DAIRY COTTAGE. Delightful luxury rustic cottage nr New Forest and South Coast.



  • Welcome to Dairy Cottage, a luxury refurbished cosy one bedroom cottage that has been converted fom an old dairy, sleeping 2 plus small child. This lovely cottage is equipped to a high standard, oozing charm and comfort and offering a wood burner for the winter months. An ideal romantic retreat in the countryside with easy access to forest walks, beautiful beaches and quaint local towns and villages. If dates not available please see our other properties listed - Barn cottage, Shepherd’s Hut and Shepherd’s Retreat. Discounts apply for 7 night bookings. Please enquire for prices for 5 or 6 nights as we are unable to show discounts on this website.

    From the entrance porch, which has a log and boot store, a door takes you to the hallway with one step taking you up to a wooden floored open plan kitchen/diner/living room with full sized cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, ample kitchen units, television dvd and log burner.

    Also leading from the hallway is a door leading to a generous sized light bedroom with a lovely hand painted kingsize bed and ensuite shower room plus a walk in wardrobe. We can also add a cot if required or a small futon to sleep a child. Also provided is a television/dvd, ipod dock, wifi and quality linen and towels. Also washing machine available.

    Outside is a delightful patio area for dining al fresco or enjoying the views over neighbouring farmland, including a chiminea for the cooler evenings.

    From the cottage you can cycle or walk a short distance into the forestry tracks. We have plenty of storage for your bikes. If you wish to bring your boat to take to the coast we can also store this securely. Pets are allowed providing they do not go into the bedroom or on the furniture.

    At the bottom of the road we have the local shop/post office and village pub.

    Situated on the edge of the New Forest, located on the boundary of Dorset and Hampshire, close to the River Avon. Ideally situated to explore Ringwood Forest, on our doorstep, and a short drive can take you to the New Forest National Park, Moors Valley Country Park, the local quaint town of Fordingbridge, delightful Wimborne Minster or the local market town of Ringwood. All offering excellent pubs/restaurants and coffee houses. Bournemouth coast's spectactular beaches are an easy 25 minute drive, the Jurassic coast within easy reach and the ancient city of Salisbury with its beautiful cathedral is well worth a visit.

    This is a perfect romantic hideaway, just 2 hours from London, easily accessible and ideal for a country break. Prices are based on 2 adults, if you have a little one then it is £10 and £10 for a dog. Please contact us for short break quotes.

Great location, very clean and tidy house. Perfect for a couple.

Great location for exploring the New Forest. Heather and Denis were lovely; friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. The cottage felt far enough away from the main property to feel nicely independent and was spotless inside. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful, spacious and ideally located

I initially came to the property by myself in order to work on a deadline, and then my partner came to join me for the last couple of nights. As a work location, I found it peaceful and it had good WiFi with a great Tassimo coffee machine as well as cafetiere, and a dining table big enough for my laptop and to spread my papers out with a nice view out of the windows. As a place to relax, the cottage is clean, comfortable and cosy. It is spacious and has lots of storage space, so would be ideal for stays longer than a week too. It also has a lovely log burner. The location is good. I did a few short walks around the local area, walking out directly from the property, and saw wildlife including birds of prey, deer, donkeys, horses and sheep. When my partner arrived, we travelled further afield by car. It is very close by (10-15 mins drive) to Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve and Moors Valley Country Park and Forest, with other New Forest locations not too far further afield, and Bournemouth just 25 minutes drive away if you fancy a change of scenery. Ideal - would definitely return!
