About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Converted from a old dairy into a beautiful, quaint cottage in The New Forest.

This Old Dairy in The New Forest, Bramshaw, has been converted from a traditional working dairy into a beautiful self catering cottage on a quaint county farm. Ponies, donkeys, cattle, sheep and deer roam freely throughout the countryside all year.

Ideal for couples and small families to enjoy: horse riding, cycling, walking and the famous Peppa Pig World within a 10 minute drive. There are also lots of traditional English pubs to enjoy.

Inside there is bedroom/living area with TV, double and sofa bed, a very well equipped kitchen including crockery, cooking utensils, fridge/freezer, hob, oven and microwave and a shower room.

You'll also have your own private garden complete with swing seat, pub bench and barbecue overlooking the surrounding fields.

With lots of parking space, guests must walk (25m) from the driveway, across the courtyard to the private fenced area surrounding The Old Dairy.

Guests are welcome to interact with our animals which include emus, donkeys, sheep, horses, ducks and chickens providing children are under parental supervision at all times.

SPECIAL OFFERS AVAILABLE for weekly bookings please enquire for details.

The property is home to our pet dogs, chickens, ducks, sheep, geese, horses, donkeys, emus and farm cats, who are all very friendly and often entertaining!

Absolutely fantastic place!

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay then this is the place for you! It’s a very pretty location with a few divas next door (the sheep!) they love a rich tea biscuit and will make sure you remember them!! I had a fabulous time exploring the new forest and this was in the perfect location to come back and relax in…loved it

Beautiful rural location

Myself, my partner and my daughter have had the most wonderful week staying at this property. We couldn't recommend it more to anybody who would like to enjoy farmyard scenery. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed spending time with all of the animals onsite and Andrea is extremely welcoming. It has been a truly wonderful week and we cannot wait to do it all again next year during summer time. 5 stars all round! Thank you for such a wonderful week

Lovely weekend break :)

Stayed for 3 nights just for a short break in feb, sadly it happened to be the weekend storm Dennis hit so couldn't do the walkin we would have liked to. Very lovely cosy little cottage very clean and looked recently done up. Was lovely to close the curtains and forget about the weather outside :) had a lovely dinner on valentines day in the green dragon pub just down the road. It was lovely waking up to the sound of the cockeral crowing and donkeys shouting for there breakfast. Looking out ova the fields and seeing the emus right by the window was lovely. Would definitely come back again 👍🏻

Need to make changes

Need to update things. Cooker needs to be changed, pretty old and unclean. Microwave glass plate does not fit, so does not rotate, also was not clean inside. Mugs were dirty and needed washing. Glasses were not clean. My husband dropped his watch under the bed! Don’t think under the bed had been cleaned in years!! Lots of debris!! No mirror apart from in the bathroom. The owner had about five dogs, so this meant lots of dog muck on driveway! So overall, would not rent again.

Perfect get away

The location is wonderful, right in the New Forest with many great walks. Some very nice local pubs which did great food. Charming accommodation and entertaining neighbours (donkeys..pony... emus... sheep.. dogs... chicken.. among many others), we look forward to a return visit!

Tranquil

We very much enjoyed our long weekend at The Old Dairy. Being able to watch donkies, emus, sheep, ducks, a pony, horses and cats from the comfort of the kitchen and living area was a real treat. The weather was dreadful (late November) but the property was cosy and well located for getting to NT properties and the odd short walk before the rain set in again. It was lovely briefly meeting Andrea and Ian - many thanks for a memorable stay.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time at the Dairy Barn. Andrea and her husband were wonderful hosts and the accomodation suited us perfectly. The animals are an excellent bonus - especially the dogs (who are very much missed by our two boys) The location is brilliant for exploring the New Forest. Bramshaw has a friendly little village store, which is in walking distance and stocks all the essentials. We also tried out both the local pubs which are just a little walk further on - both lovely! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Delights of the Dairy!

My friend and I had a delightful 4 day stay in a cottage, (once a dairy) separate from the main house. It had 2 large beds (one sofa bed) and a small well equipped kitchen and roomy shower. Outside were an array of animals: dogs, donkeys, emus, sheep (including 3 black ones!) and chickens. They all provided great entertainment! Andrea was a charming hostess, happy to talk and very communicative, without being overpowering. We came and went as we pleased and I would definitely stay there again. Thoroughly recommended!
