Hosts Monica and Steve are frequently commended for their friendliness and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel at home.

The comfort of the beds and the relaxing atmosphere are repeatedly praised. Guests mention sleeping well, enjoying the lounge area, and finding the property homely and relaxing. Only a single mention of flat pillows, but this did not significantly impact the overall comfort.
The property is described as well-equipped with modern amenities, a fantastic shower, and a private hot tub and garden area. A few guests note the hot tub is not available during certain hours and the welcome pack is minimal, but overall facilities are highly rated.

Entry door, baggage/coat stow and simple laundry area define the ground floor hallway, whilst all other living, eating, dining and sleeping facilities occupy the much larger upper floor. This recent conversion has everything you will need for your stay, with a spacious open plan living, kitchen, dining area and fantastic elevated views across 5 acres of paddock encompassing grazing sheep and sweeping countryside beyond. You can cosy up on the sofa together to watch a film or play a board game together. In the evenings just walk a short distance to enter your own romantically lit private spa garden with a hot tub to relax in and to gaze at the magnificent night sky.
The property is near to the beautiful town of Fordingbridge, a small riverside town known as the northern gateway to the New Forest, where there are a number of pubs that will be well worth a visit during your stay. There is so much to do nearby, you can visit the New Forest, a vast expanse of heathland and woodland area with free roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys. There is also Cranborne Chase which provides dramatic scenery and is home of the Bradbury Rings, an Iron Age hill fort. Both are Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can visit Kingston Lacy, a beautiful National Trust manor, or Moors Valley Country Park for an exciting day out with cycle hire, ‘Go Ape’ treetop climbing and a golf course.
The New Forest Waterpark will suit wakeboarding enthusiasts new and old or those simply wanting to try their hand at kayaking and paddle boarding. Blashford Lakes nature reserve is a beautiful area to walk around, or to spend time in a bird hide to see what you can spot - common terns, lapwings and oyster catchers are often seen here feeding on the lakes. Further afield you have Salisbury which is a medieval cathedral city, and if you head in the opposite direction you can visit Bournemouth with its award winning sandy beach. This is the perfect property for your romantic break away where you can walk together in the breath-taking countryside, explore some of the many days out nearby and relax in this stunning property. Beach 19.4 miles. Shop and pub 1½ miles, restaurant 2 miles.

We had a lovely time. The cottage is well presented, very clean and also comfortable. The hosts are lovely and approachable too. It is a little out of the village but we like a quiet country life; what better way to end the day than looking out of the open sliding windows, across the fields watching sheep graze? There are some good places to eat in the local village, especially the Raj and the George.

Lovely quiet airy apartment with beautiful views and super private garden. Biggest drawback is that hot tub is NOT working 4-7pm (due to cost of electricity). Yes worth taking gown for walk across to garden (pool towels provided), but pretty area for lounging. Note the adjacent pop up camp site no longer used. Steep narrow stairs are fine. Big bed comfortable, but very close to wall on one side. Only a few big mugs/glasses; kitchen has wash-up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc but welcome pack is minimal. Am sure owners would supply sugar if required ! They had added a useful fan for the heat, thank you.Walk to Fordingbridge (1.5 mile, 25 mins) via Ashford has pavement along main road; path across fields has some brambles (maybe take own clippers?).We enjoyed our break very much, Steve and Monica very hospitable.
