If getting away to the seaside appeals as much as exploring the forest, then why not seek New Forest cottages to rent with a hot tub that are close to the coast?

Walk in one direction along Stanpit and you’ll reach Avon Beach, or head in the other to hit Christchurch town centre (where there’s a train station if you need it).
This superb studio is the perfect size for two and is separate from the owner’s house, with its own private entrance. You also get your own fenced-off garden area containing the hot tub.
