Great property, well presented, lovely location but limited food store’s locally. Owner was great and helped us out with charging motobility scooter as was unable to get into the accommodation.
We loved our stay at one of the cottages at Midgham Farm. The cottage was very spacious with two lovely bedrooms overlooking the inner walled garden. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms spacious, clean and renovated to a high standard. We enjoyed a weekend exploring the New Forest and cycling around the area.

I was absolutely blown away with how gorgeous this property is.
I was absolutely blown away with how gorgeous this property is. The photos don't do it Justice in the size and preparedness of this cottage. It's located in a beautiful area, on a farm. It's dog friendly with a lot of easy walks nearby and directly from your front door. Our dog met a bunch of gorgeous horses who were very inquisitive and came to say hello every morning when we passed. The gardens and environment is absolutely perfect for a long weekend with your pet. I'm quite a cook, and found the facilities including the equipment very useful, but only appropriate for two people. The bed is very firm, just to be aware if that's your preference. The shower is potentially the best shower I've experienced in a holiday cottage ever. It's extremely quiet, and the interior of the cottage is very very warm. Rules and direction within the cottage with us very clear and simple. We found everything was considered and thought of, with very little interactions with the Host. We would absolutely come back again as often as we could.
