Very lovely place to stay, very good meadow looking over the New Forest, which our dog absolutely loved.Positioned very well to check out many lovely walks, would also recommend a couple of nice places to eat if you like Burgers The Railway is excellent and if you like game then the New Forest Inn is excellent, Fay was also a very nice host. Not that we need any thing from her. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful well equipped cottage. Spotlessly clean. Only recommendation a bigger bed would complete a perfect accommodation. Definitely recommend. Near to countryside yet not far from the coast. Lots to see and do locally.
