We loved the cosy warmth of the wood burner on arrival. The open plan sitting & dining area was spacious enough to easily accommodate our party of 14 plus dogs. The hot tub was a big success as was having such easy access to the forest. A great weekend!

Lovely property with some great outdoor space. The hot tub was fantastic. Very good communication with the owners, and our group had a super weekend. The one negative was the close proximity of the house to a busy main road, which is mostly blocked out with the windows and doors closed. All in all though highly recommended.

The property was lovely and spacious with lots of outdoor seating in the interesting gardens. The nearby management promptly dealt with our minor questions. My only minor criticism is that the main road (a31) is nearby and can be busy.The nearby woods are great for largely flat walks. Might take bikes next time.

A very enjoyable stay for a family get together

We especially loved the extensive garden with seating areas for all hours of the day and easy access to the forest. Inside, the property is very well equipped and general areas are spacious, but we felt the bedrooms were rather small, particularly the attic bedrooms which are only really suitable for children with no bathroom upstairs. We visited Beaulieu one day and Brownsea island the next, both within easy driving distance and thoroughly enjoyed both days. Ringwood is convenient for restaurants, take aways and shopping too.

Easter weekend

Such a fabulous property. The location is fabulous. So lovely to be able to walk straight into the woods. The only slight issue for us were the 3 twin bedded rooms. They are situated in the attic space, so very small with slanted roofs. Ideal for kids, but not adults.

About the host

Hosted by Timo Gleed

Host profile image
The Art Studio is one of 5 rental properties managed by our family -- a small holiday rental business which has been running for 40 years. Steven and Susanna own the Art Studio and Steven's son, Timo, manages the days to day activities with the help of his sister, Elina. Timo will be your host and look after you during your stay. An Italian Chef Luigi, a close family friend, is available for Italian dining experience also!

Why they chose this property

The property is conveniently located outside of Ringwood on the edge of the New Forest and with quick access to beaches of Bournemouth. The property was built in 1905 as an Art Studio for my Great Grandmother who was an accomplished painter. The Art Studio's main living room was designed with roof high north facing windows which maximise natural light, which now provides beautiful views to the gardens and forest. Six generations of our family have lived in this family home, and has now been remodelled and refurnished as a holiday rental. The house layout is spacious and ideal for large family groups who love cooking and indoor / outdoor dining.
The house backs on to the Horton Road, which although gives some traffic noise, ensures very good access to Ringwood and Bournemouth, which is literally 12 mins drive from your front door!

What makes this property unique

The property is on the edge of the Dorset/Hampshire border, backing on to Ringwood Forest, the western edge of the New Forest and is only 10 mins drive to the beaches of Bournemouth. The property is large and a blend of the modern & traditional, with ample indoor and outdoor dining possibilities, equipped with a modern kitchen (2021), modern bathrooms, and large tables ideal for family dining and get-togethers. The property has two log burning fire stoves giving you that cosy 'cottagey' experience in the winter months. We also have a WW2 Army Bunker on the edge of the Forest which we have converted into a modern Finnish Sauna & plunge pool, and is available for booking.
