Airbnb New Forest, England: A Collection of the Best Airbnbs
Only a few hours drive away from London but a world away from the traffic, hustle and bustle is the New Forest, an area of natural beauty that offers a peaceful respite from busy living. The New Forest is a beautiful National Park containing unenclosed pasture land, heathland and acre upon acre of forest. With plenty of walking and biking trails and outdoor activities to keep your busy, a trip to the New Forest is always a good idea. Accommodation options in the area are plentiful, so where do you even start looking? Here is a list of our top Airbnb New Forest listings that are perfect for every occasion.
AIRBNB NEW FOREST: THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING
↠ Most Airbnbs are located in the towns and villages surrounding the New Forest National Park. Having said that, there are a few options inside the National Park where you’ll most probably have walking trails right on your doorstep.
↠ Having a car is highly recommended as public transport doesn’t cover all properties and parts of the New Forest.
↠ Make sure to book in advance during peak season as these Airbnbs are super popular and usually get booked out far in advance. During the summer months and holidays and on public/bank holidays you’ll need to book sometimes serval months in advance.
