  My friend and I stayed at LC for a few days. We came by train and both the cottage and Brockenhurst were ideal for us. Small Tesco and Coop round the corner. Plenty of bars, cafes, hotels and restaurants on the doorstep too, although we didn’t eat out as we enjoyed the beautifully equipped house so much we ate in the garden for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As everyone has said nothing was too much trouble for the host, Avery, who made the stay super easy with all her advice and information at the property. We walked around each day we stayed and found a different route each time to enjoy just from the front door. Trains are very regular and the bus service was punctual when we used these for a little adventure a bit further afield. Both my friend and I are very nit picky about the cleanliness of places we stay and neither of us could find fault!!! I’m also very envious of the new doors in the house… ‘Mr Avery’ is quite the handyman and has done a lovely job in the house prior to it coming onto the self catering market! And yes I did photograph your doors as I’m in the process of updating my house and will be using those as a standard to be expected!!! Well done both a fabulous property you have made into an ideal home from home stay for your guests to enjoy.

  The Bothy is a lovely cottage - just the right size for a couple.

  It's got a little private garden with table and chairs and most windows overlook fields (my husband saw deer grazing there one morning!). The landlord and landlady were very kind and provided us with more firewood to heat the wood stove in the living room than we could have ever wished for. It was amazing how warm the rooms got when the stove was in full swing! In terms of kitchen utensils, the only things that might have been nice to have would have been a cafetière and a garlic press. But these are minor details; everything else was absolutely fine. The location was ideal too - easy to get to anywhere in the New Forest. Some good heathland and woodland walks were just a few miles away from the cottage. Also there were at least 3 pubs not too far away (The Hobler, the Red Lion and the Filly Inn). I wouldn't recommend walking even to the nearest one - The Hobler - as the road is quite busy and there are no pavements. But it was excellent to have the choice of different establishments for dinners when one doesn't want to travel too far. And there is a Waitrose a few miles further down the road on the northern outskirts of Lymington - very convenient. We had a brilliant time and will highly likely return to this cottage!

  This lovely cottage in the heart of the New Forrest is conveniently situated to access all the attractions and was our home away from home. It is clean and well-furnished and has everything one would need for an enjoyable stay. The beds, in particular, were very comfortable, and we all slept well after a day out exploring. There is a well-kept garden with outside seating should you wish to unwind after the numerous local walks/cycle routes you can take. There was excellent communication from the cottage owner before and during our stay. They live locally and were available should you require assistance or advice about things to do and places to go. It's round the corner from the local co-op store, bakery, and pharmacy. Some restaurants nearby also - Esme's Tea Rooms serves huge lunch portions and lovely cakes and scones. The railway station is also a short walk away, and there is a cycle rental store next to the station where you can rent cycles for the day (or longer). We had a fantastic time staying here and were delighted to have found this cottage. I highly recommend it, and we will be booking here again during our next visit.

  Pond View is a nice holiday cottage situated in a lovely landscape within a very attractive part of Hampshire.

  One point to raise is the heating arrangements.The first weekend was exceptionally cold for the time of year.The bedroom was kept warm by keeping the heating on and the door closed.However,with only one small heater situated by the front door and a very high roof area it was not possible to heat the main lounge and kitchen area.We sat on Friday night wearing jumpers.Saturday,we went into Salisbury and brought a portable electric fire so we could stay warm for the rest of the week.The only other problem,which only lasted until Monday and is no fault of the owners,was children being allowed to run around the properties shouting until 10.30-11O'clock at night.Rhese two small problems should not detract from the advantages of spending a holiday at West Park Farm.

  We had a lovely stay at The Bothy having stayed there many times previously.

  It was a lovely surprise that there was a new fridge with an ice box and this made things a lot easier, especially helpful in the summer when ice blocks are handy to take food out for the day. Also I didn't realise there was a dishwasher, I did check the details prior to travelling and this wasn't noted. I feel this is a very useful item and should be added to description. Our only criticism is the bed, we had hoped it was better but in fact it is worse. It definitely needs replacing and my husband had to revert to the settee for a couple of nights! Bill and Valerie are lovely hosts and made us very welcome, with Bill lighting the fire everyday and we love the cosiness of the cottage. If the bed was changed we would have given 5⭐ all round!
