New Forest pony - mare and foal 2010


New Forest holidays spent in this wonderful UK National Park should be fun for all the family.

It is a unique destination, where you will see ponies, cows, deer and maybe the odd pig roaming free.

There is so much to do on your holidays; cycling, walking, fishing, exploring the New Forest or just having a great time relaxing. Since I first set this info up I've added more at-a-glance links

Here are some places you may wish to explore

I hope this helps and that you explore and enjoy your holiday in the wonderful New Forest UK National Park.

Sandy Balls - View from Giants Grave at Sandy Balls
I recently visited the Sandy Balls Holiday Centre and can really recommend it.

Whether you are looking for

  • luxury woodland lodges

  • a clean, well run camp site

  • a caravan site with full facilities

  • a beautiful woodland setting

  • peace and quiet

  • great leisure facilities

  • pets welcome in some areas
they are all here for you on one site.




Why would I recommend Sandy Balls?

Apart from the above facilities they offer, each time I've visited it the staff have been warm, efficient and helpful and the guests have looked really happy and are obviously enjoying their stay.



A secluded woodland lodge It is set in 120 acres of woodland and really is an all year round place to stay.

They are also heavily focused on conservation and have a fascinating history.

Here is a quote about the site:

"Hear the quiet

See the beauty

Sense the tranquillity".

From: A handbook for Sandy Balls written by Jean Westlake.

The day I visited it was a calm, tranquil and lovely place to see.

I'll share with you what I saw on my visit to Sandy Balls and why I would recommend it to you for your holidays.

  • Luxury woodland lodges
  • Peaceful, hideaway lodges
  • Pet friendly lodges
  • Woodland holiday homes
  • Touring caravan pitches
  • Camp site pitches
  • Ready tent pitches - I think this is a great idea!
  • Excellent leisure facilities - one indoor and one outdoor pool
  • Beauty and well being centre
  • The Bistro and Woodside Inn for tasty, often local food
  • Cycling, walking, fishing, horse riding - all activities can be arranged
  • On site shop
  • Forest and Nature Reserve

What I felt really shone out from the guests I saw enjoying their holiday here, for either a short break or longer, was that they were of all ages. Many had been coming back year after year through the generations.

That surely shows that New Forest Sandy Balls Holiday Centre is well worth a visit for all the family or just a romantic break.

This New Forest holiday destination is where people, year after year, want to return to.
