"We’ve stayed at the cottage before. We love its slightly offbeat, bohemian vibe. It is also very comfortable whatever the weather, this time we were able to sit out in its charmingly wilful garden too..."

We’ve stayed at the cottage before. We love its slightly offbeat, bohemian vibe. It is also very comfortable whatever the weather, this time we were able to sit out in its charmingly wilful garden too.Eling itself is an intriguing mix of rural village, marina, ocean port and marshland and is very convenient for Southampton, the New Forest and environs.Highly recommended.

A beautifully furnished cottage, full of character with lots of lovely individual touches. Very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Mandy had supplied lots of thoughtful extras like toys put out for the children, fresh bread, biscuits and fizz in the fridge! The shower is brilliant, with Faith in Nature toiletries provided which was a real treat! Great location for accessing the New Forest, quiet and peaceful. We loved it and would definitely stay again.
