*LIMITED TIME ONLY* Dogs can stay for free. Child and dog friendly Bumble Lodge is located on Green Hill Farm Holiday Park which is a modern park with direct access to the New Forest. From all essential amenities to segways and archery, there's absolutely everything you'll need right on the site.
If you prefer, cast into a fishing lake to fish or stroll by the two wildlife lakes and step into the Forest to connect with nature and spend quality time with loved ones - and your 4 legged friends if you wish to bring them (must be on the lead in the park at all times). Please note that there is an unfenced lake in the grounds.
On the park you'll have a Cafe, Pizzeria, Park Shop and a range of exciting seasonal ranger activities. There is a small playpark right beside the Cafe so that you can enjoy a refreshment - or 2 - whilst the children play. There is ample seating with umbrellas for shade. And if it is raining there is a cinema screen inside a safari tent which is an absolute delight for the little ones. And then as it gets a bit cooler in the evening they will get very excited with the opportunity to toast marshmallows (available to buy at the Cafe) on the fire pit.
The children's activities are fantastic. There are small charges to pay the park directly and you'll need to book at reception. The Staff are so helpful and friendly and you'll feel truly looked after. The family friendly activities include bungee trampolines, mountain bike hire, Segways, Archery, mini golf, Ranger activities and many more. These activities are not available from 31st October until 31st March.
