We totally loved our stay here. It was very clean, and had everything you needed and more. The beds were so comfy, and pillows a dream to sleep on. Wardrobe and draw space in the bedrooms was perfect. The 2 lovely sitting rooms to either watch the world go by or the other to lounge about in, whilst playing card/board games. The location was perfect for the town of Lymington, with the High Street, Saturday market and bars and restaurants all within walking distance. There are so many shops to browse, and everyone was friendly wherever we went. We totally lucked out with the weather too. Highl...more
We found Room 23 to clean, beautifully decorated and thought out, quirky, peaceful and with a lovely little garden to look out on and sit in, all the little cute touches in the garden were appreciated. The selection of teas and coffees was good and we especially enjoyed the complimentary chocolates. Location is good, you can walk to the beach and seafront, which we did, we swam in the sea and were lucky enough to watch a seal bobbing up and down for ages, loved that. Lots to do in the area. Recommend The Noisey Lobster, restaurant in Mudeford.
My partner and I stayed two nights at Bramble Hut for their birthday, and we had a wonderful time. The location is fantastic, and we loved being so close to nature. The Hut itself was perfectly equipped for our stay, and super comfortable. Of course, we enjoyed the hot tub - it was the perfect treat after a full day's activities in the New Forest. We really appreciated the extra touches too from the Hosts, and we definitely stay again in future.
Seabiscuit is located right in the heart of Lymington - right off the high street with a great mix of local and boutique shops, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants right on the doorstep. An easy walk down to the quayside to admire the yachts and sit out looking over the harbour. A dedicated secure parking place is provided next to the mews properties in which Seabiscuit resides. We were met by the property owner on arrival for a friendly welcome and to show us into Seabiscuit, answering our questions and recommending places for us to visit along with other local knowledge - thank you, t...more
Photos do not do Moonwood House justice; it is light, bright and welcoming. Plenty of room for this multigenerational family to spread themselves, inside and out. The swim spa was great fun even in October and the wood burner in the sitting room provided a cosy atmosphere when it was chilly or wet outside. The kitchen was well equipped and the open plan design meant we could enjoy bantering with our chefs when we were in the dining room. Beds were very comfortable with a good proportion of elegant ensuites. The location is ideal for coastal or forest walks and you can run to Bucklers Hard...more
Appreciated the phone call to inform us that the apartment was available early. The location was perfect; close to amenities but very quiet.
It was ‘Wow’ as soon as we walked through the door. This house has been very professionally designed inside and out. The ‘RalphLauren’ style courtyard was stunning. We almost lived out there in the shaded sun. (And I’m a garden designer!). The Kitchen Diner could host 10 comfortably to impress your friends for lunch. We only used one bedroom but the bed was very comfortable, plenty of storage and a super bathroom. Locally, everything was just a short walk away. Trains are easy to catch for days out, as is the Wightlink ferry service to the Isle of Wight. If we were 30 years younger ...more
Greenwood had everything we needed for a multi generation family holiday, and NFE service were excellent.
We were excited to take our young Poodle on his first holiday at the seaside and were amazed when we arrived at the apartment, it was perfect in every way. The location is amazingly close to the sea and amenities with lots of lovely walks easily accessible. The Lighthouse restaurant and The Smugglers Inn are both excellent and every friendly. We didn't try the Needles Eye Restaurant but it's very popular too. Mr Pinks is recommended if you like Fish and Chips. We felt very relaxed and comfortable at the apartment and can't wait to return in May. Our dog was6 so happy exploring and having fu...more
Had a great stay at Tree Top House. A beautiful spacious house, well equipped, very clean in a lovely area. So close to Moors Valley Country park. Owner was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
We thought very comfortable and of a high standard, home away from home. An excellent base to explore the New Forest.
This house was perfect for our multi generational trip to the New Forest to celebrate two special birthdays. It met our needs completely, catering easily for our group with ages ranging from 9 months old to 70 years old. The location is quiet and in the heart of the forest, yet within easy reach of Burley, Christchurch, Lyndhurst and Lymington. This is a great house, and if you are looking for a place to stay for up to 8 people then we would highly recommend it.
An amazing experience, very homely but also luxurious! Very thoughtfully well maintained, would highly recommend!
This was the second time we rented this house from this company, as the house and customer service were amazing the first time. And we certainly weren’t disappointed this time. We particularly liked the attention to detail, and for us who wanted walks, cycling routes and pubs within easy reach, plus the high street it really worked.
This is our second time to stay in this wonderful house and noticed quite a few new additions to the property which were a great touch. The house itself is charming and well laid out, and whilst it lacks any great views it makes up for that in position - a few minutes walk away from Lymington High Street and very close to Marks & Spencer Food store, a Waitrose branch and Boots pharmacy. The house has four bedrooms, three nice bathrooms and easily coped with our family of nine. The decoration is fresh and inviting, the property was very clean on arrival and lovely touches left for us with a bas...more
A stunning house, excellent facilities across bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and the living spaces upstairs. The view out front the comfortable lounge was ‘wow’ and the bonus of having pool table & upstairs bar area just made in perfect.
A great house lots of room and plenty to do despite the bad weather. The house was well equipped and there was lots of room for everyone.
This modern apartment in Lymington is very close to all the towns amenities , including a car park. It has everything you need for a short break and is very comfortable. Excellent for anyone with a disability too. The bedroom is very spacious with a comfy bed. The only downside is having to access a garage for bins which is difficult.
We had the most wonderful time together in the New Forest, we had a lady of 87 with us in a wheelchair and we coped ok. I had my birthday BBQ there all was so easy to cook with all the equipment provided. The house is amazing , lots of things to do there, ping pong, football, basketball, lots of board games too. Jacuzzi was well used , and the gym , not so much the sauna as the weather was very hot while we were there. Thank you
Fantastic location and gorgeous cottage for a week in the New Forest. Grant was very welcoming, showed us around the cottage and left us a gift of cake and wine. The cottage has everything you might need, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and large bathroom with bath. It also has a cute courtyard garden with bench and seating. One minute walk to the main high street and cobbled quayside area, with plenty of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. A short walk to the marina, with walking paths around the sea front all the way to Milford on Sea. We loved our week here and would definitely stay again...more
We had a truly wonderful stay at Fair Winds recently. We have stayed in a number of properties from New Forest Escapes, all of which have been fantastic but Fair Winds was next level. The space, both indoors and outdoors, was so well thought out and the decor was very tastefully done. The huge sliding doors into the garden are even better than the photos suggest and create a stunning frame as you look into the well maintained garden. The bedrooms were all a great size with very comfy beds (Emma mattresses which are great); the master bedroom was particularly impressive! There were only two of ...more
We were a family of 6 adults, 1 small child and 2 dogs, with 2 birthdays to celebrate! The house is wonderful for a larger group, as each bedroom has its own en-suite, and the shared areas are very comfortable. The beds, which are huge, were on the firm side and comfort level is quite subjective. The kitchen was well equipped for our requirements (nothing too complicated being cooked!) with plenty of cupboards for food storage and 2 fridges, and the whole house was spotlessly clean. Everyone loved the large private garden which was perfect for our two dogs. It was quite secure but some larger ...more
What a great find. A couple of minutes away from amazing pubs and restaurants, with the added bonus of a ground floor ensuite for our mum. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable. Thank you so much!
Riverview is beautiful. The house is homely and would make a perfect summer or winter break as it offers so much. Located close to the town but also with great walks.
Beautiful, comfortable and cosy house. Well appointed, there's everything you need. Ample outside space and large garden. Communication prior to our stay was exemplary. Only negative , really, is the noisy road. Had to close the windows at the front to minimize the noise. However, this is mentioned in the description, so you are warned
Beautiful house, it has everything you need, books, games, DVDs and Bluetooth speaker. The kitchen is well equipped and is a good size to accommodate everyone. There was a basket of little treats and milk in the fridge on arrival. We spent most of our time in the kitchen. It’s lovely to see the horses and cows on the green in front of the house. We had a lovely surprise of bread, orange juice and water on the first morning of our stay. The only thing I would change is the heating, upstairs was very warm and downstairs was cold. That’s just us being picky as there is a log fire and plenty of...more
The nest is a nice spot for a short break Garden size is great and it’s well equipped It was not completely clean some surfaces dusty and a little sticky which was off putting Heating was not on when we arrived we had to turn it on and it can’t be set above 19 degrees which might be challenging when it’s really cold Beautiful area and a very quiet tranquil place
Fantastic property for a break away. Close to amenities. Beautifully decorated and presented. Lovely welcome gifts too. Would definitely recommend it.
What a wonderful escape in the New Forest. Very easy and enjoyable booking experience, lovely personal touches and great to know you can easily speak to a real person whenever needed. The cottage itself was wonderful, so comfortable and clean. Lots of extra touches, such as the dog treats, washing tabs, kids cutlery/plates/bowls etc mean that we had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Beds super comfy, showers great, kitchen really well equipped for a family. There were 4 adults, a child and a dog and we had plenty of space. The location is amazing, being able to walk straigh...more
Everything we could’ve possibly needed was available. The house is really spacious so plenty of areas to sit and relax un lovely comfort. Very easy walking into town about 15 minutes, and the pub that’s five minutes walk away is absolutely splendid. All communication through booking, and up to arrival was excellent very friendly and professional. Would happily revisit.
We are 2 couples who stayed with a small dog for a long weekend at Watch Cottage and loved it. The house is beautiful,; tastefully and thoughtfully furnished and so clean and comfortable. The outside space is perfect for al fresco eating (we also enjoyed the lovely cat next door peering round the corner at us!) We didn't need to use the garden room as we were lucky enough to have great weather but it's another nice area to use. We actually spent most of our time in the homely kitchen. Everything we needed was provided. Id move in tomorrow given the chance. You do hear the road in the fr...more
Had a great time the garden was much appreciated in the hot weather. Lots of fans in the house to keep us cool. The orangery is a beautiful feature was a delight to sit there. If you want a perfect holiday venue look no further.
We had a lovely stay at your property. There was 6 adults and two dogs in our party and the house was ideal for our needs. It was my wife’s 60th and it ticked all the boxes. Clean, spacious, well laid out and well equipped. Also the contact with the agents were concise and actioned swiftly. The welcome pack was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend. Regards Graham Whewell
We were a multigenerational family who stayed at Furzedown Farm House for a long weekend. The house suited us perfectly, as it had multiple bedrooms (including two very large rooms) and plenty of bathrooms. All of the living rooms and kitchen were spacious and nicely decorated. The view from upstairs was fantastic, enjoyed from the rocking chairs on the balcony! The peacocks in the garden were a highlight, plus the 2 minute walk to the pub down a leafy lane was a bonus! The coast just far and the cute town of Hythe is an easy walk away. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to...more
A lovely cottage really well located, close to Lymington and nice walks through the New Forest. Would recommend and look forward to staying again.
Lovely stay in a peaceful yet central location. Ideal for visiting the New Forest and further afield, such as the Isle of Wight.
This apartment is a wing of Exbury House. Exbury House is set within 200 acres of beautiful grounds which are just stunning. Located just outside the New Forest and a short drive to Beaulieu. The apartment is accessed by a lift or stairs, it is very spacious and ideal for a family get together. Spacious tall ceilings and the feeling of grandeur awaits. We used the outdoor pool onsite, which although a bit chilly was a really nice addition. All 4 bedrooms are en-suite, 3 having baths. Well equipped kitchen although the waste disposal & wine fridge were out of order, this didn’t impact our s...more
We had a wonderful stay here, the manager was easy to call when we asked a gas canister for the bbq and they came over straight away. Location is great, house is perfect and super clean and tidy. We will come back again that is for sure.
We stayed at Moo Cottage as a group of 6 friends (3 couples) for 3 nights. The property is really lovely and in a very peaceful spot. We had a great stay, but there were a few things which could have been better. Could have done with a lot more crockery and glasses, the towel rails in 2 of the bathrooms were left on full which made the rooms really hot. One of these wasn't easy to turn off as it wasn't obvious where the switch was. In the downstairs bedroom where I slept, the bedding had a few, what looked like, grease stains which were a bit off-putting. There was a bad ant infestation ...more
We booked Little Nye independently from the main house which fortunately was empty during our stay. We very much enjoyed our visit, the location is great with walks on the doorstep and we loved the Gun Inn round the corner. However, although the description makes it clear this is an annexe, I don’t think we would have enjoyed it very much if the house had been occupied. Little Nye was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The decking and garden furniture could benefit from a refresh as could the bathroom cabinets and floor. New Forest Escapes customer service was exceptional.
I regularly take my grandchildren away and this house was perfect for them. Age between 7-11 (girls) the garden was great for all manner of games and the bonus was the cows in the field. The layout meant anyone cooking in the well stocked kitchen could engage with others outside easily. New forest Escapes were exceptionally efficient and charming. A truly lovely holiday
Lovely as always and a great location for watching teh world go by and perfect for the long walks into Christchurch we enjoy
A well equipped house in a beautiful location. Plenty of room for our party of 5 and a very well equipped kitchen - so often properties of this size have tiny pans etc but this house has everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. We stayed in November so were able to make full use of the log fire and Aga. Nice touches such as hand-wash in every bathroom and kitchen plus some basic kitchen supplies. Nice walks from the house, and a great farm shop nearby for breakfast - special deal if eating before 10am.
We had a lovely stay at Popsy cottage. The house was sparkling clean, spacious and homy. Well furnished throughout and lots of recommendations of places to visit which was helpful as we were there for a whole week. Agency and host were attentive and responsive which was great. A few things however to flag: 1) the mattresses in the two bedrooms at the front of the property are terrible and need changing, my brother and I didn't have the best sleep and we both had a backache every morning 2) the heating is fiddly, we put the thermostat in the living room on a low temperature when we went to bed ...more
This place was perfect for us. Well equipped and cosy. The support from the team was superb when we had an issue ( caused by us). Will definitely come back.
The week went well with great facilities and a big garden.Maybe a swimming pool would work well as there is plenty of garden to put it in
6 of us, 3 generations, had a wonderful week here. The house is great in general (although a little tired in places) The Aga was not functioning at full temperature and we were unable to use the downstairs toilet, which would not flush properly. A couple of minor issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The location is just wonderful, with gorgeous walks right from the front door and stunning views over the Isle of Wight. The nearby pub, The Gun Inn, is fantastic, with excellent food. We all loved the whole experience and would gladly return!
A really attractive and peaceful location. We loved hearing the geese and owls in the nearby nature reserve and seeing the bats flitting around at night. Comfortably furnished with lovely artworks, a roaring log burner and lots of space for our family of six adults and one small baby.
The cottage is picture perfect, in a beautiful part of the forest, with direct access to miles of walking -our dog loved it! Jane the owner went above and beyond to help me sort a surprise birthday present for my partner, I can’t praise her enough. We will be back
I stayed in the upstairs section of Burley mews which is perfect for a couple. The location is tranquil with stunning walks on the doorstep or a short drive away. The cottage is clean with tasteful decor and well equiped. Thought has been given to every need including provision for a dog and a baby/toddler. Nick was very helpful and responsive to my enquiries. I would highly recommend.
Little Exbury did not disappoint. A beautiful home with stunning views and a sense of peace. The house is fully equipped and our stay was just magical. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
Spent a lovely 5 days at Sway corner. Good location although the road gets very busy at peak times. The house was very homely and presented beautifully with plenty of space for everyone . We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
Nutshell is a delightful small, but very well laid out cottage over three floors. The renovation has been very well thought through with excellent bathrooms, good size bedrooms and beds. Location is excellent with a short walk to the high street and quality supermarkets. Parking is also well organised in a large car park a two minute walk away. My only gripe it was day three before we found the dishwasher!
We had a lovely time at Wisteria Cottage. There are walks right on the doorstep. The house is immaculate and very well appointed. The weather was kind and we made use of the wonderful terrace. The surround sound on the television was great. it is located in a peaceful location. A wonderful park that enables you to walk into the Town or to a local pub. All in all we had a wonderful weekend.
Such lovely accommodation. Garden very natural. So peaceful. Hosts lovely. Could have done with better instructions on how to find it though.
We loved this property, its proximity to town, cleanliness and cosy feel. We particularly appreciate it was warm on a cold day!and you generously provided spare toilet rolls and products. We’d come again. Only criticism and it’s subjective, is the pillows were quite hard! But that’s minor ☺️
The house itself is extremely beautiful, the furnishing is straight from a magazine and it’s equipped very well. However, there were some important issues which did worsen our stay. The garden is absolutely not secure - along one long side the fence is around a foot off the ground meaning any small or medium dog can just walk out. There are also some large holes leading directly only a well used country road. Also, we asked in advance if there were fans as it was in a heatwave. We were told there were fans and AC in the attic. The latter was untrue and the attic was so much warmer than...more
We were so excited to return to this beautiful, spacious house in Lymington,with beautiful views over the river , and it was every bit as lovely as we remembered. It’s very comfortable & tastefully decorated, & had everything we needed. Our small dogs were welcome too, & the garden really is secure, which meant we could relax and enjoy our stay. We were very well looked after by the hosts too. We’d happily return again!
We were very lucky with the weather but had a fantastic stay at Nye Creek. The house has a very high spec and is very comfortable and has everything you need for a home from home holiday. It is also ideally situated with the fantastic Gunn pub a short stroll away, highly recommended we ate there twice. Lymington is also a short drive for the Saturday market get there early to get parked though. We also had a wonderful afternoon team at Emes tea room in Brokenhurst. Overalll a great family break and Gus the Boston loved exploring the garden and surrounding coastline.
The cottage was clean and welcoming. Well stocked with things you might need including washing supplies, coffee pods and bin bags. The parking clock was very useful.
A great holiday cottage - compact but surprisingly spacious. The bathroom arrangements are interesting so check them but for our 3 family households there was no problem at all. Bedrooms all well appointed and comfy. It's an old cottage with bags of character and the best bit was a fantastic big garden for kids to play in.
We've used New Forest Escapes for many years and value what they have to offer very much. Easy to book, true to life descriptions and this most recent stay was one of the best. Thank you for an amazing holiday!
Our second visit to The Lookout this year, the view is breathtaking. Lovely walks from the front gate in all directions. the Foresters along the road serve a lovely Roast Dinner. Almost every morning we saw deers in the closed section of the garden below the terrace which was lovely. Also managed to see some of the pigs that were put out for pannage season the day before we left. Can’t recommend The Lookout high enough
Loved every minute of our stay. The property was perfect for a 5 day family get together. Beautiful house, fantastic facilities and excellent location
We enjoyed a fantastic short stay at the Old Church; the location is great for exploring the New Forest, with the benefit of having a great pub on the doorstep for those evenings you don't fancy cooking...but why would you go out when you can spend another evening in a fabulous property; as well as being well-appointed, spotlessly clean and superbly well-equipped, this is a property that someone has given genuine love, care and attention to, with great attention to detail and how it will be used by visiting families. And to boot...it's a converted church, for heaven's sake! With all the indivi...more
Considering we only live in Bournemouth this was closer than a usual getaway, but it really didn't matter, it was a great time away. The surrounding location is amazing. The house itself had space for a quiet moment, but the communal areas too. Great feel to the house and we would definitely visit again. Kids enjoyed the games room and a spot of Badminton on the lawn.
