Picture perfect in a great location on the edge of the forest. We had a lot of space even for our family of 5 and 2 friends. It was very well appointed with everything we needed. The welcome gifts and fresh eggs were a lovely touch. ##### Cara T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah M. 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent New Forest stay The property was very well located with easy access to all the main New Forest attractions. The house was clean and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. The welcome gifts of wine and fresh eggs were a lovely touch! We’d have appreciated hairdryers in the bedrooms and a dustpan and brush for the kitchen floor, but those were minor points. The garden was peaceful and secure for small children, but a bit small for older ones to run around in. The visiting chicken and dog were very entertaining, but we didn’t see the peacock! Overall, we had an excellent stay and would recommend the property for a stay in the New Forest with family or friends. ##### Hannah M.
