Dog friendly first floor apartments in historic thatched cottage in New Forest

Situated on the edge of the historic market town of Ringwood, Avon Accommodation can be found above the Old Cottage Restaurant, which is one of the oldest most painted and photographed buildings in Ringwood, dating back many centuries. The suites are full of charm and character, sympathetically restored and refurbished offering high-quality accommodation. Due to the property's age and nature, there are uneven floors, narrow steep stairs, some very low beams and door heights, so please mind your head! Both apartments are dog friendly. There will be no extra charge for your dog, providing no damage is done and no extra cleaning is required. Please let us know when booking if you would like to bring your dog as conditions apply.

Ringwood sits between two forests: Ringwood forest with its wealth of pine trees, cycle paths including Moors Valley Country Park; and the New Forest National Park which offers thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodlands where ponies and cattle roam free. You may also see wild deer, donkeys, foxes, badgers, rabbits, and various birds, including birds of prey. Both forests are fantastic for exploring whether on foot, bike or horse. There are even segways to take you around Moors Valley and Ringwood Forest. Cycle hire is available at Moors Valley Country Park and in Burley High Street
