A few new houses, once a month

Where to base yourself

  • Brockenhurst
  • Lyndhurst
  • Beaulieu
  • the coast at Milford

Dog walkers love it, but keep dogs under control near the ponies and ground-nesting birds in spring.

What to check in a dog-friendly large house

  • Enclosed grounds and a fair pet policy — number of dogs, any surcharge.
  • Walks from the door, not a drive away with a wet dog.
  • A boot room or hard floors for muddy paws.
  • Big enough for the whole group — sleeps 10+.

Dog-friendly large houses in the New Forest: FAQs

№ 01Are dogs genuinely welcome in the New Forest?

The houses here actually welcome dogs — enclosed grounds and no mean per-dog surcharge. Always check how many dogs are allowed and any house rules, but we've read the pet policy on the ones we list.

№ 02Where can dogs walk near the New Forest?

Dog walkers love it, but keep dogs under control near the ponies and ground-nesting birds in spring. Walks from the door in ponies, heath and woodland, around Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst — ideal for a group bringing the dogs along.

№ 03Is there a per-dog charge?

It varies by house; we flag the ones with fair pet policies. Check the number of dogs allowed, any surcharge and the deposit before booking.

№ 04Can we get a big house AND dog-friendly in the New Forest?

Yes — these sleep 10+ and take the dogs too, so nobody (four-legged included) gets left behind. Areas like Brockenhurst suit a dog-friendly group trip.

№ 05Does booking through One Roof Stays cost more?

No. When you book through our links we earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. It never changes which places we feature.
