Dog friendly first floor apartments in historic thatched cottage in New Forest, Ringwood

New Forest. Sleeps up to 4

You may also see wild deer, donkeys, foxes, badgers, rabbits, and various birds, including birds of prey. Both forests are fantastic for exploring whether on foot, bike or horse. There are even segways to take you around Moors Valley and Ringwood Forest. Cycle hire is available at Moors Valley Country Park and in Burley High Street
