We stayed overnight here and the rooms are clean,spacious and have baths big enough for two(trust me) The bar is friendly and cosy with a wide choice of food from burgers to fish... Breakfast is rather large and sets you up for a long walk into the forest. We paid £75.00 for one night b and b and it was well worth it,plenty of car parking space if you can get the pony's out the way!

A perenially fave this place. In the heart of the New Forest although not too far from the main…read moreroad out of Bournemouth. Lovely proper pub, lovely food, quite small inside but a big garden with lots of table and a children's play area. Highlights are the wild New Forest ponies that also like the big beer garden and that you can do some New Forest walks from here and leave your car in their carpark! The walks are of varying lengths and take you through forest, heath land, grassy mounds and all very peaceful and lovely. Place is teaming with wildlife. Just be careful not to get lost just as it's getting dark

We paid top wack for what my family and I expected to be a 4* cottage and we are experiencing way more luxury and cleanliness in our 3* hotel. Cheap fixtures and fittings. Not finished to a high standard. Showers are painful to use as spray is overly aggressive. Curtains and bed covers were dusty resulting in 2 of us needing to take anti-allergy meds. We were woken 3 out of 5 nights at 4am by owners walking around outside on gravel. Makes this cottage a 2.5* at best! Not impressed! Seriously does Visit England really rate this cottage 4*? Shame as it's spacious and has good potential to be a nice home from home.

I don't even know where to start with this review. I mean, we're talking about a spotlessly clean…read more5 star lovely self-catered cottage in a quiet corner of the country just outside of the New Forest. The cottage (we stayed in the Keeper's Cottage) included all the amentities you could want, such as comfy leather furniture, a dreamy superking comfy bed, good showers, and lovely original artwork by the owner in all of the rooms. Pretty, but not overdone at all. My partner was pleased that there were tv's and dvd players in all of the rooms and some DVD's were provided as well, along with games and loads of brochures offering ideas about what to do during our stay. Just as lovely as the inside, was the views from our personal gated patio. We looked over onto a quiet horse pasture which is known for featuring deer (though we didn't see any on our trip unfortunately). However, every morning when we woke up, a lovely dark brown rescue pony grazed just outside our bedroom window. Farm cats wandered by now and again, and fat curious chickens came for a visit every day as well. These were the same chickens who provided us with farm fresh eggs for breakfast. It was incredibly peaceful hearing the horses neighing across the field to one another or the owls hooting in the evenings. Just the sort of romantic get-away we had been craving. That being said, there's plenty of room in the cottage for groups too. However, if you opt to leave everyone else at home like we did, there is often a discount available for only using one of the two bathrooms and/or not using the extra bedroom. This isn't as central a location to the New Forest as lots of other cottage options, but you can't beat it for privacy and solitude. The owners seem like very kind people who seem to be up for a chat if we want one, but more than happy to leave us alone if we prefer it, which we respected. We loved that all the fixings for tea and/or coffee with yummy biscuits was waiting for us when we arrived. I can't say enough good things and we can't wait to go back again someday!
