The host was very communicative , the directions to the place were very precise and helpful. Everything was as described and welcoming. It was very clean and cosy . We would love to stay again. Although very close to the owners main house it doesn't feel intrusive . It is in a perfect position to enjoy the New Forest.

We had an amazing time the property was in an excellent location. Everything you needed was there especially in the kitchen. Although it was a very old cottage with lots of character it was spotless clean, warm and comfortable. We felt there were some outstanding qualities like views , patio doors to garden from bedroom that wasn't mentioned on booking. Which was a pity. We loved our stay and would recommend the cottage to our friends who love to visit the new forest. Sandra

A Hidden Gem

Just back from a lovely weekend exploring the New Forest by bike and the cottage was the perfect base. A little difficult to find in the dark, but once discovered it offers everything you need for a weekend stay. A well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and a warming gas fired stove. Our party of 4 adults had a most enjoyable time.

In need of some TLC

A wonderful location, and a very helpful owner, but the property needs some renovation and refurbishment if we were to use it again.
Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 13 June 2025
The living room has just been decorated. New French doors have been fitted in last six-months. A new sofa is budgeted for next month. Some minor issues such as filling a crack in the kitchen wall and repainting are on the list for when we next have a gap in visits. Renewal and refurbishment is a constant process in this 100 year old property which reaches a high overall standard and passes its yearly inspection by Holiday Cottages.

Quaint cottage, well equipped. very comfy beds. Owner was very helpful and on hand if required. The cottage isn't easily accessible if you have a very large car as drive to cottage is very narrow. There is a cattle grid at the entrance which was a little tricky walking out with the dog. Great location for everything plus fairly local pubs

Quiet Cottage in the New Forest

There don't seem to be that many small properties to rent outside of the main villages and towns so if you want to feel a little more in the forest this is perfect. Heath's, woods and Hatchet Pond are all walkable from your door in a few minutes. The house is cosy with a lovely living room and well appointed to kitchen. The hosts were lovely and even left us some wine and chocolates. Recommended.

The cottage is clean and well equipped . It took a while to get it to be cosy as the heating was complicated and in my opinion difficult to follow . Not all the electric sockets worked . It would have been helpful to have had a separate sheet of paper explaining where to find the gas heater’s controls and how to operate them ( it took me half an hour to find them on a cold wet Friday )

Boundary Cottage

This cottage has the potential to be really lovely! It’s in a brilliant position, is cosy within and very well equipped. However before the season really gets going it could do with a thorough spring clean inside and out. Also the drive and turning area are too tight for anything but a small family car and this could be easily rectified.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 10 May 2021
The annual spring clean is under way. The changeover team has to allocate special sessions for this - it can't be done in one go. Other tenants comment on the high standard of cleaning and presentation but this is not to say that deep cleaning eg in cupboards has to be done - and is done. Turning space in the drive is 'not easily rectified'. The description of the cottage makes it clear that one car is OK, two a squeeze. Nothing is being hidden from prospective tenants and most tenants are completely relaxed about it having taken note before booking that the drive is small..

Positives - Andrew was very welcoming. The cottage is in a lovely location direct access to the New forest. Everything you need in the kitchen and lounge to make your stay comfortable, you can see the owners have taken care to make this a very cosy stay. Beds were very comfortable.Downside - Getting down to the cottage parking was quite upsetting as the hedge had enough depth to be cut back further, but the first time we went down the little entrance the hedging put a nasty scratch on our our car. Sorry Andrew but my husband had to snap the offending bits off. Will definitely be revisiting if after our comment we would be welcome.

Post lockdown stay

Great communication with owners who promptly switched our stay following 2nd lockdown announcement, and throughout the process kept us informed about out stay. Contact less check in which was nice and easy. Cottage in the heart of the New Forest which is an idyllic setting for a nice relaxing time and a great location for the start of walks. Cottage itself was so homely and has all of the things you would need for a stay cation. We had a really enjoyable time, and our little dog loved it too. Thank you so much.

Great location, lovely cottage

Instructions were great and easy to find considering the remoteness of the property. The cottage itself is lovely, charming in fact with really easy access to the New Forrest on foot or by car. The only reason I mark it down a bit is it could do with some TLC and a good dusting. Otherwise it’s a perfect place for a short stay. Nice job.

There are one or two minor maintenance items which we have highlighted on a notice in the cottage. They are on the list for attention when we can find a gap between lets. All properties have a few minor items needing attention and this is no exception. It is the overall standard that matters. As the ground floor was entirely repainted in January the place presents as fresh and clean. I don't think it needed dusting because I oversaw the changeover team but if they missed one or two areas, that's regrettable. Most guests remark on the high standards we work hard to maintain.

A comfortable little cottage!

My husband and I stayed in this lovely little cottage whilst visiting our daughter and her family. The cottage is in a very quite country location in the heart of the beautiful New Forest. Andrew, the owner ensured we had a comfortable stay with a friendly greeting and welcome basket in the form of a bottle of wine, chocolates and some scrumptious jam. Even though the temperature was quite chilly, the cottage offed a wealth of heaters and a gas fire to keep us warm. The central heating within the cottage is not accessible until November. We had a comfortable pleasant stay and I’m sure we will be back again. Thank you 😊

Much appreciated Julie, thank you. Only comment is the central heating is generally not necessary and not used unless it is unusually cold. This because we are on mains gas and the bottle s run down very fast.

Matthew thank you for such a nice review. I am afraid the spiders get back to work as soon as the cleaners remove them at changeover! And yes, some door replacement and maintenance is on the maintenance list.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Duncan

Host profile image
I have owned Boundary House and Boundary House Cottage since 1988. However, I have had a much longer association with the Beaulieu neighbourhood because my grandparents came here in the 1930s. I am married with two sons in their 30s. I live in London during the week where I run my publishing business, Duncan Petersen Publishing.

Why they chose this property

Apart from the family connection it's an area of great variety, combining the sea with country pursuits.


What makes this property unique

The sea - Beaulieu River with its sailing are close by. It's peaceful and secluded, yet convenient for Lymington, 15 minutes by car.
