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.

A very enjoyable stay for a family get together

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.

Easter weekend

Such a fabulous property. The location is fabulous. So lovely to be able to walk straight into the woods. The only slight issue for us were the 3 twin bedded rooms. They are situated in the attic space, so very small with slanted roofs. Ideal for kids, but not adults.

Great outdoor spaces

Lovely host who was very helpful and friendly. The forte of this property is the number of great outside spaces to sit. Some shade, some sunny. And the garden gate opens onto the Forest where it’s a nice walk to Moors Valley Country Park which is great for kids but also nice for adults. Upstairs bedrooms not really suitable for little ones because of the steep stairs. Recommended.

Excellent property

We stayed at ‘The studio’ for my wife’s 70th birthday. There were 9 adult and 2 teenagers. There is so much space with lots of seating areas all around the grounds. The garden and patio are lovely. Great selection of bedrooms. Toilets and showers. My family made lots of use of the hot tub. Early April the weather was brilliant luckily. I would highly recommend the studio!
