1 / 19Abbots Well Annexe
Frogham, Hampshire
A one bedroom annexe for two at Frogham near Fordingbridge, all on one level, with a fully enclosed garden and two dogs welcome, on the northern New Forest heath.
This one is for adults and the owners mean it, because children are not taken here at any age. What that leaves is a dog friendly annexe for two people and two dogs at Frogham, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a fully enclosed garden, the whole lot of it on one level. The heath begins where the lane runs out.
An annexe of this kind usually turns out to be a room and a kettle. This one has a front door of its own, a bathroom off the bedroom holding a bath and a shower both, a proper kitchen, and a garden that is fully enclosed and furnished rather than merely fenced. Nothing has a step in front of it, which means two dogs can come in muddy and go out again without a stair between them and the grass.
It is built for one specific week: two people awake early, two dogs that have been waiting by the door since six, and no timetable belonging to anybody else in the house. A welcome pack is left ready, and the washing machine is available if you ask for it, which after a fortnight out on the commons counts for a good deal more than it reads.
Abbots Well gives the annexe its name, a spring up on the open heath above the village where the ground drops away west into the Avon valley. The northern commons run from there in gorse, bracken and gravel ridge for as far as two dogs can reasonably be walked, with commoners' stock loose across all of it. Burley lies southeast through the trees on a day when a village with something in it is wanted.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Abbots Well Annexe dog friendly?
Yes, Abbots Well Annexe welcomes up to two dogs. The annexe has its own front door, a fully enclosed and furnished garden, and is entirely on one level — so muddy dogs can move freely between inside and out without any steps to negotiate.
Are dogs allowed at Abbots Well Annexe year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the annexe is set up to handle the kind of walking that comes with year-round New Forest conditions — there's even access to a washing machine on request for post-walk kit. It's worth confirming directly with the owners if you're planning a winter stay.
What should I know before visiting Abbots Well Annexe with my dog?
The northern New Forest commons are right on the doorstep, but it's open heath with commoners' stock — cattle and ponies — roaming freely, so dogs will need to be kept under close control around livestock. The annexe itself is well set up for dogs: fully enclosed garden, no steps anywhere, and a level layout throughout, which makes coming in from a muddy walk straightforward.
