In the charming village of Brockenhurst, nestled in the heart of the New Forest National Park, this charming 17th century residence has been extended into a 5-star bed and breakfast. This is no ordinary bed and breakfast. Until January 2007, it was a hotel. Today, Cottage Lodge offers 3-star hotel quality rooms at bed and breakfast prices, with the friendly and more informal style of service associated with a bed and breakfast. Cottage Lodge was rated best bed and breakfast in the New Forest by the Guardian newspaper, and is also an award-winner of the Sustainable Business of the Year 2008 by Enjoy England. The Cottage Lodge provides a charming, eco-friendly base for your stay in this beautiful area. As the property is a cottage with parts dating from the 17th Century there are low ceilings and restricted head height in some rooms.
Cottage Lodge is based in the thriving New Forest village of Brockenhurst, so you may experience a little noise. However, this does mean you are within just a few minutes’ walk of all of the town’s shops, eateries and open forest. Bicycle rental, horse riding and the railway station are also all within easy reach. Brockenhurst is one of 3 New Forest villages where the ponies, cattle, donkeys and even pigs can wander freely around the village. They can sometimes be seen on the little green opposite Cottage Lodge. This 5-star bed and breakfast was awarded the highest award for sustainability by Enjoy England (the former tourist board), making it officially the UK's Most Sustainable Tourism Business 2008. This means Cottage Lodge does its best to reduce its carbon footprint by reducing waste, using eco-friendly cleaning products, low-energy light bulbs, improving insulation and buying energy from renewable resources. Inside the property, you will fine a small, beamed snug with honesty bar. The hub of this property was created from reclaimed ships’ timbers in 1650. You are welcomed with a complimentary tea or coffee by either the owner or a manager. We hope you have a good stay and we look forward to meeting you.
