We loved our stay at The Nest. It was super clean, quiet, private and comfortable and there were lots of welcoming touches which we really appreciated for a short stay. We travelled by train and the location could not have been more convenient. 100% recommend and we'd love to go back one day!
House was amazing and a wonderful place to stay. Good location for local beach and only 10 mins from Lymington.
What an amazing house. Have stayed in many places but this was outstanding. Thank you for making our trip so worthwhile.
We stayed at Seabiscuit for a long weekend in February. Grant, the owner, welcomed us to the property and provided some information. We were also provided with a lovely chocolate cake. The house is just off Lymington High Street with easy access to a good range of shops, restaurants and bars. There is on-site parking for one car, but others can be parked without charge in nearby streets. There is plenty to do in and around Lymington, for example, you can walk the coastal path or, for the more adventurous, a walk to Hurst Castle is possible - a bit cold for us this time. The house is modern, co...more
Very comfortable accommodation. Well equipped. Lovely welcome package that was much appreciated. As we are not used to electric ovens which include grill and microwave some instructions would have been appreciated. Otherwise the only downside for us was the state of the access road to the property which was deeply rutted muddy and waterlogged. On one particularly wet day we struggled to get the car onto the property.
Exactly what we expected - loved that we weren’t too far out from New Forest and little villages and the walks, but felt cosy and away from everything when in our little hut. All areas of the hut and toilet were spotless and had everything thought through- We payed extra to take our dog and this was taken into consideration too - dog bed,blanket,towel and bowl left for her which was such a nice touch. Left to our own devices really so can’t say much on customer service, but I liked that you felt no pressure to interact or interve if you didn’t need to. But a note left to ask and hel...more
We had a fantastic stay in this very comfortable ,spacious house. We really appreciated all the extra little touches, such as a welcome basket, mini toiletries, washing and dishwashing supplies. A very convenient location to visit new forest, moors valley park and the south coast. Vivek was a very attentive host , great communication ensuring our stay was perfect. Thank you so much
Nutmeg house was great, spotlessly clean and comfortable and the location is ideal. And the surrounding area is lovely.
On arrival there were a few issues, but they were easily resolved by the owner who was very responsive. The property is lovely and in an excellent location. The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace is lush. My only suggestion, and which is a personal bugbear, is that if you are leaving an arrival pack/gift (which I think is an absolute must for properties in these price ranges) use local suppliers. A pack of biscuits and California Rose from Lidl does not quite scream “New Forest” or “personal touch”.
a pleasant and welcoming apartment to which we would return and we would also recommend others to do so
We all stayed here Christmas week with our son and daughter in law plus the three grand children plus three dogs ! .... Both main and the separate annex were finished to a high standard and were in very good condition and well heated, loved the beds plus the bath and shower rooms, all very modern and smart ....the huge annex was a godsend and allowed Mum, Dad plus us grandparents a little bit of space and privacy when needed .... Lots of local artworks adorn the wall in all rooms and this was a nice touch ... Very private location that overlooks the river estuary and we were surprised by how q...more
Lovely house, with everything you need, super comfortable beds and fabulous views across to the new forest. It really is a quite special place. Only thing to note is that the fourth bedroom is really quite small - they have fitted two single beds in, but the door does not open fully as it hits one of the beds. In my view would be better as a single, but OK for kids.
We had a great long weekend staying at The Little Gate House. It was a super relaxing and cosy property in a great location. Our hosts were very friendly and dealt with a couple of minor issues very promptly. We hope to return soon.
Excellent stay, nothing lacking, pretty good location for town. All gadgets easy to use, we will be back.
Lovely cottage; really comfortable and well appointed. Beautiful garden. The cottage had everything we needed and was beautifully kept and decorated. It made for a really relaxing stay. The owners contacted us before our stay which was appreciated and were quick to respond when we had an issue.
The photos don't do the house justice. Beautifully decorated. Great space for groups, especially those with kids. And fantastically kitted out kitchen. We also loved the fact you can drive to the beach within 10 minutes. We'll be back
We all absolutely loved our stay. The house had everything you needed and had all the comforts. We will definitely be back!
We had a fantastic stay at High Tide. It was a lovely house and the views from the living room were incredible (even in a foggy December). Ideally located for the whole of the New Forest. You can see the attention to detail that's gone in to the property and would recommend it to everyone!
We spent a wonderful week over Christmas with friends & our lab. Oak Lodge is a perfect property for relaxing & exploring the New Forest. Quietly situated in an excellent location with great walks from the doorstep & just a 10 minute stroll to the lovely village of Burley. The property was clean, extremely comfortable & has everything you need (although champagne flutes would be a good addition). Lovely large totally secure garden giving peace of mind for dogs or children. We had slight minor issue the day before Christmas Eve which unfortunately meant we had to contact Jon-but a big than...more
Absolutely loved this home. Because it really was like home! Modern coastal decor, very warm, cosy and comfortable. Lots of places to sit and admire the view, eat or watch TV. Large dining table right off the kitchen area, kitchen stool seating for those keeping the cook company. Very clean bathrooms and great shower pressure. The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment, really nothing missing at all. We would come again. Thai restaurant in the village is delicious too!
We had a nice stay and the house had everything we needed and lots of space. Easy walk to the village with pretty much everything we needed but a torch is needed in the evening- and there were torches provided. Good shower and bath facilities, even better if larger towels or robes were provided- 2 smallish towels for a week is not enough.
Victory Cottage is in a great location, convenient for both the High Street and Quayside. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished and has an exceptionally well equipped kitchen plus a lovely garden - we would highly recommend a stay!
Highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home in the heart of the forest! The decor is stunning and such comfy beds with excellent bed linen! It really suited our family of 6 adults and a 2 year old! We had the shops, pubs and station within a few minutes walk yet had donkeys and horses regularly at the front gate! This home was a lucky find and a real gem! You won’t be disappointed! If you want quality, this is it!
Furzedown was the perfect place for five friends to get together for a weekend of walking, talking and chilling. There’s so much to do in the area with both the New Forest and the sea close by. Great pubs and The Pig at Brockenhurst was a great evening out. The beds are extremely comfortable and there’s so much room with two lovely dining tables and large sofas for lounging. We loved watching all the birds coming and going too. I asked if anyone had any comments, the only one was…”can we have a toast rack for next time please” ☺️
Fabulous property in great location. Extremely well equipped kitchen and super comfortable beds. Only downside for us was there was only one bathroom for 3 couples as the other bathroom was downstairs in another bedroom. Also garden had to be accessed through downstairs bedroom which wasn’t particularly convenient with dogs.
Spent a restful couple of weeks. Small but compact with lovely views over field and the sound of the sea.
Popsy Cottage was a great place to stay, close to both forest and sea. The house was perfect all but for a few minor issues that can easily be rectified as follows:- 1. Loose floor tile in en-suite. 2. Shower heads in en-suite need de-scaling. 3. Portable mirror required on window sill over sink in en-suite. 4. Simpler instructions required for induction hob. The off road parking for two cars was a real bonus. We were able to walk to both Pubs in Sway with our dogs where we were made to feel very welcome and the food was great. We love the New Forest and have visited the area many times...more
Gorgeous cottage, in a perfect location for walking and exploring the new forest. Absolutely loved it, such a comfy stay with a cosy fireplace, and all the amenities you could hope for, really felt like home from home. Will definitely be returning.
Very comfortable stay , excellent location , easy to find from instruction given . Accommodation as advertised
Gins Barn is an idyllic place, stunningly well decorated, beautifully located and the peaceful setting meant we were all able to recharge our batteries. The grass tennis court was a bonus and the mooring on the jetty, perfect. Holly was so welcoming and friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. A lovely stay in this charming part of the world. Only slightly marred by the rainy weather! Many thanks.
A great stay Perfect for our larger group, good community areas loved the quiet location and hot tub was a hit, well equipped and comfy beds
A fantastic festive stay in a superb location ideal for the family and dogs . The roast beef done on the Aga was magnificent and we were worried about how to cook with it . Mary Bertys Aga cook book downloaded for £2.59 supplied all the answers. . The walks the pub nearby and every thing was perfection The only slight problem was the key lock but new forest escapes sorted that out immediately I don’t think we had the knack Thank you all so very much will return
Overall we had a very pleasant stay. The location is first class, and the house pleasant and comfortable.
We found it ideal for a family stay with 3 young grandchildren. The whole family could be together. Loved the old world charm of the cottage with modern facilities.
Lovely property, amazing location and views. Had everything we needed and was a very enjoyable stay thank you!
This ticked so many of our boxes! We really appreciated that some Christmas decorations were provided - so overall with our own too, there was a wonderful Christmassy atmosphere. We loved the little fairy lights everywhere which made it a magical place for children. The flexible layout made for relaxed entertaining of other family and friends post-Christmas Day (they like us were all wowed by the place). After a difficult year for us, ‘Sway Corner’ surpassed our expectations and delivered a perfect memorable Christmas. Many thanks to the owners and NFE for providing a relaxing venue and g...more
We had three wonderful nights at No.24. The accommodation was perfect for three couples. We walked into town and on to the marina on the first day stopping off in shops along the high street and for pint and snacks at the Ship Inn. We also had a lovely meal at the Haven Bar and Restaurant, well worth a visit. We booked a taxi each way with Lymington Taxis who were great and really good value. Lunch at The Trusty Servant in Minstead was great and well worth a visit. A fabulous few days and perfect accommodation. Would like to return in the Summer and use the garden to its full potential.
This is a lovely house and extremely well equipped. It's in a perfect location in Lymington. There are plenty of great restaurants and pubs on your doorstep. Easy access to the New forest and other coastal towns. Unfortunately, we had a mini heatwave during our stay and could not use the master bedroom which is in the roof space.
We had a really enjoyable stay at Nutshell Cottage. Well appointed with everything you need. Thank you
The Lodge is great for multigenerational family holidays with the large outdoor pool and grounds the stars of the show. House was well fitted out and comfortable and it's location perfect for exploring the New Forest and coastal towns and beaches. Some maintenance especially to the pool cover and upgrade to some rugs and chairs in the house would enhance the overall experience. Overall very good and happy to recommend The Lodge to other families of all aged. PS our little dog had a great time.
Lovely house to stay at as a base for exploring the New Forest. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms are very clean and maintained at a high standard. The kitchen seems well-equipped but it is a bit tricky to get used to the kitchen appliances as they are all very smart as they are digital and not mechanical. We spent quite some time to figure out how to use the hobs and never managed to find out how to use the microwave. The hot tub was a nice touch. We also tried to use the swimming pool but only managed it once, then struggled to close it off with the cover. The property...more
Spacious property in an ideal location, near to Lymington town centre. Lovely views to a large garden and out to the water. You are able to hear the road when sat in living room but we got used to that during the stay. Kitchen well stocked so we were able to cook in the evenings. Some of the interior could do with a freshen up like the sofa in the living room which had lots of marks. We were disappointed to arrive to a note telling us the house alarm had low battery and if it beeped to enter a code. This happened 3 times during our stay, once during the night. I would have appreciated a ...more
Anoush is a wonderful location, near the beaches and the New Forest. It's beautifully appointed and well thought through; hands down the best holiday home we've stayed in. Bring your swimming costume as the hot tub is fantastic and nestled in from wind & weather. The owners couldn't have been more accommodating to us and we would happily come back!
This was our second year of spending Christmas at Forest Cottage. Jane and Tom are excellent hosts, helpful and friendly, but never intrusive. Welcome hamper greatly appreciated. The cottage is comfortable and clean - the bathroom is a bit of a challenge to get warm, but not unmanageable. Facilities are fine - maybe a bigger frying pan or wok would be useful and a wider selection of knives, but again not a deal breaker. The location is fantastic - right on the edge of the new Forest; we love being able to walk for miles straight from the front door. The dog had the time of his life! Th...more
This was a very unique experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. Such a nice atmosphere. The entire booking from start to finish was friendly and efficient
The house and garden was beautiful and perfect for a family break with three generations. Recommend
