The property is very well maintained and although it is small there is plenty of room inside. Very comfortable with a goodatmosphere. Laura was very helpful when we contacted her. Would definitely recommend. The local pub - The Woolpack - is 2 minutes away and provides excellent food at reasonable prices.

Lovely little cottage

Lovely cottage ideal for two people and Laura was always quick to respond. We used it as a base for a wedding at Sopley Mill and then to explore the area. It’s close to Christchurch, beaches, New Forest and also walking distance to the local pub. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Wonderful little home from home

We loved the Potting Shed, which was our base for a wedding we were attending at the Mill which was literally a 2min walk. There is nothing i could add to make our stay anymore perfect. Has everything you would need. We wished we could of stayed longer than the 2 nights but will definitely book again when visiting the area.

We were in town for a wedding at Sopley Mill. It is a three minute walk up the road. Highly recommend! This is the cutest place, clean and honestly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Would totally book this spot again. Easy parking on site as well.

Perfect for two

My parents stayed here over Christmas, as we had no room at the inn. The place was a short walk from us, and the pub, which is perfect. It had all the amenities required, as well as a lovely welcome bottle of something and a card. My parents said the bed was incredibly comfortable too. A great bolthole if you are exploring the New Forest and surrounding area.

Glad your parents enjoyed it Alexandra and that we could find them a nice place when there was no room at the inn. The mattress has recently been changed, so glad they approved :)

Just a little weekend away

We arrived at the Potting shed ready to start our mini break and we were not disappointed. We had some lovely welcome gifts. The property is situated near the woolpack (highly recommended) and the property had maps for walks we could do. It isn’t far from the beach by car either and we found the dog friendly part and had a lovely morning. We will be back!

The potting shed Sopley

The property was excellent for one person but, in particular, the bed was on the small side for more than one. The location was not brilliant being very close to a very busy minor road.

Glad you enjoyed the Potting Shed Gareth :) Just to confirm that although the bedframe is bespoke and handmade; it is a standard double. The mattress is only a few months old and its comfort has been noted by other guests. Although the road can get busy we are trying to use natural sound barriers by increasing the hedges and red robin, which is helping.

Spoilt by pet hair

The Potting Shed was quirky. Sofas not very comfy and had pet hair on them. Pet hair also on floir and on and under coffee table. I found this unacceptable as I wiuld if there were a lot of human hair around.

So sorry that there were pet hairs, I agree it is unacceptable and will take it up with the cleaning team and hope this won't happen again. I hope you still managed to enjoy your stay 😊

Das Cottage ist klein,sauber und alle notwendigen Ausstattungen sind vorhanden, den WLAN -schlüssel muss man sich allerdings selber suchen.Der Check in ist problemlos, der Kontakt zum Vermieter auch. Das Grundstück ist etwas vernachlässigt und lädt nicht zu längerem Verweilen ein. Zudem wird nicht erwähnt, dass das Cottage nahezu unmittelbar an einer vielbefahrenen Durchgangsstrasse liegt und der Geräuschpegel tagsüber doch relativ störend ist. Ein Pluspunkt ist das nur ca.50m entfernte Gasthaus mit sehr gutem Essen. Die allgemeine Lage ist gut für Ausflüge, auch zur Isle of Wight.

Great location and brilliant for cyclists!

We have just returned home from a 3 night stay at The Potting Shed. Communication with Laura from start to finish has been excellent. Nice set up with everything conveniently located on the ground floor. [We did not use the art room upstairs ]. Lots of cycling routes nearby and best of all, at least 3 pubs within walking distance. The Woolpack, just across the road was the best meal. Only a 10 minute drive to the beach and what a beach! Bigger garden than expected and nice to get the car off the road and make use of the excellent bike storage. Many thanks Sarah & Richard

The potting shed was nicely presented, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were friendly and responsive and the area is really nice too with a great pub and lots of country walks close by. Will book again next time we are in the area :)

Nice bijou bolt hole

The property is very nice, bijou but very well done and equipt. It is well placed for exploring the New Forest, the private parking was great for us and there is a nice pub, the Woolpack, just across the road. However, while sitting in the garden, you are subjected to a fair amount of road noise.

Small but perfectly formed

A brilliant use of space and colour with everything you need in a beautiful garden with lots of great walking from the door and a pub you can roll out of bed for with fantastic food...and a TV that gave Wimbledon time for us on our time out....very hard to beat.

Wonderful little bolt hole

We had a fantastic stay at the ‘Potting Shed’ and we’re delighted to find a gorgeous home from home, from the great location to the lovely log burning stove. Fantastically clean and tidy, with all facilities provided and a lovely welcome pack. We will definitely be returning!

Another happy visit to the PS

Have stayed here multiple times now and always good to go back. Thoughtful touches in the cottage and the new bike shed would be very helpful if you were on a cycling holiday. Just be aware there is nothing easily walkable as the lovely Woolpack pub is sadly currently closed. However the Fisherman’s haunt is only 5 mins in the car.

Lovely Holiday home in a quiet village

The stay and property as a whole were fantastic, its great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town, a car or vehicle is needed ideally, but even if you wish to walk Christchurch isnt so far away with all that is needed. Will stay again in the future and recommend it to others.

Ideal for short break

Small and cosy with a wood burner, compact property. Parking in a gravel drive off road. Ideal for touring the New Forest area and can return at the end of the day and walk across the road to a pretty decent pub if don’t want to self cater which kitchen is fine for.

Quiet rand comfortable

Surprisingly large inside. Clean, good kitchen and nice to be given some milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Only draw back is the patio that needs a good brush down but that is easily fixed. The lady next door gave us some fresh eggs from her chickens which was really nice.
