About this property

Wonderful Willow Cottage

This bright, airy cottage positioned on a quiet road offers easy access to both forest and beach.

The house has 4 double bedrooms (one with ensuite) and has been thoughtfully and tastefully dressed throughout with John lewis furniture and French connection sofas for your complete comfort and relaxation.

Suitable for families/gatherings and romantic getaways.

Fluffy 200 Egyptian thread count towels/nespresso coffee machine/open fire place await.

Enjoy an alfresco breakfast of hot croissants stuffed with butter and sweet cherry jam, pack backpacks with picnic treats, and head out for the day to explore the New Forest with its 140 cycling and walking trails.

Willow cottage, Luxury Holiday Cottage New Forest is hidden on the southern edge of the New Forest and makes for a cozy time away in the countryside, with comfort and luxury touches at its heart and lots of outside space for children to run.

Bi folding doors lead onto a decking area suited for alfresco dining and BBQs. The large garden overlooks shetland ponies and provide a wonderful outdoor space for children to run.

Enjoy life on a slower cadence to that of city living, moving only as fast as the lavender sways in the evening breeze.

In summer months enjoy barefoot walking to the furthest edge of the garden to say a sweet hello to the ponies, whilst enjoying a glass of ice-cold Rose.

In winter months cozy up in front of the log burner cup of steaming hot chocolate and enjoy wintry Country walks and fresh beach walks

A lovely house in a good location for exploring the New Forest, and the communication from the hosts was excellent throughout. The garden turned out not to be enclosed, so not as child-friendly as we thought it would be. The back door mat was also incredibly slippery on the hard floor - again, not so good for children! There were also a number of basic maintenance issues that if kept on top of would have improved the feel of the stay.However, overall, a lovely stay!

Wonderful stay in idyllic location!

Brilliant stay! The house is large enough for nine people and has a huge garden. It has all modern finishes and everything you could want for a friend or family vacation. The location does require a car, but it's an easy drive to the local beaches and activities.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the space, the garden, and all the modern touches. It's great to know the house worked well for your vacation. We agree a car makes exploring the nearby beaches and attractions much easier, and we're glad you found it convenient. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Wonderful stay in Willow Cottage

The property was everything we hoped for. Beautifully clean and well equipped with everything you would need. The house is in a lovely lovely location close to some beautiful villages in the forest and not far from lovely beaches. Some delicious brownies left for us on arrival which was a really nice touch. We would definitely love to visit Willow Cottage again.

Lovely stay at Willow Cottage

We had a good stay at Willow Cottage. Location ideal for getting to the new forest towns however wished there were more nearby forest walks. The cottage was lovely and garden a huge plus for the kids. Could be more child friendly as the lounge rug was slippy, a radiator box unscrewed to wall. But we were happy with the amenities overall. check in and check out no issues.

Thanks so much for staying, we are so glad you enjoyed the place we agree it is in the ideal location. The garden being the ideal place for children to run as you’ve mentioned. The lounge rug we’ve never had this raised as an issue by multiple familiars over the year but will get an anti slip under it. The rad box was screwed on prior to your check in it seems a little person might of thought it was a climbing frame! 😄 anyway would be lovely to have you back again warmest

Great, spacious bungalow

This was the perfect place for two families to meet up. You can’t walk anywhere from the house but there are loads of places to visit with a short drive. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms spacious and the house is very up together. The garden is perfect for kids running around but I get the sense that the neighbours have had a hard time with noise in the past - this is not the place for late nights and loud music. Not an issue for us at all.

Shirt break

The bungalow was very nice , however our stay was marred on the first night of two by a smoke alarm Going off incessantly at 3.00. Am.until eventually with the permission of the manager we had to break it. As it was firmly fixed to the quite high ceiling, this was not easy and involved my 70 year old husband standing on a chair .Our young granddaughter who has Downs Syndrome was very frightened by the noise and by the time we had contacted someone we were all very tired and did not enjoy the next day as much as we should have done

Still owed money !

Such a shame that I have to leave a bad review. The cottage was fine and it was in a good location. We had a lovely time in the New Forest . However, I was overcharged and one month later I am still waiting to be reimbursed . I have called and emailed numerous times and have not had a response . So disappointed .

Hi Priya thanks for your message it's such a shame that you felt the need to leave a 2-star review over this (and our only 2 star review to date) which has nothing to do with the cottage and experience. For the sake of clarity your original messages went to spam, as soon as you left a voice message our team located the emails in junk and immediately paid the £165.00. In fact this has already been paid to you prior to this review date and time. On top of that we had planned to pay a £50 goodwill gesture on top of that today. We wish you the best but are disappointed in how you have portrayed this. Such shame. Also for the sake of other guests, the overcharge happened due to the many changes Priya kept making to her booking, (making two bookings/ changing the dates /wanting to add a date etc.) So this was a genuine oversight due to the confusion of the many changes.
