With these features, the New Forest makes it easy to combine long walks, scenic views and relaxed evenings without leaving your dog behind.

Whether you’re after scenic walks, woodland adventures or cosy pubs, the New Forest offers a dog-friendly escape full of fresh air and freedom.
Here are a few well-loved options to get you started:

Policies can differ, so check the latest details before booking, especially if you have a large dog or plan to bring more than one.
Take a look through our dog-friendly hotels in the New Forest and pick the stay that suits your plans. Whether you’re after woodland walks, open heath adventures or cosy evenings in a village pub, you’ll find plenty of places where both you and your dog can enjoy the forest together.
Hampshire has plenty of dog-friendly rooms to choose from but some of the most popular include the Thatched Cottage Hotel, Penny Farthing Hotel and Cottages, and Roost.
The Forest Park Country Hotel and Inn and The Elizabeth House Hotel both offer private parking on-site.
This will depend on the hotel you choose, your preferred travel dates and how long you stay for. However, if you have a budget, we can recommend accommodation options to suit.
Again, this will depend on the hotel you choose. Typically, dog-friendly hotels have access to dog beds, bowls, treats, and dog blankets. Pet parents can enjoy soft beds, coffee and tea making facilities, and en-suite bathrooms.
If you’re looking for a romantic retreat, we say choose either the Angel & Blue Pig or The Stag Hotel.
