Lovely cottage full of character, fully fenced garden so ideal for dogs. Only issue was that the only toilet is downstairs so night time visits are interesting. We would highly recommend.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
This was our fourth stay at Ames Cottage. Reviews about location, large garden etc. hold but we feel the quality and cleanliness of the accommodation has worsened and needs addressing. Our stay was not helped by the presence of a stray cat in the garden. It took Hinton Escapes 2 working days to resolve the problem.

Our favourite place in the New Forest
This cottage gives us everything we need for a holiday in this area. It’s quiet and peaceful with the occasional deer at the bottom of the garden. The enclosed large garden is perfect for our two dogs. The interior is well designed and very clean and tidy. My one wish is that it had a dishwasher but that wouldn’t stop me coming back which we definitely will be. Love it !

Super little cottage on the edge of the New Forest
The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a short break in the New Forest. The Colin Nash restaurant was a short walk away with delicious food and staff were very welcoming. We also had a lovely meal at The Rising Sun, a short drive away. There was storage for our bikes. The garden was fully enclosed and our dog was more than happy exploring. The only niggle was the noise of the fridge - an annoying beeping sound, you could hear sitting in the lounge.
