Very comfortable, great location, clean, well stocked and the host was extremely responsive.Absolutely beautiful house. We had an absolutely fabulous weekend.
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!
The property is beautiful inside and out. They had everything needed onsite and went above and beyond- i.e coal, firewood, laundry and dishwasher tablets included. Highly recommend the Italian Chef - food was incredible. Host and chefs were so welcoming, friendly and very helpful.
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.
We are just back from what has been an amazing weekend away. The property is beautiful and has a lovely, calm energy about it, with lovely walks into the country park. Thank you to Timo who was on hand to assist us and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay...nothing was too much trouble!!
The place is incredible. A full kitchen for cooking, a beautiful garden to relax in, and the hot tub and sauna are fab. Timo is fantastic and made the check-in experience perfect.Highly recommend.
A very well appointed property ideal for a family break with many different areas to chill and socialise.
We were met by the host who was very helpful and welcoming. A very good stay !
We picked this property as it seemed to offer something for all the family, we weren't disappointed, everyone enjoyed there stay, lovely house, facilities and surroundings.
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.
The property is set in fantastic grounds backing onto a woodland area perfect for walks and close to Moors Valley Country Park. We also had a great couple of meals from Luigi the local chef who cooked for us on 2 evenings.
We enjoyed a wonderful few days for our family celebration. Timo was there to welcome us and the property was beautifully furnished, well equipped and clean throughout. We especially loved the beautiful garden, the location with access to the forest and the spacious hot tub. Highly recommended.
We found this a great location for our 3 day cycling tour of the 2 forests (10 cycling with 2 back up cars)
We also used Luigi the resident chef on the Saturday night for our GALA dinner.

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.
