New forest holiday plan for active DD

[WEMum]

DD1 got her eyes set for a active New forest holiday. We haven’t been there before. Can someone recommend a place to stay for a family of four? We’d prefer a small cottage / flat self catering but wouldn’t mind staying at a caravan park with indoor swimming poor and outdoor activities.
We would also like to visit a farm if possible. Any recommendations?
We are flexible and could go in the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks a lot!

Sandy Balls Fordingbridge

Sandy balls definitely- lots to do and good things in driving distance too

Thanks ladies.will look into Sandy balls. Where to stay? Our budget is not too high.

Pyesmead Farm

Sandy Balls is where to stay www.awayresorts.co.uk/parks/new-forest/sandy-balls/ a range of accommodation prices we went for superior lodge and were amazed. We only did feee activities on site but did loads of day trips and dc ( primary age) loved evening shows a few times

How old is your daughter?

A trip to Moors Valley - you pay to park, and there is an adventure climbing trail, but you could also pay more to do go ape, bike hire, Segway etc…

Sand balls is really close to a horesriding place my dd went to. I forget the name but they'll know!

Look at the southern end of the forest too, Beaulieu/Brockenhurst/Lymington way.

There's longdown activity farm, some bird place next door to that, 2 riding stables in Brock, Beaulieu motor museum and an activity company in Beaulieu as well that will do water based stuff. Hoburne and shorefield holiday parks and also I think Hurst View which is right on the sea wall. There's actually quite a lot to choose from as well as holiday let's depending on what your budget is and what you want.

Arniss Equestrian I think,

Longdown farm is great

Arniss Equestrian I think,
Yes!

Thanks very much for all the suggestions. Sandy balls is a bit pricy for the Easter school holidays. And the weather forecast is not looking very good. We will probably book for the May half term instead.

Sandy Balls is great, but does get expensive in a the holidays.
