Lock in a great price for Forest Side Guesthouse – rated 9.2 by recent guests! to get started.

In the heart of the New Forest sits our beautiful Victorian home, boasting 6 bedrooms with attached bathroom just a few minutes’ walk from the popular village of Lyndhurst. We are incredibly lucky to have direct access to the forest via a gate just across the road. You will find freely wandering new forest ponies, donkeys and tame cattle among breath taking scenery. We have retained many of the stunning Victorian features including high ceilings, period fireplaces and stained-glass windows. Each room is en-suite and has amenities such as towels, tea/coffee making facilities, hand and body wash, a TV and a hair dryer. Located at the back of the house we have an off-road car park with space for one car per room. We have a communal dining room and lounge that you will be able to use during your stay. Although we do not offer a breakfast service, there are several options available within walking distance in Lyndhurst town. Alternatively, guests are able to use the kitchen within the property at their convenience.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.

Neighborhood info

Known as the ‘capital’ of The New Forest, Lyndhurst is a charming village with lots of independent and delightful shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs. With nearby hamlets of Bank, Emery Down and Swan Green, you are sure to enjoy all the delights that our exciting bustling village life has to offer. Forest Side Guesthouse is proudly positioned opposite Bolten’s Bench, Lyndhurst’s celebrated local landmark and picturesque yew capped hillock. Here the giant yew tree delights in views over towards the centre of the village and the open forest beyond. Bolten’s Bench, which according to local folklore, was originally the corpse of a dragon slayed by a valiant knight, attracts many visitors who affectionately splendour in the delights of the New Forest ponies, donkeys and cattle grazing on the open lawns. It is fair to say that the true pleasure of the New Forest is simply ‘being’ in the moment, among the freely roaming ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer. If existing in nature is what you are looking for, then the New Forest has everything that you could ask for and with over 140 miles of tracks to explore, the New Forest truly is a tranquil haven.
