New Forest bed and breakfast - an introduction

New Forest bed and breakfast accommodation is widely available throughout the New Forest National Park, particularly in the larger villages such as Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, Burley and Lyndhurst.

Facilities on through routes or in village centre locations will appeal to many visitors, whilst those seeking a quieter bed and breakfast experience will not be disappointed, either.

New Forest bed and breakfast establishments often welcome walkers, whilst some also welcome dogs. Checking before booking is, though, always recommended.

Costs vary, often reflecting location and facilities available, although there is inevitably a certain amount of commonality. Good advice, then, if cost is important, is to undertake at least a little research before booking a bed and breakfast break.

Those offering New Forest bed and breakfast almost invariably provide a warm welcome, excellent value and good service. Indeed, these holidays are so popular that many visitors return year-after-year. Remember, though, that it is often advisable to book well in advance, particularly during the summer months.

** New Forest ponies and other animals**
The New Forest
Commoners' ponies, cattle, pigs, sheep and donkeys are a popular part of the New Forest scene, but during 2019 agisters attended 159 road traffic accidents involving these animals, a small but disappointing increase on the 154 accidents attended in 2018.

Sadly, 58 animals were killed - 35 ponies, 13 cows, 8 donkeys and 2 sheep, whilst a further 32 were injured - 3 pigs, 9 donkeys, 11 cows and 9 ponies.

(Forty-three accidents occurred in daylight, 15 at twilight and 101 in the dark. Twenty-seven accidents were not reported by the driver involved).

Here's just one horrific example - Three donkeys killed in collision with van at notorious New Forest blackspot (Advertiser and Times)
** Always take care when driving **
