"Primrose Spinney provided 3 generations of our family with the most comfortable house in the country that anyone could wish for!"

The inside and outside spaces are truly very beautiful, and when you do go somewhere it is very central to the Forest and beaches. Many thanks, and hopefully see you next year, Mark

Thank you Mark! I'm so pleased the Spinney was your chosen venue for such a lovely multi-generational get together and I hope you took away some happy memories. It goes without saying that we'd love to see you again next year. Alison Property Owner

"Primrose spinney was everything we expected."

From the warm welcome from Alison the lovely apple cake to start our week. Wonderful walks in the forest on the doorstep and the abundance of wildlife, birds at the feeders all of the time, on the days weather allowed us to sit outside it was wonderful, but on the wet days comfy inside. The cottage well equipped and very comfortable

I'm so pleased you all enjoyed your stay Jaqui despite the rather soggy weather you had some days. Thank you for your feedback and the coconuts for the birds which they are enjoying. I'm very pleased Treacle and Luna had a good time too! Property Owner

"Excellent holiday cottage."

Welcoming, clean, comfortable, children and dog friendly. We really enjoyed our week at Primrose Spinney, the facilities are excellent and the owner goes the extra mile to welcome you. The children and dogs loved playing in the garden and exploring the New Forest from the door. We definitely hope to return.

"Property was very clean and welcoming, it had everything we needed and more."

The gardens were perfect for an energetic 4 year old to run around and was safe. Ideally situated a step away from the common and with easy access to all areas of interest. It’s a great cottage for a family break and would highly recommend.

"Primrose Spinney was an amazing holiday home suitable for a large family."

We were looking for accommodation that was secluded within the New Forest but not to far away from all the attractions and Primrose Spinney met all these expectations. The house had all the amenities you needed. The rooms were spacious comfortable and clean A really peaceful relaxing environment in a natural setting ideal to see a huge range of birds, deer and horses. A wonderful holiday and we hope to return

"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

"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

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.
