Fabulous!

Exceeded all expectations. The property had everything you needed and a lot more. Lots of little extras, including a lovely welcome pack. The hosts greeted us when we arrived, explained how everything worked and gave us advice about the local area. We only spent three nights there but felt like it was Home. Highly recommend, and definitely hope to return!

What a hidden gem

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and well appointed lodge. It is a perfect base for exploring the area. Graham and Theresa were the best hosts, making us (and our 2 dogs) feel most welcome. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a lovely, comfortable place to stay with a great pub/restaurant on your doorstep and in a location ideal for exploring the New Forest.

Super short stay

The Lodge has a great walk across a heath approx 10 mins walk with a dog. There is the Royal Oak just next door if you fancy a drink and a bite to eat, the forest horses and donkeys are always visiting. The Lodge itself just right for 2 with a very secure garden for yiour dog, beautifully furnished and very clean. Graham and Teresa are wonderful people, very friendly, helpful and leave a lovely welcome pack. We spent 3 nights, this was our second stay and definitly will be back.

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and they had many nice touches in the house. It was very dog friendly with an enclosed garden and they provided treats and toys. We would definitely stay here again.
