Shirley and John have such a beautiful home. We had a lovely couple of days. We were made to feel at home from the moment we stepped through the door. Will recommend to friends. Many thanks! ☺️

The house is very central in Lyndhurst. The room is clean, bright and comfortable. For us as a couple the room was perfect. Shirley is very nice and provided even a lovely breakfast in the morning. Thank you Shirley for everything!

Britta and Ian were very attentive hosts. We felt in her garden house very well. Just wonderful for a trip to the New Forest to lie in bed and watch over through the glass window in the roof the night sky. Also the breakfast in the conservatory was great and delicious. Thank you very much! Lydia and Dieter

We had a lovely couple of days in the New Forest and Ian & Britta's cabin was perfect for our needs. The location was brilliant and the sauna was an added bonus! We really appreciated the recommendations for walks and places to visit and for being able to bring our dog to stay with us. The breakfast was delicious and huge! Danke | Dziękujemy | Thank you Debbie and Norbert (and Amiga!)

Amazing accommodation in New Forest in little cosy cottage with the roof windows to look at the sky at night and sun in the morning. We have really enjoyed the stay. The hosts Ian and Britta were very friendly and helpful with giving us advice and ideas for hiking and discovering things around Brockenhurst. Huge thanks to Britta for an exceptional and very generous breakfast, you have really spoiled us. All the best to both and we hope to see you again.

Lovely cabin in the garden with a skylight and attached sauna - great location, very quiet but close to the centre of the village. Ian and Britta made us very welcome and fed us well, and generally we had a great time.

We had a wonderful stay with Ian and Britta. The cabin was wonderful and the breakfast the following morning was truly superb. We were provided with a great walk route into the New Forest and many recommendations of local places to eat and drink. I can't recommend this property highly enough.

Ian and Britta were the perfect hosts. Ian was there to meet us on arrival at the property and provided us with lots of useful information about the local area and the New Forest. The log cabin exceeded our expectations. It was spacious yet cosy with tea and coffee making facilities and free wifi. It is tucked away around the corner of a spacious garden and feels very private. We had requested both vegan and vegetarian breakfasts which were delicious and kept us going all day; Britta even provided fresh raspberries from the garden. For those using public transport, the property is less then 10 minutes walk away from Brockenhurst train station. A wonderful AirBnB experience which I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

My fiancé and I felt very welcome from the moment we met Ian and his wife. They were both very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was delicious, and Ian kindly put a cycle route together for us! The location was quiet and we had a great night's sleep. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastically friendly hosts and a cosy cabin in a beautiful part of the forest. The hosts are very welcoming and can provide a wealth of information on the best walks and places to visit in the forest. The cabin itself is private and comfortable, close to the main house and its amenities. We were treated to a delicious cooked breakfast each morning which really set us up well for the day. I'd definitely recommend staying here and will be doing so again on our next trip to the New Forest.

We had a lovely stay at Acres Down house. David and Lindsay provided a warm welcome and were very knowledgeable of the New Forrest. A pleasure to stay there and would recommend anybody wishing a quiet and relaxing stay.

We had a great stay in this lovely part of the forest. Our hosts were very welcoming and informative but we also felt that we had total privacy. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and perfect for walking into the forest or to pubs for dinner.

Lindsay and David's place is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the New Forrest; you have it right on your doorstep! The rooms are very comfortable, with plenty of living space to relax after a long walk. There is a great farm shop right around the corner, and really lovely pubs within walking distance; just remember to take a torch with you to light your way back.

Had a great stay at Lindsay's place - really friendly hosts and great location. House is cosy, warm and a comfy bed. Would recommend.

A lovely property supplied with everything we needed for a 3 day stay. Lindsay and David were very welcoming as were the dogs & pony!

Lindsay's place is modern, clean, tidy, and situated in a beautiful part of the New Forest. Perfect for exploring the area. Facilities were great and Lindsay left food for breakfast and hot drinks. Lindsay herself is a wonderful host. Great communication and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at Lindsays apartment 'The Finches'. Its super quiet and relaxed there. You can hear the birds singing in the morning and rain on the roof at night. You'll likely be greeted on arrival by a very friendly dog and horse. Access into the forest is immediate and the section directly to the south of the property is particularly nice. Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary is about a two mile walk away and the same distance to the pub in the other direction. Lyndsay was very friendly and greeted us on arrival but we didn't see them at all during out three day stay. The experience of staying there felt private. Perfect for a couples stay, the kitchen has everything you need for simple meals, the shower is pretty powerful (although the hot water is limited) and the bed very comfy. All of the fixtures and fittings are really new which was an added bonus. There's a nice guidebook folder with local bits and bobs to do. The farm shop around the corner has a few essentials but you'll need to go to Lyndhurst for a bigger shop. I recommend going shopping before you get there so as to not waste time shopping when you could be relaxing or in the forest. You must go and have a cream tea at the bizzare tea room attached to the farm shop. You can't buy just a drink - they force you to eat a slice of cake whether you want one or not!!!

We've just got home after a long weekend staying with David and Lindsay. We booked this place as a base for my husband and I to walk and cycle through the new forest. There is a signposted official New Forest cycle track which runs right past the house. We would love to have stayed longer as we feel we only scratched the surface of the official and unofficial cycle tracks within cycling distance of the finches. The room/apartment was immaculate, warm and very comfortable. The shower was very powerful and great for massaging away the aches after a ride on the bikes. There is a campsite neighbouring the property (at Acres Down Farm) which means that there is a small farm/camp shop which sells lots of meats, jams and chutneys made/grown at the farm. (As well as cream teas) The farm shop was a little disappointing when it came to a good selection of fruit and vegetables. We walked to 'The Trusty Servant' at Minstead (22 mins walk) which served us a top quality meal, which represented great value for money. Lindsay and David were a great host and very communicative. When they found out we planned to go cycling they made sure that their information booklet contained lots of information about cycle routes we could do through the forest. The apartment is very well kitted out with ironing board & Iron, wifi, microwave, 4-hob stove, oven/grill, hair drier, TV, fridge (with small freezer compartment), dishwasher. We did cook a meal we had brought with us, but would have struggled to cook anything other than a simple meal from scratch or heat up a ready meal. (Only 1 saucepan and a small frying pan in the kitchen!) Lindsay kindly stocked the fridge with milk, orange juice, eggs, butter, jam, bread and pain au chocolat. If you are planning to go walking or cycling in the new forest, we highly recommend staying here.

Great accommodation within walking distance of Lyndhurst centre. Welcoming host and good amenities. The breakfast was a nice touch.

Only stayed for one night at Celias but were very pleased with the room which was nice and clean and cozy,also a good selection of breakfast cereals,fruit and a mini fridge. Great communication and directions from Celia although we didn't get to meet her. We were greeted by Celias sister Carol who made sure we were comfortable and recommended the local pub for good food.

Very close to the town. Comfy and warm room. Celia made us feel very welcome. Thanks!!

We stayed for one night. Carol, Celia's sister, welcomed us being very helpful and flexible with the check in time. We were very pleased with the room which was nice, warm, clean and cozy. There was also a good selection of breakfast cereals,fruit and a mini fridge. We loved exploring the forest and the charming towns. We found people from Lyndhurst and the New Forest very friendly!

A great location just a short walk to the town where there are a great range of restaurants. The room is a great size, has a fantastic view and is private too. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend room if you are visiting the forest and the lovely town of Lyndhurst.

This place is truly lovely. Loved the hospitality and the kindness of our hosts. Our room was neat tidy and fit for our purpose. Close to restaurants and lovely walks which we tried to do despite our busy schedule. It's also very good value for money. Thank you Celia and Carol

Felt welcome & at home, would recommend

We had most great experience in New Forest! Carol, a very lovely woman, nicely welcomed us. She also advised some areas to visit and thanks to her we managed to see the most beautiful places within 2 days. The room is full of sun in mornings, very clean and quite. I have only positive feedback and hope to go back again!

nice space to stay. the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. a great gateway for visiting the new forests.

Tracy & Jacqui's place was amazingly clean and we loved our short stay there. They both are lovely hosts and very helpful. I totally recommend them if you are planning to cycle around the New Forest Park as their location is just 15 minutes cycling to the off-road paths. Thanks for everything and all the best. Ellie & Adele

Tracy was very welcoming and took the time to explain us everything, and she checked on us regularly to make sure that we were happy. The room was as described, cosy and clean, we had everything we needed. There were many flyers about what activities could be done in the region, as well as maps for walks, what we appreciated a lot. A great stay! =)

Cosy private room with ensuite. Own private entrance is a great little extra. Very comfortable and modern. The hosts were welcoming and happy to chat about the area which is great access to the New Forest for runs and bike rides.

For us a fantastic place to stay! Tracy & Jacqui are very nice, helpful and give good advice. Location is close to the main roads so easy to get in and out. Around the corner a superstore with cafe and gas station. Our dog had a great time and got great care. Own entrance, nice bathroom, fridge and kettle, All what needed was there.. A very quiet neighborhood! Hopefully we can stay here again when we visit Southampton!

Staying with Tracy & Jacqui in Totton was great. There was a warm welcome with a comprehensive brief on the facilities available and of local transport etc The accommodation was clean, tidy, comfortable and had the added advantages of own private entrance and off road parking. There was a clean and well equipped shower room with plenty of towels, the double sized bed was comfy and the room was nice and warm. There was also access to coffee and tea making facilities, a toaster and a fridge. I would highly recommend staying there and would definitely stay again. Possibly for the next Boat Show if it's available. Many thanks to Jacqui and Tracy Best regards Billy Boatshed Plymouth

Great stay. Nice to be in a separate annex bit. Friendly and welcoming, everything was exactly as advertised.

Tracy and Jacqui are fantastic hosts. The room was spotlessly clean and it is on the doorstep to the new forest. The bedroom is slightly offset from the rest of the house which gives you a nice amount of private space and the conservatory is great for breakfasts or unwinding after a days walk.

Lovely place, enjoyed our stay ! Right next to pub with stunning views

The Hideaway is exactly as described, a lovely place to stay in a fantastic location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, nice location and clean house.

We loved this hideaway. Great value, quiet and scenic. Great walks on the doorstep- Heidi's tearoom was lovely with delicious breakfast! A great pub is just over the road. Heidi was ever so helpful and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend

We found Andy and Heidi wonderful hosts from the moment we arrived. Andy was at home to greet us and show us around the hideaway which was immaculately presented and very cosy and warm - a perfect entrance on a chilly Autumn evening. The hideaway was prepared with some breakfast bits including fresh local bread and jam and a selection of toiletries. Heidi and Andy own the small village shop which you will definitely want to stop by for the fresh goods - I can happily recommend the sausage rolls and cinnamon bun! The location is perfect for walking straight off into the hills of the New Forest and they can point you the way if you're not sure. The pub across the green is excellent for food with a nice large beer garden. Overall a delightful stay which I can fully recommend.

Great countryside location. Very conveniently located not far from the trusty servant pub and some great walks.

The place is so pretty. Own entrance is such a plus especially for couples and families. Very very private just as described. Was not too easy to find as satnav could not find it. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you both. Highly recommended

Lovely village in New Forest and a great base to visit the area.

Great cottage, very spacious and clean. Closes to train station, but you do not hear the trains. Close to a great pub that does great food. This was my second stay in the cottage and will not be my last. I highly recommend this cottage.

A beautiful house with an exquisite living room that we enjoyed. It is also a good base from which you can explore the New Forest and is located right next to an excellent pub. David was extremely responsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rufus Cottage. Visiting the New Forest for the first time for a family reunion our days were full and exhausting. Rufus Cottage was the perfect retreat each night. Clean, spacious and spoilt to have both an ensuite and family bathroom. The beds were a delight to fall into each night providing us with great night's sleeps. The kitchen was well set up with everything you need and we wish we had more time to cook at the cottage and enjoy the entertaining spaces. The location was so convenient getting from one side of the New Forest to the other. David's details for access to the cottage were perfect, we needed for nothing. David also provided us with great detail and cost efficiencies for dining near by. We will be back!

This is a lovely place to stay. We came for a long weekend with our two who are 3 and three months. A very high spec place, very well equipped and the benefit of a cot and things to cater for children without taking away that it had a feel of a good hotel and could be equally as good for a romantic get away. En suite in the master bedroom with dressing gowns etc a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend and easy to get to the New Forest and surrounding areas.

David accepted my booking request at short notice and gave me all the info I needed to find the house and get inside. The cottage is in a great location and is very cosy. It was perfect for a quick family getaway.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Rufus Cottage. Kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, plenty of glasses and dishes. Huge bonus having a washer/dryer. Very comfortable seating areas, we loved being able to have family over for lunch and have room for everybody with two tables and three sofas! Beds were comfortable and we were really surprised that with the train and pub so close by there wasn't any noise! Very nice to have towels provided! My Nieces liked the games provided and we had fun in the conservatory. David was a great host, answered my questions immediately and was very gracious when I informed him that I had broken a plate and turned some of his towels pink! I've already booked another week in June! Highly recommend!

This was a lovely large cottage beautiful decorated and very clean. we all felt at home straight away. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with all the equitment you needed. You wouldnt need a car as your next door to the train station and pub and a very short walk to some shops and take away. very local to peppa pig world and not to far to poole or Bournemouth. So many local attractions which David has a whole stack of leaflets to look through for local things to do.

Rufus Cottage was a perfect base for our family of four. There was lots of space downstairs and the kitchen was really well designed and very thoughtfully equipped. David was a great host, unintrusive but immediately contactable if we needed anything. The cottage is located right next to a pub and Ashurst station so great for access but still very peaceful. We saw lots of the New Forest during our short stay and would definitely visit again. Thank you, David.

Meeting friends in lymington we spent 2 nights at Kathryn's place in the small room, which was perfect value for money and exactly what we required. I would not advise it though for a longer stay unless you are really on a budget. Breakfast is very good, freshly cooked to order and Kathryn has been a very interesting and passionate partner at conversation. We would be happy to be back.

Kathryn was a very helpful and welcoming host. She was very fun and had great local knowledge. Our room was small, but we knew this when we booked. Although small it was very well laid out with a place for everything. Breakfast was fantastic, all very good quality produce with a good selection of jams. Brockenhurst is a great location for the forest and this bnb is right at the centre of it. Great stay, many thanks Kathryn

Very convenient location for a cycling trip in the New Forest. Kathryn gave us lots of tips about the local area and made us wonderful breakfast to set us up for the day. Very clear communication about the place. Highly recommend for a New Forest break

Kathryn's very welcoming and her place is just as described in her listing. A great option for a weekend away. The breakfast is also good value and very tasty.

Kathryn was a lovely host and the house is very cosy.

Lovely house ,home and host

We had a lovely warm welcome from Kathryn and felt able to ask our friendly host about the area.

Kathryn made us feel very welcome. She has a lovely home which is conveniently located. We enjoyed our stay at Kathryn's, she was a great host!

Nick and Fi are among the warmest, kindest hosts with whom we have had the pleasure to stay, and we had a lovely, if all-too-brief stay in their beautiful home in the heart of the New Forest. Our room was delightfully light, airy, and tastefully decorated, with an incredibly comfortable bed. Nick and Fi had taken much care with our stay, as evinced by their attention to detail: from the refreshment we were provided with, to the flowers that decorated our room. Our breakfasts were good-quality, filling, and delicious, and they were very vegetarian-friendly, which my boyfriend greatly appreciated. The grounds were beautiful, and we were welcomed to the area by New Forest ponies browsing the hedgerows, and a handsome cherry tree in the drive. The walking in the area was among the best I have had in the UK, and for those interested in the natural world, the place is filled with ancient oaks and wildlife that as is hard to find elsewhere. The skies are filled with the sound of song thrushes, and the now increasingly rare call of the cuckoo. There were decent pubs within walking distance of the house (The Trusty Servant was an easy walk and kept its beer well), and it is within reach of some great National Trust properties that are also worth a visit, including Mottisfont, which has an astonishingly beautiful rose garden. Don't miss Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's gravestone in the local churchyard, if you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes! We hope to return soon!

Genuinely lovely stay with great hosts.

Lovely farm with animals. Nick and Fee were very hospitable and very nice and easygoing. Breakfast was delicious. :-)

I can't express how amazing and lovely this bnb is! Fi is so warm and welcoming, she organized a horse back riding session for us, picked us up and dropped us off at the station, told us how to get to lovely pubs and a beautiful garden for cream tea and made us the most AMAZING breakfast! The house and room was clean, spacious, airy and beautiful in an area where we could easily walk to desired areas and beautiful nature paths and with an only 1.5-2 hour train ride from London this beautiful bnb makes for the perfect weekend get-away. I can't recommend the grove enough I wish I could give it more then 5 stars. Can't wait to come back!!

It was a wonderful experience, the house is set in beautiful surroundings, the room was lovely and clean and the host Fi was so welcoming. This was a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and she absolutely loved it. I can't thank Fi enough for making us feel so welcome and providing tips on things to see/ places to go etc.

Nick and Fiona are lovely hosts and we felt entirely at home from the first minute on. Fiona cooked us lovely vegetarian breakfast and we had very interesting discussions. The room is beautiful and cosy and the location is perfect to explore the New Forest. Fiona was helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to visit. She even gave us a lift to the local pub so we didn't have to drive ourselves. We would definitively come back if we'd every come back to the south of England.

Nick and Fi were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even coming to pick us up from the local pub when the weather was too horrendous to walk! The room was very comfortable, spotless and had loads of character. The breakfast was beautiful and included fruit, toast, yoghurt, full english, basically anything you could think of. They couldn't do enough for us. We would definitely return.

Many thanks to Fi and Nick for such a warm welcome and a relaxing stay in their lovely home. Everything was spotless, and the breakfasts were more than enough to keep you going all day - full English breakfast with the freshest of eggs, fruit, cereal and toast. Fi helped us to find locations of interest to us in the area and recommended suitable places to eat. A great place to stay.

Very nice place and nice lady. She gave us big room was so peaceful and wonderful sleeping. Thanks for breakfast and everything. Highly recommended(:

Thank you Juliane and Isabella for the week-end. We spent a very good time at your lovely cottage : bedroom, food and garden. We will come back ! And you are welcome to visit us in France !

A small but cosy and clean room with shared bathroom. Lovely hosts who made every effort to make me feel at home. The location is lovely.
