“Superb accommodation.”

For the size of the property it had everything that we needed. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly and we were made to feel completely at home throughout our stay. The cottage is located in fantastic surroundings and has been extremely well furnished and equipped. The pond is extremely picturesque (keep a camera handy as the kingfisher might show it's face) An excellent base for exploring the New Forest.

For the size of the property it had everything that we needed. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly and we were made to feel completely at home throughout our stay. The cottage is located in fantastic surroundings and has been extremely well furnished and equipped. The pond is extremely picturesque (keep a camera handy as the kingfisher might show it's face) An excellent base for exploring the New Forest. There are excellent walks around the farm and a host of wildlife to see. We really couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing holiday. Everything about our stay, even including the COVID precautions, was perfect and completely exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back. Vaughan and Sue.

Nice and peaceful.

“We were really pleased with the accommodation, we realised it was going to be compact but it met our expecations.”

The owners made us feel welcome and quickly sorted a little problem we had with the wifi connection. We loved the view of the pond from our door and the peaceful countryside setting. We hope to be able to come back again!

“This is hard to evaluate as we booked this for dates in May to coincide with a reunion event in nearby Verwood.”

Then came the virus and lockdown, the reunion event was obviously cancelled but this was not an option on this cottage without losing our full payment so we had to change our dates (for which we were charged extra). So a cottage which would have been perfect in May when we didn’t expect to spend much time in it was less comfortable in mid October. That is not a criticism of the cottage which was nice and set in a delightful location but it is a criticism of Sykes and their policy of not allowing a cancellation with a full refund. I’m sure that we had been choosing a cottage for October, we would have chosen something a little bigger and more comfortable. Sadly, we have the same problem with a cottage originally booked for July this year. Because of the extended lockdown in Scotland we had to move this to next July! Again, at extra cost to ourselves. No cancellation was offered. Our emails weren't even answered. We have been loyal customers over a number of years and stayed in a number of cottages but will not be booking a cottage holiday again.

“A warm welcome and delightful stay once again, our little ‘hut’ is perfect for us for a weekend with the dogs.”

As always a fantastic field available for the dogs to have some really good runs in a safe environment. Can’t wait to come again next year.

“Petite but perfectly formed, that is how I would describe The Little Granary, with its very own parking space.”

The property, location and owners were wonderful. Due to Covid-19 we took more advantage of the self catering side of the property than we normally would have, and it was brilliant. Whether we used the dining facilities in the Little Granary, or chose to sit by the lake on the picnic benches just outside, the experience was magical. So quiet and private, it was a great break away and yet access to such things as a Co-Op, Tesco Express or a petrol station are just a short drive away in Fordingbridge of around ten minutes. A variety of walks on the doorstep, a Roman Villa a few fields away and conveniently placed for trips to Salisbury, Stonehenge, the south coast and much more. Can't wait to go back.

“Perfect - exactly as expected on a very pretty, quiet and private setting.”

On a farm but felt comfortable walking the dog around without feeling we were intruding. Helpful, pleasant owners. Could do with a little more hanging space for coats and things but other than that, we loved it, have already recommended to our friends and would go back as we feel very rested, thank you :-)

“Had a great stay at the little granary cottage.”

Perfect for a couple. Located well for the New Forest and a couple of national trust properties. Owners were on-site and were friendly and helpful.

The property

West Park Farm, in the very pretty, historic village of Rockbourne is part of a working beef and arable farm.

You are welcome to explore here - there is a large pond, bluebell wood and occasionally you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks.

There is also a hard tennis court which guests can enjoy, but please bring your own racquets.

What was once a small granary has been converted into an attractive, detached studio.

Small but perfectly formed, much thought has been given to providing everything you'll need without cluttering the compact space.

The high raftered ceiling makes the living area feel spacious and the neat kitchen area has a two-ring halogen hob and a multi-function microwave, adequate for preparing simple meals.

With pleasant views overlooking neighbouring fields and a natural pond, The Little Granary is an ideal retreat.

About the location

FORDINGBRIDGE

Salisbury 11 miles; Bournemouth 18 miles.

Fordingbridge is a traditional Hampshire town on the banks of the River Avon, and offers a good mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, a small museum of local history and a display of original work by the artist Augustus John, who lived here for many years. The medieval Great Bridge, with seven graceful arches, is a major feature of the town. The immediate area is a wonderful place for visitors, with its beautiful scenery, nature havens, cycleways and welcoming people. Fordingbridge is conveniently situated for the magnificent cathedral city of Salisbury to the north, and the super seaside resort of Bournemouth to the south. The stunning New Forest National Park is only 1.5 miles from the town, where you can explore thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland frequented by wild ponies, and dotted with quaint villages and country pubs. Within a short drive is the magnificent Elizabethan manor house at Breamore, as well as the New Forest Water Park, and a trip to Beaulieu, home of the National Motor Museum is not to be missed. This is a great location for exploring this picturesque and interesting area.
