FAMILY RUN BED & BREAKFAST IN THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK

FOR BEST DEALS PLEASE BOOK DIRECT

David & Rosetta Welcome You

Welcome to Forest Side Guesthouse

We are David and Rosetta, the owners of the Forest Side Guesthouse, formerly known as Temple Lodge, and between us we have over 39 years’ experience within the hospitality industry. 


Following numerous visits to Lyndhurst and the New Forest National Park, and having a shared passion for the outdoors, hiking and cycling, we recently relocated from Jersey, Channel Islands to the New Forest so that we may realise a preferred work-life balance whilst engaging in our ultimate dream guesthouse venture.


With us we bring personality, a sense of humour and most importantly 'heart' to what we want to achieve - a family run guesthouse that we can open up and share with people like you so that you may experience the freedom and charm of all the 

New Forest National Park has to offer. 


We are ‘doers’ and together we are passionate and deeply invested in our new home and guesthouse.  We aim to provide a personal touch, to deliver over and above your expectation of a perfect break whether that be a weekend or extended stay, celebration, anniversary, business trip or some simple and well-deserved ‘time out’.   


We’re excited that you took the time to visit our web page and we truly look forward to having the opportunity of welcoming you to the Forest Side Guesthouse offering quality bed and breakfast.  We are ultimately here so that you may enjoy all that we can share with you.


Feel free to browse our Forest Side Story blog and the Calendar of Events for more information on local attractions and advice on planning your trip with what you ‘must see’ and ‘must do’ during your visit to the New Forest National Park.   


Your Forest Side adventure awaits you.


Hope to see you soon.


David & Rosetta
