Hampshire trip

Nice cottage in a quiet location situated in the grounds of the host's property. Good location for exploring Hampshire and New Forest. Able to take our dog off walking in the woods from the back garden. Lovely farm shops nearby.

A Lovely Country Cottage - perfect place to chill

A ideal retreat to escape the stress of the modern world. Peter was a wonderful host, he allowed us to bring our dogs along & advised us about walks in the locality. He was available if needed, but otherwise you had complete privacy.

A Hidden Slice of Paradise

A true paradise. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting about 1.5 hours from London, this property felt like stepping into another world—quiet, lush, and full of life. The greenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the surrounding forest teems with wildlife. Every second we spent here was pure joy. Our old dog, who usually prefers to nap most of the day, suddenly came to life—running freely through the woods with a spark we hadn’t seen in years. Peter, the host, was incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. If you're looking for a tranquil escape into nature, this is the spot. We’re already dreaming about coming back.
