🍂 Autumn is calling… and the children are back at school! 🍂
If you’re ready for a quieter New Forest escape now the summer holidays are over, we have three gaps remaining at The Byre, our beautiful two-bedroom holiday cottage:
📅 21st – 24th September
📅 28th September – 2nd October
📅 12th – 23rd October
The Byre is a beautifully converted former dairy parlour, combining rustic charm with modern luxury. With two spacious bedrooms, underfloor heating, a fully equipped kitchen and your own private garden and patio, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a few peaceful days in the forest.
And autumn is a wonderful time to visit the New Forest. 🍁 The crowds have eased, the forest begins to take on its beautiful autumn colours and the annual pannage season means you may even spot pigs roaming freely beneath the trees, just as they have done for centuries.
Following the recent fire in the wider area, we know some people may be wondering whether now is a good time to visit. The New Forest remains open and welcoming to visitors, and there is still plenty of beautiful countryside to explore and enjoy. As always, we ask visitors to follow any local guidance and restrictions that are in place to help protect this very special landscape.
So, if you’re looking for a peaceful autumn break without the school-holiday crowds, why not make The Byre your base?
🍂 Three autumn gaps available — and no school run required! 😉
