It is a delightful holiday cottage that provides the best of old world charm combined with modern convenience, offering spacious accomodation with character and style.

This pretty 17th century thatched cottage is furnished to a high standard with 2 living rooms and plenty of comfortable seating.

It is our family holiday home. We also have lots of things young children require including toys which reduces what you need to bring. We also have a well equipped kitchen so cooking at the cottage is easy and we also have need a bean to cup coffee machine. There is a dinning table which seats six and two high chairs.

The garden is large and fully enclosed with two seating areas and a gas BBQ.

Located just north of Lyndhurst we are just 5 mins drive from Paultons Park, the home of Peppa Pig world and a 25 min drive (at the right time of day) from the beach at Mudeford. Obviously there are also all the activites of The Forest itself including walks, cycle paths and pubs.

Lovely, cosy home.
I stayed with my friend, her daughter and my two children for three nights. Right from the moment we arrived we were all delighted with this old thatched cottage with its low beams and barn-like door! The extension at the back makes it open and airy and the garden is simply beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped and the extra shower and separate toilet are great if you're a bigger group. The shower pressure is strong and the beds are comfy. And there's a pub within walking distance. We loved our stay here in the heart of the New Forest, thank you!

Period cottage easily accessible for long distance travellers
The cottage lives up to its period look with various features such as low beamed ceilings and a quirky layout. The modern kitchen with conservatory and family area was lovely and bright, and the garden a delight to sit in for our morning coffee. One main bathroom & a utility room containing a shower room was fine, but the 2nd toilet was as far from the bedrooms as it could possibly be, tucked away downstairs accessible via a storeroom. We are 5 female friends in our 50s and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with cosy evenings at home accompanied by hearty homemade food and a glass or 3 of good wine.

Pre-Christmas break
This property was perfect for a short getaway. There was plenty of space for us (5 adults and one baby) and we loved the cosy living room. The house was really clean and had everything we needed, and was a great location for nearby Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst. Everything about the stay was very straightforward - we would definitely use again.

Fabulous cottage, close to everything!
We loved this house. Perfect if you have children. Games, garden, highchairs, cots, potty, bed guards, toys... all available. The house is comfortable and well maintained with everything you need. The garden is great with some nice seating areas snd space for a mini game of football. The house is a short drive to new forest walks and lots of other attractions / days out. Oh, and there is a great playground less than 5 mins walk away. Cant recommended enough. Hope to come back.

Perfect for Poulton park
Lovely stay. Short distance from Poulton park/peppa pig world. Super comfy beds and sheets very fresh. Possibly the softest towels I’ve experienced. There was a bit of a smoky smell from the downstairs shower room on arrival but other than that no problems. Everything you need for staying with babies and toddlers.l they have thought of everything from childrens cuttlery to toys/books.

weekend family stay
Characterful house with layout that worked well for two adult couples (grandparents and parents) and two young children and our dog. Most of the floor area is in a rear extension to the small original old thatched cottage. Beds and bedding (particularly in front bedroom in old part) more travelodge and basic than the quality expected of a property costing this much. Cleaning was hit and miss - mostly ok, but found dirty nappies left in bathroom bin and the cooker grill was full of fat and smoked badly when first used. Overall ok, but not up to the standard needed for the high price charged for this weekend.

Lovely half term stay!
Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. Check in was smooth via a neighbour of the property. House was well equipped for a short stay and perfectly situated to explore all the local villages of the new forest. Kitchen had everything you need for self catering, bedrooms and bathroom all very clean and comfortable. The house has a cosy front room with comfortable sofas and another comfortable living area next to the kitchen / dining area if you’re being more social with a larger group/family. House also has a good sized garden (fully enclosed) which we didn’t use due to time of year but would be great in the summer. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect in every way
Do not hesitate to book this beautiful house - it’s huge and has the most amazing garden which all ages can enjoy . The inside of the house is spacious and perfectly equipped for a family holiday and we found everything we needed . The two living areas were great - my favourite being what we called ‘the pink sofa room ‘ - it’s so homely and the Christmas tree was a lovely surprise . We visited Peppa Pig world and it was under ten minutes to get there so a perfect location and much nicer than a hotel room . I highly recommend this property.
