Cottage Lodge Hotel | Eco-chic Boutique Hotel in the heart of The New Forest

Stayed at the cottage lodge for a few days. Staff are extremely pleasant and happy to help. Great breakfast choice, lovely wee coffee and cake break on arrival. Room was great. All necessities provided, fan, fridge, extra blanket (winter only), safe and plenty of hanging room and storage. The team are very knowledgeable about the local area and will give you all the tips and recommendations you may need. There is also an honesty bar full of goodies that is accessible 24/7. If coming by car the team will allocate you a spot with a welcome sign. The lodge is well located in Brockenhurst, near the station and the shops. Plus there are always donkeys to be seen on the green out front. So please keep the gates closed wherever you go to keep the animals safe. Thanks to the team for looking after us, hopefully we'll see you again soon.

Thank you to Maurizio & Francesca and the Cottage Lodge team!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wit you the facilities were all perfect and nothing was too much trouble !! On arrival we were welcomed with coffee and cake whilst Maurizio checked us in and passed on some useful tips regarding local walks and restaurants. We stayed in a beautiful room, called the Exbury, which was tasteful decorated, perfectly clean with a very comfortable bed! I think it would be equally as comfortable in winter with the cosy blankets provided on the gorgeous hand made oak bed!! Breakfast was delicious cooked with local ingredients and kept us happily fuelled until dinner time!

Thank you for keeping us cool with refills of iced water whenever we asked !!

Looking forward to next time!
Very best wishes
Cathy & Rob!

We decided that we wanted to visit the New Forest in early October to celebrate a birthday, but we left the planning a bit to the last minute. When we looked for accommodation, we were getting a bit disheartened and started to think we would have not be able to find something that suited us, an environment with character but also cozy and suitable for a family with a young toddler, until we finally found the Cottage Lodge. The reality we met upon arrival stood up to our expectations. Our room was lovely, spacious and very clean. The furniture was carefully chosen and complemented the New Forest environment very well. The breakfast room (that also hosts a restaurant, which we didn’t try) is beautiful, with exposed beams and a very cozy feeling. The breakfast itself was delicious and served by lovely staff. We particularly appreciated the hotel attention to the environment, and the range of locally sourced products served at breakfast and available to purchase. Should we visit Brockenhurst again in the future, we will definitely be back!

We went for a short break for my wife's birthday, the hosts maurizio and Jackie are very friendly and helpful they decorated our room for her birthday which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated, the rooms are spotlessly clean the beds comfortable we slept well,the breakfast very good and not to be missed, very good location the village and all the amenities are only minutes walk away, will definitely be coming back in the summer, I would definitely recommend for a relaxing break to recharge your batteries and eat good food especially in the white tails which is on the premises (thank you Ramsey it was a pleasure to meet you) the food was very well prepared and good quality ingredients and service was excellent. all in all a pleasant experience

Maurizio and Francesca have a fabulous hotel! Fantastic location within walking distance to lots of fab restaurants and pubs as well as the New Forest itself to go walking/cycling/etc. and the train station, so it is easy if you are coming to or from London. Lovely clean room that was a really good size, plenty of room for us and our 3 month old and all his things! And lots of thoughtful details in terms of quality of the tea and coffee in the room, honesty bar, communal snug area, etc. that just made the stay that bit nicer. I would highly recommend Cottage Lodge!!

Here for our one year wedding anniversary over New Years and had the most fantastic stay! The place is so beautiful and romantic. Lots of beautiful woodwork with wood from the forest around (four poster bed with birch trees - like sleeping in a forest!), locally sourced food (the breakfast was almost too good - absolutely amazing and wide range of things to select from, all freshly cooked!), locally produced and luxurious soaps, shampoos etc. The room was nice and spacious with a little pateo outside. Great bathroom and bathtub with shower. The people running it were so lovely, accommodating and interested in their guests. The place is also just around the corner from everything Brockenhurst has to offer: wild ponies, cute town centre, nature walks, tea rooms... It was simply wonderful and may well become a new habit!

We have booked an overnight stay at the Cottage Lodge Hotel for our 1st wedding anniversary. Jackie who welcomed us on arrival was very nice, has served us very lovely tea and cake. The room we stayed in was spotless clean, with a very homey yet classy ambience. We had dinner in White Tails Restaurant and met the very friendly Ramsey, had our breakfast the next day in the same area, food and service was 100%. They have given us surprises which made our anniversary getaway even more memorable.

Thank you very much, Cottage Lodge Hotel and White Tails Restaurant!
