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.

What a gem of a place! Perfect location for exploring the New Forest. A few mins walk from Sway station, but secluded & quiet. You can hear occasional trains but it did not spoil the tranquility of the place at all. It's so very lovely & quiet. The house was spotlessly clean, modern, tastefully decorated & furnished. We had everything we needed. The only thing we didn't realise until we'd actually booked it is that there is camping there as well, but honestly, it's a small camping area & there were just a few tents and a couple of campervans & the camping site was as quite as anything at all times. Pubs are nice & easily walkable. Discount in the nearest pub for food, just a few minutes up the path. We sat on the varanda with a glass of wine when we came home and enjoyed the views and peacefullness. The beds are super comfortable too. The hosts Lynn and Mark are delightful and helpful. Be sure to purchase some goatsmilk soap from their little shop. We hope to return, its wonderful.
