Perfect for Paultons park visit

We had a lovely time. We were staying to visit Paultons park and it was a 7 minute drive away. The cottage is spacious and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Would book again

Period cottage easily accessible for long distance travellers

The cottage lives up to its period look with various features such as low beamed ceilings and a quirky layout. The modern kitchen with conservatory and family area was lovely and bright, and the garden a delight to sit in for our morning coffee. One main bathroom & a utility room containing a shower room was fine, but the 2nd toilet was as far from the bedrooms as it could possibly be, tucked away downstairs accessible via a storeroom. We are 5 female friends in our 50s and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with cosy evenings at home accompanied by hearty homemade food and a glass or 3 of good wine.

Pre-Christmas break

This property was perfect for a short getaway. There was plenty of space for us (5 adults and one baby) and we loved the cosy living room. The house was really clean and had everything we needed, and was a great location for nearby Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst. Everything about the stay was very straightforward - we would definitely use again.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie

We see the cottage as our second home which we share with the guests who book to stay. We orignally bought it pre children so we could escape London at the weekends and enjoy the outdoors. We now have a 6 year old and 4 year old twins who also love the cottage and The Forest. This means the cottage is very suitable for families with children but also for grown ups.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact that the cottage has the character of an old thatched cottage with a light modern extension at the back. This means we have a cosy front room which we use in winter and the evenings, but a light living room next to the kitchen and the garden for summer and the day time.

We also love the garden and have changed it a lot since buying the cottage, adding fruit trees, roses and a raised decking area at the back to make the most of the views across the fields.
