Barn Cottage is small but excellently equipped with quality facilities. We appreciated the Tassimo coffee machine and Dualit toaster. There is also a log burner, although we didn’t need it during our visit as the heating and hot water were more than plentiful. It is ideally suited to anyone who has mobility issues. Being all on one level, with two double bedrooms, both with ensuite wet rooms. We especially liked the personal touches of daffodils and chocolate eggs left for an Easter break. It is ideally located for visiting the New Forest and we would definitely book again if travelling down that way.

Beautiful barn

Fabulous stay, gorgeous barn, great location, very cosy would highly recommend. One small thing the bedrooms could do with having blinds as it’s very light in there especially if you’ve got young children

Disliked: Location

Pleasant cottage - bad weather!

Directions to property using sat nav were good . Found easily. Owner met us on arrival and provided the key. Very disappointed that there was no welcome pack as provided in our last properties we hzve visited in the New Forest . Some loose T Bags, sugar and a few coffee pods provided. Would however have liked and expected more . Perhaps milk, bread or cake and perhaps even a bottle of wine ! ( As have experienced many times before) The Location more remote than thought and really on the wrong side of the main road for immediate access to the Forest. Not walkable. The property itself was clean and nicely furnished though pillows very flimsy and uncomfortable. The log burner was a bonus on one chilly evening! Wet room was ok but the shower was very unpredictable with both temp and pressure sometimes difficult to achieve easily. No fault of the owner - we had bad weather for much of our stay. A sports and social club is quite close and we did have some noise which though not too intrusive we would have preferred not to hear . In summary, pleasant accommodation but for us, a few issues. There are many more properties to choose from in the New Forest.

Thank you for your review. We certainly have not had these comments made before and we are sorry you found these issues. The location of the cottage is quite clear, it’s rural and peaceful but not at all remote and as it was the weekend of the Coronation a little noise in the distance would not be a surprise.

Barn residence

It was very well stocked in all areas and was so peaceful and comfortable. The scenery and location was stunning. We had 2 meals at Churchill Arms which were delicious. We visited the heavy horses which was near by and on our last day went to Monkey World too.

Excellent place from which to explore the area

We had a lovely holiday. The cottage was ideal for our party, in a peaceful area ideally situated for exploring the New Forest and the coastline. The cottage was very clean and well equipped - they’d thought of everything. The grounds were very well tended. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and obviously work hard keeping the site in tip top condition - it’s a credit to them. We hope to return and would highly recommend.

Let loose after lockdown

A lovely private, quiet, idylic setting with everything provided. Fantastic standards of hygiene, cleanliness and quality of towels and linen. Pretty courtyard space with chimeneer to keep you warm when the sunsets, with ample supply of logs. Ideal position for all other New Forest attractions. Returning relaxed and refreshed. Would definately return and absolutely recommend.

Wonderful cottage with everything you need. Lovely owner who even left us cakes and wine. What a treat. Thank you. The only problem was that we couldn’t stay longer. Would highly recommend booking. Great location for exploring the New Forest. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
