Our favourite place in the New Forest
This cottage gives us everything we need for a holiday in this area. It’s quiet and peaceful with the occasional deer at the bottom of the garden. The enclosed large garden is perfect for our two dogs. The interior is well designed and very clean and tidy. My one wish is that it had a dishwasher but that wouldn’t stop me coming back which we definitely will be. Love it !

Super little cottage on the edge of the New Forest
The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a short break in the New Forest. The Colin Nash restaurant was a short walk away with delicious food and staff were very welcoming. We also had a lovely meal at The Rising Sun, a short drive away. There was storage for our bikes. The garden was fully enclosed and our dog was more than happy exploring. The only niggle was the noise of the fridge - an annoying beeping sound, you could hear sitting in the lounge.
