Reviews
We had a fantastic family weekend in the New Forest with this wonderful substantially sized cottage as our base. We have only good things to say - its warm, especially because it has an AGA, everything functions beautifully, it was very clean and tidy and had books and board games for adults and kids. The location is ideal with access to plenty of walks and fantastic pubs. We will be back!!
