Cosy and unique location

We had a superb and unforgettable stay in the authentic but modern utilized house. Helpfull and friendly owners. Funny, friendly sheepdogs and cats visiting us near the house. The sheep with lambs slept at night against the wall. We loved it.

A Wonderful Week at Acorns, Pyesmead Farm

This converted barn is perfect for a couple! It is very well equipped and the location is lovely. The pool is gorgeous! There are so many things to do in the area, a week just isn't long enough! We went to a music festival, Stone Henge, a local auction, Salisbury Cathedral, the beach and many lovely pubs. Thank you Hampshire!

Absolutely amazing

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Set on a lovely family farm in plaitford, across the road from the new forest. The location was perfect for us. Tina and everybody working on the farm were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble! We had a problem with the lock on the door but it was fixed very quickly! There are cats and dogs on the farm who are so so friendly and absolutely love attention, and Doug the sheepdog took us on some lovely walks across the farm and over to the lake! The property was spotless and well equipped, including some gorgeous local made hand soap! The pool was lovely, just the right temperature and with an easy booking system so you had the whole pool to yourself for an hour. We will 100% be back to visit again!

Acorns

Warm, clean, comfortable, especially the bed. Creaky bathroom door at times when closing. Easy chairs a little low for us older people.

Great location

Very comfortable accommodation in an ideal location, very close to the New Forest with numerous attractions. The barn was very clean and had everything we needed. The indoor pool was superb and due to Covid had a booking system so you could book an hour slot each day and have the pool to yourself, which was fantastic. Had a wonderful week .

Comfy country cottage

On a working farm with enthusiastic friendly dogs, sheep outside the kitchen window and an indoor swimming pool. We had a very relaxing break.

Handy for seeing the area. Walk in the New Forest across the road.

Cosy retreat, relax outside watching the world go by, or the farm animals

Very cosy and well appointed. Spotlessly clean on arrival

This property is very well situated with many places worth visiting within easy reach. My only negative comment relates to the lane leading to the cottage. It is full of deep potholes and requires careful navigation. However, we were more than pleased with our stay and intend to return.

Beautiful barns and a lovely setting

This is the third time we’ve stayed on Pybus farm and I can’t recommend it enough. The barns are beautiful and have everything you need. There are lots of animals on the farm - cows, sheep, cats, dogs that kept my children entertained as well as an indoor pool which helped on rainy days. It’s also well located with lots of things to do pretty close by. We will definitely stay again.

Fabulous little barn, everything you could need, perfect for a couple, highly recommend.

Delightful little barn in a great location for exploring the New Forest and beyond. The barn is finished to a very high standard & has everything you could need including a mini dishwasher & a very comfy bed. Highly recommend the barn & area for a lovely quiet getaway.
