The cottage was very well equipped, clean and beautifully presented. It was a great home from home for the week and a great base to travel to Salisbury, the beach and surrounding areas. We travelled with a dog so the cottage suited us, just be aware that the shared courtyard is not fenced and leads out onto the road so dogs should be kept on a lead.

An exceptionally high-quality cottage in a lovely countryside setting. One of the few that is as spacious inside as the images suggest! Incredibly comfortable, fully-equipped, a real home from home. A bit of a distance from the nearest town/supermarket, but that's what you choose to be in a tranquil, rural village. Great walks from the doorstep to see wildlife (we saw foxes, birds of prey, deer, mice) and within easy reach of the New Forest and all it has to offer by car. It's a friendly collection of 4 neighbouring cottages with a safe shared outdoor area for the kids (who are old enough not to leave the driveway which isn't gated). I'd highly recommend it.

Had a lovely stay, easy to get to Salisbury, about 20 min drive. I would say if you are taking a dog the garden is communal and open so best kept on a lead as near a road. The property itself is well equipped and comfortable. Would highly recommend.
