Dog-friendly glamping in the New Forest

There’s a special kind of magic (and a dash of witchcraft) in the ancient woods and heathland of the New Forest. Happily, it’s a lot more tranquil today than when William the Conqueror used it as his hunting ground. With miles of open countryside, grassy river banks and walking trails, the area makes for an ideal glamping break with your dog. This is a place where animals get top billing, so your pup will fit right in among the ponies and cattle meandering casually down village high streets. Take a look at our dog-friendly glamping places in the New Forest.

You’re in the heart of the south so it’s easy to visit the coast, Stonehenge or historic towns like Winchester and Salisbury. If that sounds like a lot of unnecessary effort, you and your hound can simply frolic in nature, snooze by the woodburner and enjoy treats – of the BBQ and dog variety – out on the deck.
