Lovely house in excellent position in middle of Forest. Children thoroughly enjoyed their holiday in streams of New Forest and in waves at Highcliffe beach. House has ample bathrooms which allowed everyone to shower quickly on return from beach. Kitchen is small but efficient to work in with ample utensils.

Great location and sized property with all the equipment and facilities needed for a self catering holiday. Weather was so good we did not need to use the provided games, dvds or books but would be gratefully received had it been more inclement.

I arrived Sunday late afternoon & met a friend, we explored the property and found it just as advertised. We also found an unexpected bottle of wine and two packs of biscuits plus a vase of flowers. Other friends arrived on the Monday. There were six of us staying one was ill, the bed allocation was fine for 6/7 single men, the kitchen was well kitted out for all manner of meals. All of us agreed that it was a first class holiday let.There was one breakage, a heavy glass fell against the teapot while in the drying rack and broke the handle.

The detailed information before we arrived was particularly helpful and the prompt response to requests and information. The property was very well equipped which was great because as there was a baby in the party we did cook and stay in quite a bit. We also appreciated how well it was equipped for children of all ages and this enhanced our stay.

The property is ideally situated just outside of Brockenhurst. As an extended family of 10 we required a property with plenty of space and Gorse Cottage was ideal.We would have no hesitation in returning to the property in future years.

Perfect property for 9 of us adults on a cycling holiday. Heatwave weather so bikes could be left in the garden although there was room for bikes in the conservatory/diner and at one end of the lounge, and for x2 in the shed. Very clean, bright, spacious property. Good sized bedrooms mostly although the small x2 single bed room has little storage space. No upstairs bathroom. Washing line was missing, apparently had snapped, but we managed fine. Washing powder, dishwasher tabs provided and lovely welcome gift for which we were grateful. Large fridge/freezer, well equipped kitchen, range cooker, coffee machine pods. Superb outdoor seating area, pretty garden, not overlooked. Quiet, excellent location, superb cycling straight from front door every day. Enough driveway parking for x3 cars and x1 just outside gate. We'd love to come again, suited us very well indeed.

Beautiful property right in the forest

Our second visit and as good as the last! Spotlessly clean with welcome gifts to greet us. Beautiful enclosed garden with patio furniture. Bright and airy interior, comfortable bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. Ground floor bedroom helps those with mobility issues. Dining area large enough to seat 10 comfortably. The property is a credit to the host.

A great property in the new forest and a very welcome family break

This lovely and very well equipped property had everything we needed as a grown up family. The location is perfect, inside the new forest where walks we abundant. We were even greeted at the gate by a mother horse and foal on one of the days. We would definitely recommend. There are so many places to visit including Brockenhurst itself. The property includes parking for at least 3 cars behind the main gate. Highly recommended.

Lovely holiday

Had a wonderful holiday here, beautiful cottage, garden very secure for my dog which I’m grateful for. Nice and quiet and loved the horses looking over the gate! So sweet! Loved all the bathrooms, never an argument about whose turns next! lol. Well stocked kitchen, all the cutlery and plates and bowls you’d need. Ample room on driveway, could fit 4 cars on if needed we took 3 between us, large family! We had a wonderful holiday.

Birthday Celebration

We especially loved the location- quiet and right in the forest- wonderful walks right outside the door. The house was comfortable and warm. We really enjoyed the lovely conservatory- especially when it rained. I was worried that the railway line passed quite close but we were never aware of any noise. The kitchen was brilliantly equipped- everything we needed to hand. The beds were warm and comfortable and we made use of all the en suites. Our dogs were safe in the dog proof garden. All in all a very good choice for our family holiday.

Golden wedding celebration

Everything is good but the mattresses need renewing. Great welcome pack. A few more dishwasher ‘tablets’ would be useful as only the brand the owners use is suitable for the machine. Label the bins - so that no one accidentally uses the recycling bin as a rubbish bin. Lovely setting and good accommodation apart from the mattresses.
