forester's Cottage. Glorious views over the New Forest National Park restore the soul! Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of this haven, visited by an abundance of wildlife including numerous feathered friends and deer.

Perfect for families who want to visit this popular holiday destination, Graylands Cottage welcomes dogs and also offers a ten percent discount for couples or solo guests. We are very proud of the fact that some of our guests have been visiting for over 20 years, bringing new generations over time.

For those who enjoy walking, the tracks and trails of the New Forest start straight from the cottage gate allowing you to explore the area by foot. Why not walk out for lunch or supper at one of the local pubs? The nearest is only half a mile away. Fishing, pony trekking and golf are also available locally. Cycling is also very popular on designated gravel tracks within the New Forest National Park.

The area has an abundance of attractions to entertain all ages. Just ten minutes drive (or a two mile walk) is Fordingbridge, offering a wide selection of places to shop and eat. On the way to the market town of Ringwood is the Hampshire Wildlife Trust and also a lake for water skiing. Visit the pretty villages and towns of Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst (the 'capital of the Forest' with a tourist information centre) and Beaulieu, the home to the National Car Museum to name just a few. Drive 15 mins to the Elizabethan Mansion Breamore House, with its Countryside Museum and delicious Cream Teas. Or explore slightly further afield and visit Salisbury with its majestic cathedral, world famous Stonehenge, Paulton's Park (the kids will love Peppa Pig World!), Bournemouth and Christchurch on the coast and Lymington, the gateway to the Isle of Wight (why not take the ferry for a day trip!).

Stay locally and enjoy picnics in the forest where children can build dams, play pooh sticks and have a good splash around. For stocking up on provisions there is a nearby shop within walking distance across the fields at Sandyballs, and also the wonderful Wood Green community shop a short drive away.

Alternatively, simply relax and soak up the incredible views over the valley and New Forest with nothing to disturb you apart from the sound of bird song.
