Rushcroft Farm is in a peaceful location, yet only a 5 Minute walk into the village of Sway with local shops and 2 good pubs. It is also very easy to walk, cycle or horse ride out onto The New Forest National Park with miles of stunning off road tracks to explore.

We also offer two 2 bedroom barn cottages (Owl Barn and Buzzards View)

Rushcroft Farm is set in 20 acres and borders the Avon Water. We farm rare breed English Goats and keep horses and donkeys. Located in the New Forest National Park and walking distance (5 mins) to the village of Sway with 2 great pubs, a coffee shop and a selection of local shops. The forest famous for its free-roaming horses is just a 10-minute stroll. The area is a haven for cycling, walking and horse riding. We offer livery for you to bring your horse on holiday, please contact us directly for details and prices.

Within a short drive you can enjoy the forest villages of Brockenhurst, Burley, Beaulieu (motor museum), Lyndhurst and the yachting/market town and quay of Lyminington and even hop on a ferry to the Isle of Wight. Or take an exhilarating walk out to Hurst Castle along the spit with great views of the needles. Hop on a train to visit the historic docklands at Portsmouth in one direction or the sandy beaches and pier at Bournemouth the other way.
Motor enthusiasts will enjoy a day out at Beaulieu Motor Museum.

Cosy and spotless country escape

The property was a spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable home away from home. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The lodge was the perfect place to relax before and after exploring the New Forest by bike or on foot. We would be very happy to return.

Lovely cottage for two on a farm

Very well appointed and furnished two story cottage attached to a farm which had rare breed goats and some donkeys. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was spotless and had a very comfortable bed. The coast is very close as are the walks in the New Forest. All in all a great few days.

Fantastic little break, perfect location, great hosts

We had a brilliant time at Rushcroft Farm, our hosts gave us a lovely warm greeting on arrival and were friendly and welcoming throughout. Rushcroft Lodge was perfect, beautifully decorated and clean, and very homely. The only disappointment we experienced throughout our stay was the noisy arrival at 2.30am on the Friday of young ladies who were swearing and banging around, possibly a little bit worse for wear after a night out! We got the impression these may have been family members so didn’t complain as it settled down after 15mins, just a little disappointing as we had our 11yr old son with us who was also woken up and heard the bad language. Other than this, our whole experience was a very positive and pleasant one, we highly recommend a visit and will certainly be coming back.

A really lovely break in the beautiful New Forest. The Lodge is in a peaceful and relaxing location - we heard so many owls and saw so many stars! Great location to explore the Forest from.

Relaxing stay and beautiful location

The lodge was absolutely perfect for our short trip to the New Forest. It had everything we needed (including films, board games and puzzles for when we had a particularly rainy day!) The location was great and we were able to get to everything we wanted to do including renting some bikes to ride through the forest and visiting the harbour. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful property, tranquil surroundings, friendly owners, even the animals were welcoming

This property is well worth a visit, you will not be disappointed, tranquil surroundings and within easy reach of the forest and lovely friendly villages. We visited in January and were not disappointed. The property has everything you could possibly need, owners are very friendly and don't forget to ask about fresh eggs which taste amazing not like in the shops, I had forgotten what really fresh eggs taste like, brought some home with me. Have already recommended this holiday let and look forward to going back again so many more villages to see and don't forget the beaches. Lots of pubs and restaurants to eat in nearby to suit all pockets. Susan and Chris Sussex
