Walnut Tree Cottage is a delightful, detached thatched cottage within the owner’s lawned grounds and lies opposite the owner’s home, which is steeped in history and which, in the 1830s, included a wheelwrights, post office and bakery.

This is a convenient location set just back from the main road leading from Salisbury (9 miles) or Ringwood (5 miles).

Clean & comfortable.
Clean & comfortable. Minor items missing in kitchen if cooking for yourself eg: vegetable peeler & small sharp knife; dishes suitable for microwave. Car needed to drive to walks & bicycle routes but we knew that. Enjoyable stay & would return. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Our hosts made us welcome by email and when we arrived, social distancing.
Our hosts made us welcome by email and when we arrived, social distancing. We really loved being at walnut. We had never stayed at a thatched cottage before and it was a very pleasant experience. We also enjoyed watching the wildlife in our host's garden through the window, early mornings. The area was very quiet and it was very easy to get to the shops and coastal areas such as Bournmouth. We would recommend this cottage to any one wanting a short or longer stay. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The cottage and it’s owners are lovely.
The cottage and it’s owners are lovely. It’s well equipped for anything you could need, lots of hot water and a very comfy 5’ bed. It’s quiet, homely, compact but not too small. The only negative it’s the location. It’s on a main road. You can’t walk anywhere, you need to take the car everywhere. In spite of this I would still recommend this property. It’s convenient for anywhere in that part of the country. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
