We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The house has a friendly feeling and the accommodation was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Fordingbridge is well located for exploring both the New Forest and the coast. The cottage has the added advantage of being in walking distance of the shops. We appreciated the fact that there was allocated parking for two cars.

Our 6th stay at Bert's as this cottage is just perfect for all our needs. Dog friendly, off road parking for 2 cars, easy walking distance into Fordingbridge with it's shops, cafe's, pubs & take aways. You are only a few minutes drive away from New Forest and about 35 mins to the South Coast. Bert's is spacious so ideal for families especially with the secure garden.Great communication with the owner. We will definately be back again later in the year.

Berts offers everything you need for a holiday cottage in the New Forest.
Berts offers everything you need for a holiday cottage in the New Forest. This is our 7th visit to Berts as the location is perfect for the amenities close by and for walking in the New Forest. Safe parking, secure garden, perfect for families. Berts is very dog friendly. We have brought our lab here since she was a pup. Berts is a spacious family house with everything you need. It's warm & cosy if staying out of season. Communication is always great with the owner prior to your visit. We can definately recommend Berts.

Lovely home and close to all amenities, this is what my daughter told me.
Lovely home and close to all amenities, this is what my daughter told me. My daughter, son-in-law and grandson went on the holiday.
My husband and I should have gone too, unfortunately we couldn't due to the Covid-19 regulations that two households couldn't meet. These were the regulations put in place by our local council.
The owner of the property very kindly phoned us at home to pass on relevant information. The only other comment from my daughter was the property was a bit damp.

Cottage very clean and we all felt safe, especially in the current climate.
Cottage very clean and we all felt safe, especially in the current climate. Some of the equipment does need updating and checking for damage (eg number of chipped glasses + only 3 wine glasses) but overall good. Fordingbridge is a lovely town and it was easy to access the forest for both cycling and walking but is on the very edge of the forest.
