Location
About the surrounding area of The Brick HouseThe New Forest is found in the South of England, it covers most of South West Hampshire spreading into South East Wiltshire and East Dorset.
The New Forest is known mainly for the New Forest National park which, once used as a hunting ground for William the Conqueror, is an area of stunning natural beauty, encompassing waterways and rivers, spreading over an impressive 566 sq km, stretching all the way to the coast. This gives visitors a wealth of things to do, perfectly balancing coast, countryside, cliff walks and the more urban village and town areas.
Guests are free to walk, cycle or even ride through the national park, where they will be sure to come across the New Forest ponies which graze and live here all year round. (Be sure to pick up a lucky New Forest horse shoe from a local gift shop before leaving!) There are also deer, owls, otters and a plethora of other British wildlife. Beyond this there are many sanctuaries, gardens and even a wildlife park, all within the park area. The waterways that run through here are also impressive, offering visitors the opportunity to canoe, kayak, sail and even fish.
After an exciting day exploring the forest, visitors will find a whole host of locally sourced cuisine nearby, where one can enjoy a traditional meal of game and vegetables in a local public house or venture into a local village to experience the catch of the day, both accompanied by locally brewed cider, ale or beer.
Beyond the expanse of nature, coastline and cliff walks, there are also tea rooms, restaurants, a water park, theme parks and even the main shopping hub of Southampton, all just a short drive away.

Welcome to a treasure trove of wonders, the legendary land of Hampshire! Nestled snugly on the southern coast of England, this county is rich in history, natural beauty and a vibrant cultural scene. The county is sprinkled with wonderful Oliver’s Travels properties, from cute cottages to seaside wonders, luxurious manor houses and contemporary architectural gems.
Winchester Cathedral, a medieval masterpiece stands tall and proud in the historic city of Winchester. It is the rockstar of cathedrals, dating back to the 11th century, boasting stained glass windows that will make your jaw drop, medieval carvings that tell tales of yore and even the resting place of the legendary Jane Austen. Winchester is brimming with cobbled streets lined with indie shops and historic buildings that create an inviting ambiance. The Great Hall, with King Arthur's Round Table, adds a dash of myth and legend to this already enchanting city.
Portsmouth, a vibrant waterfront city is all about maritime glory. The Historic Dockyard, home to HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Museum, is a treasure trove of naval history. If you want a bird's-eye view of the action, the Spinnaker Tower is your ticket to panoramic views of the city and the mighty Solent. Next stop, Southampton, a bustling port city that offers more maritime adventures. The SeaCity Museum dives deep into the city's seafaring past while the Tudor House and Garden explore Southampton's rich history. The waterfront is alive with shops, restaurants and cultural hotspots.
If you venture into the Test Valley, villages like Stockbridge and Longstock offer a taste of quintessential English countryside. Thatched cottages, charming pubs and the soothing River Test meandering through offering soothing serenity and picturesque photo shots. The New Forest National Park is an ancient woodland haven where you can walk, cycle and encounter free-roaming ponies, deer and wildlife galore. It is nature's playground and you are invited to join the fun.
For the culture vultures, Hampshire has your back. The Winchester Festival is an annual arts extravaganza, with music, literature and visual arts. The Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham and The Anvil in Basingstoke are stages for the county's artistic soul, showcasing everything from live music to theatre productions.
Hampshire is the ultimate blend of history, modern vibes and natural beauty. Whether you are exploring cathedrals, wandering through quaint villages or embracing your inner adventurer in the great outdoors, Hampshire promises a fabulous time. Prepare to be bewitched by the diversity and charm of this southern English gem, it is a journey you won't soon forget!

Beautiful house, stunning location
We loved our stay at The Brick House & Annexe and would highly recommend it for large groups and families looking for a super luxurious holiday rental right on the water and in a beautiful part of the New Forest! The annexe was super cosy with an open log fire which was much appreciated during our early December stay and the house had so much history and character to it we just loved exploring all the different rooms and artefacts. The owner has really thought of everything here! The lovely quaint town of Beaulieu was just a 15-minute stroll from the house via a pathway passing cattle and the river – which was super peaceful and picturesque. We got some great Christmas gifts from the lovely garden centre behind Steff’s Kitchen and enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea there. We’d also highly recommend the Masters Builder for their Sunday roast! Would love to come back in the summertime to explore even more as it’s right on the river, and right next to an activities centre where you can hire kayaks and the like. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful stay
Best summer holidays in the UK we have ever had – loads for the kids to do – swimming in the river, kayaking, paddle boarding, trampolining, fishing, crabbing, trip to the Isle of Wight, Motor museum and some fantastic meals out locally. Would recommend the BBQ at the Master Builders just down the Beaulieu River in Bucklers Hard for a meal out with the kids and we sneaked back there to the restaurant terrace for one evening as well. Stylish and cool interiors, incredibly comfortable and goodies left for us on the kitchen table. 3 different areas to eat in the garden and kids loved the Yurt. Beautiful veggie garden as well. Thank you, we’ll be back. T&P

We loved this place
I have booked again for next year! Having never been to the New Forest before and being keen walkers and cyclists, this was a perfect base. We also used the activity centre near by a few times – kayaking on the Beaulieu River and laser tag with our kids. The Beaulieu Farm shop comes highly recommended and only 5 minutes drive away. We also went to the Beaulieu Motor Museum and for us of a certain age seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a delight! Loads of great restaurants and pubs nearby – The Mater Builders in Bucklers Hard, The Pig at Brockenhurst and The East End Arms. Spoilt ourselves one day in the Spa at the Limewood Hotel.

Wow, what a find!
Amazing and historic property on the banks of the Beaulieu River. Incredibly comfortable, well equipped, stylish and yummy bath room products from Bramley. We walked from the house down the river to Bucklers Hard where we visited the museum and had lunch at The Master Builders on the terrace outside the restaurant – beautiful day, fantastic food and service. The next day we had a BBQ in the garden whilst the kids swam off the jetty in the Beaulieu River. The owners have a great vegetable and cutting flower garden – Mike the gardener brought us whatever produce was ready along with their own bantam and hen’s eggs and Bex, the housekeeper who lives next door, had arranged flowers for our arrival – heaven. Our teenagers slept in the Yurt whilst we were in the house – proper eqyptian cotton and v comfortable mattresses. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Delightful stay for a long weekend
We were going to a wedding locally and added on a couple of days afterwards. This really is a hidden gem – hoping to come back next summer for a longer break.

Excellent Easter - Couldn’t recommend it more highly
We brought the family here for Easter – 3 generations of us. Really cool and quirky bedrooms for the kids with high platform beds (probably not suitable for young kids though). My parents were in a beautiful bedroom overlooking the fields behind and we were in another great room with views down to the Beaulieu River. Weather wasn’t kind to us on a couple of days so we lit the wood-burner, hunkered in for the day – cards, jigsaws, games and lovely roast in the AGA – incredibly comfortable place and v stylish. We had been left a food box from the Beaulieu Farm shop and a couple of bottles of wine – nice touch. Bex, the housekeeper was there to greet us on arrival.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
