“Lovely peaceful setting.”

Very accommodating owners

Very accommodating owners Photos do not do the accommodation justice. Much more room than we expected
Mr Smith September 2019

“The cottage provided us with everything we needed and our stay was perfect.”

We enjoyed the rural setting and its close proximity to the New Forest, which made travelling easy. The village pub is very welcoming and serves very good food. All-in-all the perfect cottage to holiday with very helpful owners on the farm.
Mr Reeve August 2019

“Brilliant cottage at a great price and the owners are really pleasant and helpful.”

The location is quiet, peaceful and not far from the south coast. Sleeps six easily. Highly recommended.
Mrs Williams July 2019

“Beautiful place and wonderful stay just what we were after.”

waking up to cows grazing every morning was definetly a bouns i wouldn't think twice about returning..our 2 year old loved it and had the best holiday and our 1 year old was very well catered for i cannot recommend the old cart shed enough.

“A beautiful barn conversion.”

The only disappointment was the lack of internet access, as we could never get reception.
Mrs Boorman September 2018

“The Barn is located in a wonderfully isolated working farm and it was a pleasure to stay here and see the work that goes on.”

The woodland walks are fabulous and we discovered some very pleasant places to have good vegetarian food. We found The New Forest Ponies, which were so quiet and looked very content. We did travel to the big Cities and Towns close by, but were more interested in the calm of the smaller villages and hamlets, which have not been spoilt.
Mrs Parkar September 2018

“A wonderful place to stay.”

We had a very nice time. The owner kindly secured the gate for us as our little puppy could get under it! Any minor issues resolved quickly. The only real issue for us was having to pick up a lot of dog poo from the small grass area, some of which was not at all recent. Clearly left by less responsible previous guests so perhaps owners might want to check in future. The accommodation was very clean and most suitable for guests with dogs. We visited Stonehenge (not very dog friendly), Salisbury and Exbury Gardens (very dog friendly). Check opening times for Roman Villa as closed when we went but advertised as being open.
Mr Bland June 2018

“Clean and quiet location.”

Good for access to the New Forest.
Mr Lyne-pirkis May 2018

“We had a brilliant time.”

The owners, Ed' and Fiona' were warm hearted, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile if necessary. The Old cart shed has been extremely well converted; the shower in the main bedroom was amazing, the family bathroom closeby very well appointed and the general ambience of the whole conversion both tasteful and hard wearing. We had a fantastic family holiday and would happily return there again. And the Forest was wonderful...SOOO many ponies!
Mrs Hughes March 2018

“Great space and facilities even catering for my baby with highchair and travel cot.”

Really enjoyed out stay and would recommend. My daughter loved being able to watch all the sheep and ducks out the window.
