  • Family-run 45-acre Hampshire country estate with carp fishing lakes
  • On the edge of New Forest National Park; Bournemouth 30 minutes' drive
  • Well-equipped log cabins with private kitchen and bathroom facilities
Sitting in between the New Forest National Park and the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, Lake Farm is in an enviable Hampshire location surrounded by fabulous rural scenery. There’s a huge list of things to do nearby, whether you’re here on a family holiday or a relaxing break with your other half. Walks, watersports, beach days, animal attractions, historic sites… fill your holiday schedule however you wish without having to travel too far. In fact, there may well be the odd day when you don’t leave the site at all – instead choosing to spend some time exploring the 45 acres of this family-run private estate, playing outdoor games or opting for a day spent fishing for carp at the well-stocked lakes on site. There’s also the option of wandering out onto local footpaths for a stroll to take in the rural views or head to the village pub (about a mile away). And of course, you may well simply want to chill out in your lodge – these lovely log cabins all have plenty of space both inside and out, so take your pick from the sofa and TV in the living room or head out onto your deck to sip a drink on the outdoor furniture. Each lodge also has a private bathroom and a kitchen (with cooker, fridge, microwave and cooking kit), and bed linen is provided so you’ll be able to travel light (just remember to bring your own towels). The nearest town is Fordingbridge, 10 minutes' drive away and a useful place to find shops, takeaways, pubs and restaurants.
