What a hidden gem

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and well appointed lodge. It is a perfect base for exploring the area. Graham and Theresa were the best hosts, making us (and our 2 dogs) feel most welcome. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a lovely, comfortable place to stay with a great pub/restaurant on your doorstep and in a location ideal for exploring the New Forest.

Dog friendly New Forest Cottage

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and they had many nice touches in the house. It was very dog friendly with an enclosed garden and they provided treats and toys. We would definitely stay here again.

Forest break

Lovelly lodge, far enough from house to be private, close enough if if help needed. Pub next door,great food and staff.dogs welcomed and treated like people. Ponies and donkeys all around deer nearby, relaxing and peaceful. Dog catered for by owners,treats,blankets,walk maps,all greatly appreciated. Only issue for me was the bed, but then thats a personal thing i guess.

The poperty was very clean and stylish with lots of extra little touches added to make it feel special. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and even brought us an Anniversary gift which was very thoughtful. Lots of wildlife on the doorstep including the lovely New Forest ponies and deer in the field behind the cottage. We loved our stay.

Perfect!

Our second time staying and it won’t be the last. Gorgeous lodge with absolutely everything you could need. Our hosts Teresa and Graham couldn’t do enough for us and several times went above and beyond. Idyllic location, with a fabulous pub next door, ponies everywhere, cows now and then and deer visiting the back garden. Our dog went mad when he realised where he was and dragged me all the way to the garden gate!

Beautiful well equipped lodge

Fantastic location to explore the New Forest and coast. This very well equipped lodge is nice and private with its own good sized secure garden to be enjoyed by all including the dog. The excellent hosts have thought of everything you might need and also provided some lovely extras for our anniversary and to settle us in. Graham was on hand for advice and checked if everything was ok, but without ever intruding on our privacy, prefect. This is truly a little haven providing everything you need for a relaxing break. Thank you!

Fabulous

We stayed here over Christmas and what a fabulous time we had. Jennie had put a Christmas tree up And lights and it's was very comfy and homely. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here especially if they have dogs. It's very safe for them they cannot get out at all in the garden. A lovely Christmas spent here for 8 days. We ate in some lovely restaurant and walked for many miles around the new forest. Amazing lodge to stay in so Thankyou jennie x

Amazing stay

The property is clean, well equipped and in first class condition.Our hosts had catered for every need. We honestly couldn't fault anything. Our host met us at the door and showed us round. They had made up a welcome hamper and because it was our Golden Wedding anniversary,they had left a helium balloon,bubbly in a cooler,chocolates and much more. They went out of their way to make our stay a great one. We got useful travel tips from Graham and used his directions to good effect. The area is very pleasant. As we left,Graham gave us a travel bag with water,snacks and even catered for our dog. Honestly they couldn't have done more for us and we thank them for a magical stay.

Home away from home

Bit of an experience as I’d fractured my shoulder so couldn’t take my car. I did however have 2 dogs and my cat with me. Graham and Theresa were so brilliant, kind and helpful. The place was immaculate and some lovely welcome bits. The garden was brilliant the animals absolutely loved it.I’d definitely use it again (with my car). It was gorgeous weather so a very relaxed few days chilling in the garden.

Fantastic few nights

The lodge is in a lovely area just on the edge of the new forest. It was great to see the new forest horses wondering around with their foals just outside the property. The lodge it’s self is a nice size for a couple and a dog and has a fair range of utensils ect . It was very clean, light and modern. Graham was extremely friendly and helpful, even came out in the pouring rain to give us a small leaving pack. Unfortunately the pub next door is closed Mondays and Tuesdays at the moment so we only got to sample their great food one night, definitely the best food out of the three pubs we eat in. There’s so many places to go on walks either from the lodge or a short drive away. If your a couple with or without a dog and like walking you will not be disappointed with this property. Thank you so much Graham, we will definitely be back.

Super short stay

The Lodge has a great walk across a heath approx 10 mins walk with a dog. There is the Royal Oak just next door if you fancy a drink and a bite to eat, the forest horses and donkeys are always visiting. The Lodge itself just right for 2 with a very secure garden for yiour dog, beautifully furnished and very clean. Graham and Teresa are wonderful people, very friendly, helpful and leave a lovely welcome pack. We spent 3 nights, this was our second stay and definitly will be back.
