This pretty thatched holiday cottage nestles in a secluded location on the edge of the New Forest, with lovely views over field and woodland from the verandah.

Leuk huisje
Mooi en verzorgd huisje … mooie tuin met lekkere stoelen. Het ligt wel aan een drukke (gevaarlijke) weg.
Communicatie vooraf kan beter. De reviews op VRBO kloppen niet helemaal…
Very pretty cottage and garden, in a great location for local attractions.

Fantastic getaway. A perfect home from home. Ideal for getting away from the rest of the world (no phone signal helps even more, but good WiFi for when you need it). So many little touches that make this a amazing get-away

A lovely cottage in a secluded area so very quiet( apart from some road noise at times) struggled a bit with a slippy staircase. The cottage had all you would wish for to have a comfortable stay and the initial gifts were a great surprise. Would recommend.

Overall the cottage was very cosy and reasonably well equipped - but could have done with some tin foil and cling film - the open plan was not conducive to a good nights sleep if your partner snores - but the relaxer chairs were very comfortable - shame there are no pubs within walking distance.

Good holiday,
Made very welcome, enjoyed the wildlife in the garden.
The only downfall was the poor wi fi and phone signal.
Excellent accommodation and every attention to detail with regard to our comfort.A good selection of books,games,DVD’s and even a piano for our entertainment on rainy days.A good base for exploring the New Forest and a lovely secluded garden for lazy days with plenty of bird life to observe.The cottage is 5 minutes drive to a couple of pubs with good food but would have preferred them to have been in walking distance.We were given a warm welcome by the owner and provided with a range of supplies such as milk,tea,coffee,biscuits etc.All in all a good restful break in a lovely cottage which would have been made perfect by being within walking distance to a pub or village.
