More ideas on things to do and see in the area:

Horse riding in Brockenhurst;
Beaulieu motor museum;
Buckler’s Hard;

Nice old towns of Christchurch and Lyndhurst. Lyndhurst has a great New Forest tourist information centre with brochures on more things to do, walking and cycling trails, etc.
We can highly recommend the 'Monkey House' restaurant/pub that is a 2-minute drive towards Lymington. The beautiful and upscale ‘The Pig’ restaurant in Brockenhurst is great for family celebrations and is 20 minutes away.
From Lymington short ferry ride to Isle of Wight with beautiful nature walks.

We allow pets, but charge a sanitation fee of £25 per pet per night. They need monitoring to ensure they do not run into the forest or on the road.

Lovely house & garden but needs extra sofa in lounge area to accommodate the number of guests staying. Some beds and mattresses need to be replaced as everytime you turn over it creaks and disturbs nights sleep. Other than this we had a great weekend, children thoroughly enjoyed rope swing. Ideal house and great space for our family, 6 Adults and 5 children.

Really clean, warm and comfortable, good Internet, TV, nice garden, good parking.Only slight drawback not enough seating in sitting room. Perhaps another small sofa.Overall it's very good value and we will use it again for a family gathering.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
The house was very suitable for what we booked it for . Very spacious property However the 2 downstairs bathrooms do need looking at and the outside decking areas where beginning to look tired and some of the wooden chairs are tired and dangerous Overall the house served our purpose But before very long it will need a spruce up and deep clean
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2023
The bedrooms layout were good, there was plenty of parking space, the conservatory was a lovely space and communication with the owner was good.
However the dining room table only sat 8 so we had to bring in a rickerty table from outside and a couple of the family had to sit on the breakfast counter.
There were plenty of plates and cutlery etc but the cutlery in particular could do with updating!
The bedroom and bathroom upstairs were both great. However the beds in some of the other bedrooms were very old and uncomfortable - some of our party left early as the beds hurt their backs.
There were enough chairs in the lounge for everyone to sit on, but that included dining room chairs so not very comfortable to sit and chat and play games as a family of 13.
The garden was a lovely area and the grandchildren loved the swing and as a family we made use of badminton and table tennis. However the grass was so long and everything so overgrown that we couldn’t use any of the outside seating apart from the wooden table and chairs outside the conservatory.
This could be a lovely property but would benefit from some TLC
