Holiday cottages, Bring your horse on holiday and a small exclusive Campsite in the beautiful New Forest National Park

We offer three modern, bright, comfortable self-catering cottages (open all year) - Rushcroft Lodge sleeps 2 and the other two barn conversions sleep 4. The light, space, airiness and decor of each, and their individual little private gardens are enchanting and welcoming. We also have a Shepherds Hut with beautiful views and stunning sunsets over the farm. We are in a convenient location to explore the surrounding National Park area with great local amenities in Sway Village on your doorstep;

Rushcroft also provides outstanding accommodation for horses in vast pastures with automatic water provided, and grass, even in the hottest temperatures, negating the need to feed hay. The whole atmosphere is extremely calm, laissez-faire and relaxed.

The campsite will open from 1st July to 1st September 2025 with hardstanding and electric hook ups, pre booking is essential. We do provide toilets, showers, chemical waste disposal points for your toilets, wash up areas and water points.

Being separate from the cottages the campsite is very peaceful with well spaced pitches. With only 7 pitches in a beautiful natural setting bordering the Avon Water, we offer the perfect escape to the country, with the space you need to breath, relax and rejuvenate. Providing calm and peace with the benefit of local amenities in Sway Village just a short walk from the farm. Visitors are invited to get away from all the clutter of modern life and experience nature and the great out doors in a convenient and beautiful location. The nature of the campsite means that social distancing is a way of life here.

Altogether the Farm covers about twenty acres, hidden away in a little corner of the New Forest, minutes from some of the best riding, walking and cycling that the Forest has to offer. Also only a few minutes walk from Sway village with pubs, cafe, shops and a railway station, great if you are looking for a car free break. Guests are welcome to visit our animals (English Goats, Donkeys and Horses) at pre-arranged times during your stay.

We farm rare breed English Goats and make our own Goats Milk Soap (we also hand craft and sell our range of Home Fragrances (Room Diffusers) direct to guests staying on the farm.

Please note we do not accept visitors to the farm that are not pre booked and on the booking form.

Rushcroft farm is the perfect place to stay in the new forest. Not only are you in the heart of it but, you are very near to lots of great amenities and places. We had a great stay here with our two children who are 1 and 4.
