Dog Boarding
Our home dog boarding service offers a secure, loving environment for your dog in the New Forest National Park. With a maximum of four guests, we provide 24/7 supervision, daily walks, and individualised care. Guests enjoy access to an acre of enclosed paddock, agility equipment, and a dog pool, ensuring physical and mental stimulation. All stays include cosy evenings by the fireside and regular photo updates for owner reassurance.
Agility Playtime
Dogs engage in structured agility sessions using jumps, hoops, and weave poles to enhance physical fitness and coordination. This activity stimulates natural instincts while providing controlled exercise tailored to each dog's abilities. The enclosed paddock ensures safety, and sessions are supervised to maintain positive interactions between guests, promoting socialisation and confidence-building in a fun, energetic environment.
Forest Walks
Daily walks within the New Forest National Park offer dogs immersive sensory experiences and off-lead exploration in designated areas. These excursions provide mental stimulation through varied terrain and wildlife encounters while reinforcing obedience training. Walks are conducted in small groups to ensure individual attention, with all dogs kept on leads when required for safety and environmental preservation.
Dog Pool
The dedicated dog pool allows for refreshing aquatic exercise during warmer months, promoting joint health and cooling down after play sessions. Water activities are supervised to ensure safety, with gradual introduction for less confident swimmers. This feature provides low-impact exercise suitable for dogs of varying fitness levels, complementing our land-based recreational offerings.
Cosy Nights
Evenings conclude with dogs settling by the log burner for warmth and companionship, mirroring a home environment. This routine fosters security and relaxation after active days, with bedtime routines tailored to individual needs. The adult-only home ensures quiet evenings, while secure fencing and CCTV monitoring maintain safety throughout the night for complete owner peace of mind.

Our labranese just spent 4 nights at the New Forest Dog Hotel and she loved it. We were kept informed by Wayne about how she was doing and from all the photos and videos she was very well looked after. We would highly recommend

Superb place. Great facilities too. For my dog max, it's his home from home. Wayne and scott are caring, dedicated and very knowledgable about Max's needs. Max has such a good time there, that when I collect him and drive off he audibly pines till I'm halfway home!

A great relief to find a friendly and professional hotel for our beloved pooch Big Max. Wayne and Scott are lovely hosts with a fantastic set up. Max stayed 1 night as a trial before longer stays later in the year and we have no problem recommending The New Forest Dog Hotel.

I was looking for somewhere that would be home from home for my German shepherd , and I certainly found it here. Wayne sent me photos and daily updates, and Tillie looked so happy and relaxed I was even concerned that she wouldn't want to come home! She came home looking well, happy and healthy, ( and nicely groomed ) Tillie loved staying with Wayne and the other dogs at the New Forest Dog Hotel, and will certainly be checking in again soon. Thanks Wayne , you made me and my girl so happy.
