Such a beautiful place to stay. The surrounding is quite incredible. Well worth the money you pay for it and really clean. Trazie was a great host and really helped us out when the Highways Agency closed the road which stopped us from parking outside. 10/10 would recommend and stay again!

This place is a little gem! Gorgeous little annexe. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom (with a bath!) and upstairs lounge/diner and kitchen. It was very clean and had everything you could need. Also had some very thoughtful touches for the dogs. Stunning views over the New Forest. Great walks straight from your doorstep and lots to do nearby. Lovely pub a few mins walk away. Felt very welcomed by the owner, Trazie who left us notes and a few essentials for our arrival. Trazie is always on hand if you have any questions. It’s situated a short drive from many gorgeous places in the new forest, and also not far in the car from Winchester and Salisbury. We will definitely be going back here. Highly recommended.
