In the heart of the New Forest, there are more than 140 miles of tracks and footpaths, so just think of all the walkies you're going to have with your pooch at home.

Customer review: "Everything from booking to the cleanliness of the caravan was very good. We brought washing up liquid, cloth and tea towel but didn't need to as these were in a goody type bag. We also had two dogs with us and both got their own goodie bag with a blanket, folding food bowl, treats and a dog toy. The facilities and especially the pool area were great. On the whole, we will be recommending and staying at the resort again."
