Situated on the edge of the New Forest the Potting Shed is located in the small village of Sopley, on the Dorset/Hampshire border near the south coast of England.
For those who enjoy the outdoors there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy walking and cycling in the New Forest or Avon Valley Footpath which runs through Sopley village. Also well suited for anglers wanting to fish in the two local rivers or the Mudeford Estuary. There are excellent nearby beaches including Bournemouth, Mudeford and Hengistbury Head.
Christchurch, Ringwood, Bournemouth and Salisbury are all close by and offer excellent days out for those wanting to enjoy time visiting historical buildings or shopping. Poole and its exceptional harbour, favoured by sailors is a short drive away and offers plenty to explore within the Purbeck peninsula and Jurassic Coast.

Just a little weekend away
We arrived at the Potting shed ready to start our mini break and we were not disappointed. We had some lovely welcome gifts. The property is situated near the woolpack (highly recommended) and the property had maps for walks we could do. It isn’t far from the beach by car either and we found the dog friendly part and had a lovely morning. We will be back!

The potting shed Sopley
The property was excellent for one person but, in particular, the bed was on the small side for more than one. The location was not brilliant being very close to a very busy minor road.

Great location and brilliant for cyclists!
We have just returned home from a 3 night stay at The Potting Shed. Communication with Laura from start to finish has been excellent. Nice set up with everything conveniently located on the ground floor. [We did not use the art room upstairs ]. Lots of cycling routes nearby and best of all, at least 3 pubs within walking distance. The Woolpack, just across the road was the best meal. Only a 10 minute drive to the beach and what a beach! Bigger garden than expected and nice to get the car off the road and make use of the excellent bike storage. Many thanks Sarah & Richard

The potting shed was nicely presented, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were friendly and responsive and the area is really nice too with a great pub and lots of country walks close by. Will book again next time we are in the area :)
