    Location situated close to Christchurch and just in the New Forest is great. The room was lovely and a nice size, spacious bathroom too. Both were clean and the door codes were a good system.

    Staff couldn't be more accommodating. When we went for breakfast they had dog bowl of water. Biscuits and little mat for them . Little touches means a lot. Also I forgot to take butter as we were staying in cottage so I popped over to restaurant...
  • Kate

    The beds in the cottage were super comfortable and it was lovely to have a kitchen and the extra space for a family of 4 adults. We loved the restaurant and thought the food was excellent. The staff there really looked after our large family.
