Holiday cottages in Brook, Hampshire

Brook is a delightful and rather picturesque hamlet with several well equipped holiday cottages, located just inside the New Forest, just a few miles from Romsey. It is perhaps best known for the Rufus Stone south of the village which marks the spot where the then King of England, William Rufus was said to have been killed by an arrow fired by a French nobleman in 1100. The hamlet features a mix of 18th and 19th Century cottages, including the town’s two traditional inns – the Green Dragon and the Bell Inn – both originally dating from the 18th Century. Be prepared to see pigs, sheep, donkeys and, wild ponies and horses grazing on the village green!

Holiday Cottages in Brook are fully equipped for self-catering but there are also quaint village pubs close by if you prefer to dine out or book a last minute break with no time to plan!.
