New Forest

With its wild ponies and pretty villages, it’s no wonder the New Forest is third on our list of top destinations for a weekend lodge break.

Our SEO Manager, Laura, shares her top 3 things to do during a weekend break in the New Forest:

• Enjoy a pub lunch: Discover one of the lovely traditional pubs in the New Forest, my favourite being The New Forest Inn, due to its countryside charm and watching the ponies pass by.
• Explore on horseback: Take to the bridleways and tracks crossing open heathland with an exciting horse riding lesson in the New Forest.
• Head to the city: For shopping and brunch, visit Southampton city centre's Westquay before heading to Ocean Village to dine while admiring the five-star marina views.

Northumberland

Visit Northumberland for a weekend stay, and you won’t be disappointed. Within easy reach of Newcastle and coming fourth on our list of top booked lodges for short breaks, read on to discover some top-rated activities.

Our Regional Marketing Manager, Leah, shares her top 3 things to do during a weekend break in Northumberland:

• Chase castles along the coast: Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England. Take in the grandeur of Bamburgh, wander the coastal path to Dunstanburgh, or cross to Holy Island for something a little different.
• Boat trips to the Farne Islands: Sail with Billy Shiel’s, a family-run company guiding visitors since 1918. Expect seals, puffins, and, if luck is on your side, you'll see dolphins or even a passing killer whale.
• Stargaze at Kielder: With some of England’s darkest night skies, Northumberland offers stargazing that feels otherworldly. Kielder Observatory is the prime spot with regular events led by professional astronomers. 

We also have a lovely collection of lodges in Cornwall, Devon, Yorkshire, Scotland and Wales, should you fancy venturing somewhere new for a short stay.
