Saw lots of ponies and the autumn scenery of the New Forest was beautiful. Weather was also kind to us. Would certainly recommend. ##### Marion W. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara S. 11 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hübsches Haus mit netter Gastgeberin Dieses hübsche Ferienhaus liegt eingangs des Dorfs Horton und bietet einen weiten Rundum-Blick ins Grüne. Direkt an den Garten angrenzend weidet eine kleine Schafsherde, es gibt Hühner und einen Hund. Bei unserer Ankunft stand ein leckerer Kuchen und ein Blumenstrauß auf dem Tisch für uns bereit, Tee und Milch waren ebenfalls im Vorrat. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und zugleich zurückhaltend. Von Horton aus lassen sich viele Sehenswürdigkeiten wie z. B. Stonehenge, Salisbury, aber natürlich auch die schöne Küste in kurzer Zeit erreichen. Wir haben unsere Urlaubswoche sehr genossen und können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen. ##### Barbara S.

Location was great for getting around the lovely county of Dorset and there are shops not too far away so you can get your groceries easily. Lovely cake left by the owner kept us going all week.

What a sweet little cottage. The owners are absolutely lovely, they were thoughtful and generous in providing a cake to welcome us. The house was once, we think, an annex to the main house. It's very basic, but has everything you could need. We were very comfortable here for a long weekend as two adults and two children (aged 5 and 7) and our dog! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fleur de Lys Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimborne-Hotels-The-Fleur-De-Lys-Inn.h23290851.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury villa for 22 people with pool, jacuzzi, large garden and private pub!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimborne-Hotels-Luxury-Villa-For-22-People-With-Pool.h24126039.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [11 Bedroom Country House in the beautiful Dorset countryside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimborne-Hotels-11-Bedroom-Country-House-In-The-Beautiful-Dorset-Countryside.h51915806.Hotel-Information)
