Thoughtful Family Experiences Designed to Be Shared
Time spent together is at the heart of a stay at THE NICI New Forest. The surrounding area offers a relaxed mix of outdoor adventure, gentle discovery, and classic family days out – all easy to enjoy without feeling rushed or over-planned. Our curated family experiences are designed to appeal to all ages while keeping the focus on simple pleasures and shared moments.
From coastal traditions to wildlife encounters and forest adventures, there’s plenty to explore just beyond the hotel.
Simple Coastal Pleasures
Crabbing is a much-loved local pastime and a wonderfully simple way to introduce younger guests to life by the water. Popular spots include Lymington Quay, Keyhaven, and Mudeford Quay, where calm waters and scenic surroundings make for an easy, enjoyable outing. Equipment is available locally, making it a spontaneous and memorable activity for families.
Paultons Park & Peppa Pig World
Just a short drive away, Paultons Park is one of the region’s most popular family attractions and home to Peppa Pig World. With a wide range of rides, themed areas, and play spaces, it offers a full day of fun for children of all ages in a lively yet well-designed setting.
Beaulieu & The National Motor Museum
Set within the beautiful Beaulieu Estate, the National Motor Museum is a firm family favourite. Home to an extensive collection of historic vehicles, interactive displays, and engaging exhibitions, it combines education and entertainment in a setting that’s easy to explore at your own pace.
Marwell Zoo
Marwell Zoo provides a rewarding day out for families, set within expansive landscaped grounds. With a wide variety of animals and thoughtfully designed habitats, it offers both excitement and learning, with plenty of space to explore and pause along the way.
Viva la revolución… with a side of flamingos. 🦩
Look closer, every piece at THE NICI tells a story.
For us, art isn’t just for walls; it’s woven into the entire experience.
From Cuban cigar moulds to bold, Miami-inspired pieces, each work carries a past, with a playful twist. Happy World Art Day! 🎨

A Riviera state of mind, set on the Cornish coast.
Think Amalfi-inspired interiors, sun-washed textures and tones, a first glimpse of what’s to come.
And yes… that is a tunnel leading straight to the beachfront.
