  • "Lovely apartment just perfect for all our needs and in the centre of Brockenhurst and near the New Forest."

    We enjoyed our stay in this well thoughtout apartment and had the added surpise of a welcome pack, thank you very much. The apartment was very comfortable and an apartment we would certainly return to being very clean with a lovely bakers, butchers and greengrocers all so close to hand.

  • "Perfect apartment."

    Clean, spacious and comfortable. Brilliant location in the heart of the village. Welcome pack was a nice surprise. Easy to contact the owners but The Apothecary was so amazing and set up so well, we didn't need to ask them anything. Would highly recommend this beautiful apartment.

    Thank you for your comments and recommendation. We hope you will return. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely holiday - as mentioned before the toilets both being on the same floor is a minor inconvenience but this is clearly stated in the property information and doesn't seriously detract from the great facilities offered."

    We managed to travel everywhere by bus and train without the need to drive so the holiday was really relaxing for us all. The welcome pack was a nice surprise and the owners sent helpful information on the amenities in the surrounding area.

    Glad you had a good time. It is a Victorian building which affects the location of the services. Hope you will get the opportunity to see more of the New Forest in the future. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely immaculate flat in the perfect location for exploring Brockenhurst and the wider New Forest."

    The rooms are large, bright and clean and the facilities are perfect. Really appreciated the little touches like the welcome pack of milk, eggs, prosecco etc and the Christmas tree (considerately decorated to keep the baubles out of reach of our inquisitive 10 month old!). Communication from the owner was also great - very clear information and rapid responses. Highly recommended!

    Thank you. Really glad you had a good time and liked the flat. Property Owner

  • "Excellent facilities ( especially kitchen equipment) and the description of the property was very accurate."

    Two wc’s on first floor was a minor inconvenience - but only in that elderly parents had to use the smallest bedroom which had very little storage space and led to a few bruised shins. Also, the curtain rail in there had a tendency to come away from the wall - which could lead to future problems. We greatly appreciated the use of the pull-down bed in the study as one family member had to work via laptop in the mornings and this was a very convenient arrangement! Overall, everyone thought it was a very good apartment and very thoughtfully arranged and furnished. (5-year old grandchild on a day-visit rated it as lovely!) The milk, butter, bread, crackers and wine which awaited us were a very welcome surprise and the book of “domestic information” was one of the best we’ve seen. Thank you to the hosts!

    Thank you for the feedback. Not aware of any curtain rail issues but will look at it today - thank you for letting us know. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay, the apartment had everything we needed and was very thought out."

    We had a toddler with us and it was ideal as he could roam the open plan kitchen and front room. Rod was very kind and left us bread, butter, milk, eggs and biscuit which was very kind and perfect for a cup of tea as soon as we arrived after a long journey! The location of the property was perfect, lovely pubs and walks very local and Rod recommended some great places for us to try which didn’t disappoint! They even put up a Christmas tree for us as we stayed over the holidays which made the stay extra special. Would defiantly return and stay here again, can’t fault it!

    Really glad you had a good time and thank you for the great feedback. Hope to see you again and wishing you all the best for 2024. Property Owner

  • "Large clean apartment with all mod cons."

    Great to be directly on the 'high street' in Brockenhurst with easy access to shops, cafes etc and to feel part of the village community. Parking around the back of the property (space for one vehicle) - access could be quite tight for a largish SUV. Loved our stay here and would recommend.

  • "The Apothecary is a really comfortable and spotless duplex apartment in a beautiful New Forest Village."

    Lots of extras were included too - thanks R & C. We were only there for three nights so didn’t have the opportunity to sample all the eateries but those we did try were all well worth the visit. The only minor fly in the ointment was the lack of a wc on the top floor but that obviously couldn’t be helped. The back lane was tight but the next door car was a Volvo estate so most family cars should manage ok. Overall, highly recommended.

    Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback. Hope you get back to the New Forest to sample more of the eateries! Property Owner

  • "The property is super clean and spacious."

    We really enjoyed being in Brockenhurst and found it to be well situated for most places in the New Forest. Having our own space was useful also. The kitchen is really well and thoughtfully stocked. The bed linen and towels are all new of good quality. We struggled with only having one small bin for a week and found the property very warm - maybe a fan will be needed for the summer months.

    Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Glad you enjoyed it. We have a fan for the summer and understand that the Council will be introducing wheelie bins soon, which will help! Thanks again. Property Owner

    It was clean, spacious and well equipped for our family of four. We have two small children who loved their time here and the place was really well suited with stair gates on each level to make it safe for the little ones. The location is fantastic- with everything you could need on the door step. There are lots of things to do in the local area (highlights for us were highcliffe castle beach, beaulieu, and The Pig). The owners were very responsive if we needed anything. Would return in a heartbeat.

  • "The ‘Apothecary’ was perfect for a stay in the New Forest."

    Being in the centre of Brockenhurst means you can forget the car if you want to because there are lovely walks from the front door. There’s also a really good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Parking is easy with one allocated space and a large pay and display opposite. Other lovely towns and villages are also within easy reach. The apartment is lovely to come back to after a day out. It’s warm and comfortable with plenty of space. The kitchen’s really well equipped, so you can cook easily. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

The property

In the heart of the New Forest National Park is Brockenhurst, a lovely village with donkeys and ponies wandering freely around.

Lively by day but very quiet by night, the village has several tea shops, pubs and independent shops including a butcher, greengrocer and bakery.

Cross the ford at the end of the street and you are in the Forest, with its many walking and cycling routes.

In the centre of this traditional village lies The Apothecary, a spacious apartment spread over two floors with its rare private parking space and just 7 minutes walk from the train station that connects with Southampton, London, Lymington and Dorset.

This charming, light and spacious first-floor duplex apartment sleeps six guests in good-sized bedrooms, making it ideal for families or a group of friends looking to explore the National Park from a very peaceful base.

After a busy day exploring the forest or the towns, coast and countryside of Hampshire and Dorset, climb the stairs to relax in the contemporary, open-plan living space.

Prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen (or buy it in) and gather around the large dining table to discuss the day’s adventures.

Alternatively, soak in the bath or freshen up in the waterfall shower before you retire to light and airy bedrooms, furnished with the original Victorian fireplaces and with plenty of storage for your belongings; there is a second-floor twin room that children will love, a second-floor double and first-floor double.

There is also a study which can serve as an extra bedroom.

The Apothecary is close to an upmarket bar and coffee shop as well as other convenient local amenities, village pubs and restaurants, including: The Pig, The Snakecatcher, The Huntsman, the Foresters Arms and a farm shop stocked with local produce.

This charming village is also very close to some of the region's most beautiful scenery, including: Blackwater Arboretum, Rhinefield Ornamental Drive with its magnificent trees, Whitefield Moor and Longslade Bottom.

The nearby Common is a great place to relax with a picnic and for the young ones to splash in the stream and there are many miles of walks across the heather and gorse covered hills or through the woods.

There are many well signposted cycle routes to discover and bikes can be hired in the village.

Horse riding lessons, a round of golf and a trip to a water park are options.

On a sunny day head to Lymington, a picturesque town on the south coast with a ferry service to the Isle of White, and explore the Lymington Sea Water Swimming Baths, museum , Quay Side, and Nature Reserve or the nearby beaches of Milford on Sea.

You could also visit Burley (known for its connection with witches), Lyndhurst with its local history museum or nearby Beaulieu, which hosts the world famous National Motor Museum.

The beautiful Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway are a few miles away, and a little further afield are Christchurch, Salisbury, Bournemouth and the vibrant and multicultural city of Southampton, with its large shopping centre.

The Apothecary is ideally situated for those seeking a memorable trip to the New Forest, staying in a lovely, peaceful apartment in a beautiful village just yards from the open forest.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
