The quality of the furnishings, the extra little touches like fresh flowers, wine & chocolates, the generous room sizes & general layout of the home ensured a very comfortable & happy long weekend break for my family with 2 toddlers.
Very much appreciated

Wonderful family stay
We had 3 generations aged 1-75 staying at Moonwood house in November and it was excellent - a quiet, comfortable, clean, spacious house with all the required amenities particularly in the kitchen which is well equipped for large groups, and plenty of additional touches like books and toys for kids, games for adults and the hot tub pool was a hit and welcome on chilly afternoons. The location is close to beautiful Beaulieu which is walkable though along the main road without a footpath, we pretty much drove everywhere and can get to many great sites/walks within 15 mins. Wifi works well in most of the house, apart from didn't extend well into the kitchen and outhouse bedroom.

Ideal for a family get together
Photos do not do Moonwood House justice; it is light, bright and welcoming. Plenty of room for this multigenerational family to spread themselves, inside and out. The swim spa was great fun even in October and the wood burner in the sitting room provided a cosy atmosphere when it was chilly or wet outside. The kitchen was well equipped and the open plan design meant we could enjoy bantering with our chefs when we were in the dining room. Beds were very comfortable with a good proportion of elegant ensuites. The location is ideal for coastal or forest walks and you can run to Bucklers Hard from the house - plenty to keep 3 to 70 year olds happy!

Long weekend in September
Lovely house inside and out. The NFE team were very helpful throughout and we will definitely return. Only problem was the need to drive to the village as no proper footpaths

What a brilliant place to spend a week
Loved the swim spa, the kitchen is very well fitted and we loved the Quooker tap! I want one. Beds are so comfy. Can’t quite believe how many ponies we encountered on the road and in Beaulieu- it is as very busy road to walk to Beaulieu or The Royal Oak but we had a scout leader with us who found alternatives.

Family weekend
We enjoyed a multi generational long weekend at Moon Wood and had a wonderful time notwithstanding the weather. The house was warm and welcoming and had everything we needed. When we encountered a problem with the WiFi the team did their best to try and resolve the issue. Would we go again? Definitely.

Always read reviews it helps with the decision making.
The Swim Spa had a broken vent which we not informed about, and fearded we had caused the damage.
The threat of fines we found most intimidating, while we realise that there will be guests that abuse the grounds and some parts of the house, this is a busisness that makes money. Saying that the property was very well maintained and we had good contact with New Forest Escapes. We very much enjoyed our stay and do recommend this to others.

Weekend with Familly to celebrate our 50 th wedding anniversary.
Moonwood House is a perfect house and location for a familly get together, recommended to us by New Forest Escapes.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality house in good location in the New Forest. Everything you may need , including pizza oven and barbecue is provided. So well equipped with quality goods and equipment.
The spa pool is a great attraction, garden and house exactly as shown on details , all rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished.
Very few properties come up to expectations and are rarely as nice as shown , but Moonwood House exceeded our expectations in every way.
We highly recommend this property.

Perfect house in perfect setting
Moonhill House is beautiful. Well equipped and looks exactly like pictures. Everything looks very new and clearly of excellent quality. Kitchen is amazing family/entertaining space. Living room is elegant yet cosy, tv room perfect. Bbq and pizza oven a further dimension. Bedrooms are all very comfortable and en suites are modern and new. The gardens are a delight. Huge lawn, pretty flower beds and the swim spa great fun. Completely private and tranquil. Fully fenced. I would recommend to anyone. Cannot wait to return

An excellent property to visit with family or friends
I would highly recommend this property. From the moment we stepped inside we could see a lot of care, love and attention had gone into making this a truly enjoyable break for visitors. The decor and facilities were second to none. The bed linen, towels and kitchen equipment were of a good quality and clean. There was also the opportunity to use a BBQ. We visited it as a 3 generational family and it catered for everyone's needs. Toddlers were catered for with travel cots, toilet seats, high chairs and toys. We were kept fully informed by New Forest Escapes with all the necessary information to make our holiday relaxing and enjoyable, including recommendations for local places of interest. They were always at the end of the phone if we had an queries. When we arrived there were welcome treats and drink in the fridge with a well stocked larder. The garden and hot tub were an added bonus that kept the children and adults entertained. The owners should be proud of their achievements in offering such a beautiful property for others to enjoy.
