"The six mums from Wiltshire loved every minute of their stay."
The owners had thought of everything we could possibly need, never been anywhere so well equipped. The cottage is in the most beautiful position and we were so lucky to have sunny days. Watching the birds on the bird table was a treat, I’ve never seen a greater spotted woodpecker that close.
Thank you for a lovely review Anna. We love guests to love our house, as we do! Property Owner

"Primrose Spinney is a lovely excellently equipped house in stunning countryside."
We loved being able to go out of the gate straight into the National Park where we saw deer and ponies and heard cuckoos and owls. There was so many personal touches that made it feel homely such as the homemade cake, local eggs, bird watching book by the window overlooking the garden and the photos of families who previously lived in the house. It was the perfect place to stay for our party of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog.
Thank you very much Caroline. I'm glad the cuckoos and owls were in good voice for you and that you found the Spinney homely. That is exactly our aim! Property Owner

"Primrose Spinney is a gorgeous house in beautiful surroundings with a gate straight out into the New Forest."
The house itself was perfect for our party of 6 adults, 2 older children and 2 dogs, loads of room and definitely the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen in a holiday stay. Thanks to Alison for great communication and a lovely welcome pack which we all enjoyed. We had everything we needed and the dogs felt very welcome too! The warm hose for them outside was a huge help especially as we didn’t get great weather. A great place to chill out and catch up with friends, felt like home from home. Would love to stay again.
I'm really pleased you had a good time Esther despite the weather! We'd love you to stay again. Property Owner

The house is very comfortable with lovely furnishings and everything you need for a fantastic holiday.
Thank you Tracey, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves and thank you for the lovely review! Property Owner

"Wonderful property, comfortable, fully equipped with everything that you may need at your stay."
Beautiful forest walks right from the doorstep. The house itself is warm, rooms are comfortable, fittings beautiful, has this feeling of being at home. We absolutely loved our stay, we came from all over the country for a reunion and we hope to come back some time for a longer stay. Thank you Alison for great communication and warm welcome with a basket of goodies. Would recommend this property to anyone who wishes to get away from the city rush and just relax.
I am delighted that Primrose Spinney was the venue for such a lovely occasion and a big thank you Samanta for your heartwarming feedback. I'm so glad you all had a good time. Property Owner

"Wow, Primrose Spinney has everything."
This is the best property we have stayed in. Spacious, well equipped, beautiful gardens and an ideal location with walks straight out the gate. I don’t think we walked the same route all week. The 2 border collies loved the warm shower hose what a great idea! Great communication from Alison with us being able to arrive earlier than expected. The Prosecco, cake, milk and snacks were enjoyed by all so thoughtful. We cannot rate this property highly enough, we will definitely book again for a family reunion x
Thank you Carol for your lovely review and for leaving everything so clean and tidy. You were wonderful guests and we'd love to see you back! Property Owner

The property
Ringwood 3.1 miles.
Reached via a gravel track through the trees and settled in a secluded two-acre plot, surrounded by direct access to the quiet western fringes of the New Forest National Park near Ringwood, Hampshire, is this homely, and thoughtfully furnished four-bedroom detached holiday home, Primrose Spinney.
With ample off-road parking, a spacious sitting room with woodburning stove, a second small sitting room and a well-equipped kitchen, Primrose Spinney is a haven of peace and privacy, welcoming 8 guests and two well behaved dogs to bask in the ultimate escape to the South of England.
Cross the threshold into your new abode, kicking back on the plush sofas in the sitting room in front of the roaring woodburning stove as you click on the Smart TV; allow the designated chef to rustle up a tasty dish in the well-stocked kitchen before settling down in the formal dining room and toasting to a fantastic getaway over a bottle of fizz.
If you prefer to dine alfresco, why not step out into the enclosed garden and relish mealtimes amongst your stunning surroundings; the garden is home to a wide variety of birds who constantly visit the feeders on the lawn which guests are encouraged to keep topped up from the bins in the porch.
Bird and plant identification books and a pair of binoculars are kept on the small table by the dining room window, a great spot for bird watching.
When the evening draws to a close choose from one of four immaculate bedrooms including a king-size with wash basin, a double with washbasin, a family room with king-size and single beds and a twin, all offering stunning views into the wildlife friendly garden - and not another house in sight.
Enjoy heading onto Rockford Common from the back gate where you are bound to come across the local New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys who roam freely throughout the year, with foraging pigs round the local lanes in the autumn and from time-to-time deer wandering past outside the fence.
Walk or cycle for miles without ever needing to go on a main road.
If you can tear yourself away, kickstart your itinerary at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve where you can spend the day birdwatching or traversing the magnificent landscape.
Close by you can also find the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary, Furzey Gardens and Moors Valley Country Park and Forest, ideal for nature and animal lovers.
Travel to Bournemouth for a chance to enjoy Bournemouth Parks, Oceanarium, Bournemouth Pier and Bournemouth Beach, perfect for relaxing along the sandy shores or for a taste of city life, venture to Southampton, host to Solent Sky Museum, SeaCity Museum and Southampton City Art Gallery, in addition to a wealth of pubs, restaurants, bars and cafés where you can delight in dinner and drinks.
If you enjoy history the mediaeval city of Salisbury is a short journey away, its stunning cathedral with Britain’s tallest spire, the world’s oldest mechanical clock and the best-preserved original 1215 Magna Carta.
Approximately half an hour north of Salisbury is the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge; a visit offers something for all the family.
However you fill your days in Hampshire, do it from the homely base of Primrose Spinney.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
