The Guide to Brockenhurst, the New Forest (the Hotel, the Thermal Spa, the Restaurant and the Ponies) from Pearl Escapes 2012

Brockenhurst, in the UK's New Forest, is one of my favourite places and it's also home to one of the world's finest thermal spas. When you need to seriously relax it's a great retreat, and this detailed guide will tell you exactly how to make the most of it and what to watch out for on your escape.

I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or finding what to do when I did take time off. So, I thought "wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant."

So that's what I did.
