New Forest Lodges. We are a Dog friendly, self catering, luxury holiday destination. Situated on a working farm and enviably located in beautiful rural seclusion on the edge of the New Forest National Park.
A haven of peace and tranquility, this stunning cluster of lodges offers the perfect luxury escape.

Overlooking a series of private coarse fishing lakes, which guests are welcome to fish free of charge with their own gear or there's is a small hire fee for float rods, each of the fantastic lodges enjoys a sumptuous interior boasting contemporary features and its own verandah and hot tub – the ultimate way to relax, unwind and soak up the glorious natural surroundings.

The charm and majesty of the woodlands, heathlands and coastline of the New Forest and Dorset afford exceptional walking and cycling. Alternatively, with the rural market towns of Ringwood and Fordingbridge close by, opportunities to explore the numerous delights of this enchanting area abound. Plenty of other attractions for all the Family are a short drive away - Moors Valleys Country Park, Peppa Pig World, Beaulie Motor Museum, Stone Henge, Wimborne Minster, Durdle Door, Monkey World, The Tank Museum to name just a few!

We have stayed 4 times now and absolutely love it here. If I'm being picky the lodges are starting to show there age and i really wish there was some form of heating such as a UV light or fire pit so you could sit outside at night time, which is why this time i am only awarding 4* rather than my normal 5. But this really is a magical place and highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing
Peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The beautiful cosy lodge which was scrupulously clean,, warm and welcoming. Sitting in the hot tub watching and listening to the wildlife. The friendly and welcoming hosts the little extra touches of fresh bread, milk and yummy cake. It was our 20th wedding anniversary whilst here and the bottle of bubbles was a lovely touch. Wish we had discovered it years ago. We will definitely be back for a stay

Fantastic
The Lodge was well kept and gorgeous, the lay out for everything was perfect and the bath tub next to the bed was a nice touch. The place being dog friendly was probably the best part about it so our little pooch could enjoy the holiday with us! The staff are lovely and friendly, also accommodating to our needs, especially when they put up a 30th birthday banner for my partner with complimentary Prosecco in the fridge! 10/10 would definitely stay again. :)

An amazing relaxing stay with all we needed and more and we will come agiain!
Everything’ was perfect. Clean and fresh, the cake and bread were a very nice touch. Everything we needed was there and more. Husband loved the log fire. The bedding smelt so stunning! The communication ind information we received priory and during our stay was fab. Will definitely be returning and we have already highly recommended to friends. Felt so relaxed and chilled out. Wifi we could only get outside the lodge but we knew about this & it gave us excuse to stand out watching the wildlife.

Fourth visit- says it all!
This was our first visit in winter and we enjoyed our stay despite the weather! Relaxed luxury, a warm lodge and the fun of a log burner! Love the privacy, the hot-tub and watching the birds! Perfect location for the New Forest and the coast. Many thanks.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Gold Oak Farm has been owned by the Butler family for around 100 years now. In the old days it was a small fixed farm with all the work done with horses and manual labour.

The first tractor arrived on the farm in about 1950. Around that time the family started selling fresh milk door to door around the local villages. In 1986 the farm changed and became more people focused, the dairy buildings were converted into stables and the close fields are used for horses to graze on. The existing ponds were added and extended to form the basis of the day ticket coarse fishery. In 2008 the decision was taken to apply for planning permission to build luxury holiday log cabins around the lakes.

Construction of 4 Lodges started 2010 with our first guests visiting us in September 2011. We now have 10 spaced out luxury Lodges with a huge emphasis on rest and relaxation. We are very laid back hosts and will go out of our way to help you chill out. We continue to be and always will be a family business.
