Perfect New Forest Getaway
We had a truly lovely time at Foresters Cottage. A minor hiccup with the booking was quickly resolved by Jessica, and communication was very good. The house was spotless and very well equipped, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The photos on the website don't do the property justice.We would definitely stay again.
