The stay was perfect! The hot tub was amazing. The hosts were great when we needed more logs and brought them straight away to our gate. Thank you for an amazing stay for new years and hopefully we will stay again.
Spent 10 days here and had a fabulous time - absolutely loved our stay in the Cruck Cottage and the New Forest! The cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Loved the location and garden too. Thank you so much for the special touches such as dog biscuits, logs, and eggs. We really enjoyed the pub too, were lucky to have a band there on our last night! Our stay was perfect and will happily return to this lovely place! Thank you New Forest Escapes for finding us the right fit!
We stayed here as a large family group of three generations. Everyone was enchanted by the character of the house, with all the quirky art, the fantastic main staircase and so much space. There are so many living rooms on the ground floor that it was easy for different groups to find their own quiet space when wanted. The kitchen/dining area was perfect for large sociable meals, and was very well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable, so much so I had to check out the brand of mattresses! The children enjoyed the playroom and the outside space, and the grownups ...more
Our second time at Seabiscuit property in Lymington and again - an amazing stay. The property is so warm and cosy with comfortable beds! Fully equipped kitchen and room for a large party to dine around the table. Great location in Lymington with 1 min walk to the high street / Market on Saturday. Covered parking space that is reserved for 1 x car for the property. We will be visiting again!
The service from New Forest Escapes was excellent from start to finish. Nothing seemed too much trouble and staff were always very polite, efficient and helpful. The property was delightful, stylish, comfortable and very interesting, with masses of space (we were a family group of 8 ranging in age from 3 years to 70) and lovely views across the grounds to the Solent. We loved all the artwork on the walls (most was for sale and much by Caroline and Nick de Rothschild, the property owners) and particularly enjoyed our visit to their Palais des Vaches art gallery a short drive from the rotun...more
We enjoyed our third stay at Moonwood . We live in the States so we use this home to have quality time with friends and family on our visits home . So many memories have been made in this spotless relaxing home . A local cook delivered us fabulous home cooked meals we enjoyed around the gorgeous table . Everything in this home is 5* .We look forward to returning next year
Awesome place. So luxurious, peaceful a truely beautiful stay. We will be back and wish we could live there!
We have stayed in several properties for Christmas breaks as a family, but this cannot be beaten. The rooms are clean and modern, whilst still having decorative touches that make it feel more like a home than a rental property. The kitchen is fully equipped, multiple plates, glasses, cutlery etc so that you are not constantly having to run the dishwasher between meals. Even rarer, there were many baking trays, utensils, serving dishes etc for those that love to cook. A second fridge was essential for Christmas and particularly appreciated. Sofas are stylish and comfortable, as are the bed...more
The apartment is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Everything was prepared perfectly for our arrival with the wood burner ready for lighting, a lovely gift of cake, jam and cookies and fresh milk in the fridge. Fantastic location in a beautiful part of the country. We rented eBikes for a day and Sunday walked along the sea front to The Gunn Inn in Keyhaven. Only request is a few more matches for the wood burner as we ran out. Thanks for a lovely stay.
We had a very pleasant week at Treetops. Deceptively large, light airy rooms, all amenities and very nice welcome pack. Comfy beds. The outdoor space is especially pleasant with lots of trees and birds singing, front and back. The decking is enormous and a sun trap, great for sun bathing, relaxing, al fresco dining and barbecues. The owner (Vivek) was in contact before, during and after to make certain everything going smooth and with recommendations. The location is ideal for exploring the New Forest, visited Burley, Mudeford, Lymington and Poultons Park. All in all a great holiday, woul...more
amazing weekend, beautifully house and location with super views and walks. we will definitely be staying gain
A very lovely apartment with everything you need to enjoy your break. Ideally located a few short steps from the high street on the ground floor makes this perfect for anyone with mobility issues. Some occasional noise from passing pedestrians as the bedroom window is right next to the pavement, but generally not an issue unless a very light sleeper. Had a small problem with the heating but this was highlighted and sorted by the owner so shouldn't be a reoccurring issue. The parking clock is a great asset though confusing what you have to do after the time expires. Tourist information didn'...more
My partner and I are and our small dog stayed in Whistlestop for 2 nights. It is by far the most comfortable and cosy stay we've had in a long time. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! Ciaran was a wonderful host - I highly recommend adding on breakfast for a cosy room service feel. We can't wait to return to Whistlestop and see more of what New Forest has to offer (if we can tear ourselves away from comfort!)
The reality was as expected from the description and photos. Well thought out accommodation to a high standard and we had a lovely stay. Comfortable for 8 adults. There really are NF ponies outside the front door! New Forest Escapes have been very helpful and communication from them was excellent, going above and beyond. Would recommend.
I booked this house for a family get together to celebrate my 70th birthday so it was important that everything was really good. It didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Everyone was amazed at the standard of cleanliness and luxury over and above the average rental/ holiday house.
We had originally booked for Victory cottage but there was an issue with heating so we were moved here . What a result Seabiscuit is a beautiful property well appointed with quality furnishings and everything you could possibly need for a break , it’s in a great location just off Lymington High Street . We had a fabulous time , would definitely recommend felt like a lovely luxury break .
We had a lovely time staying for a few days at Nutmeg House. It was clean and beautifully laid out. We enjoyed being near the High Street and doing some last minute Christmas shopping. We really appreciated the small details to make this home even more lovely to stay in: board games, books for all ages and pretty much anything you could want in the TV. Being able to control the heating with ease was also nice while it was colder. Diffusers in each bathroom, from a local company, was also a nice touch. The only issue we had was reversing to the very tight drive to park outside the house. We h...more
Amazing view, great location, very well equipped and comfortable house and responsive host. Perfect for our short getaway.
It was perfect. Warm, comfy and spacious house - we wouldn’t have changed anything. It was the perfect place for our family to gather to spend Christmas together coming from different places. Our dogs loved it too. Large garden for them to run in, woodland walks from the house, ponies, deer and wonderful hot tub ! Oak lodge was spotlessly clean and everything had been thought of. Jon was so helpful on Xmas eve when heating stopped ( easily fixed with new batteries in thermostat) loved every minute !
Beautiful discreet property in perfect location. Everthing we and our little dog needed for a break in the New Forest.
We booked here for Christmas and it didn’t disappoint. A beautifully presented house and annex with quality fixtures and fittings. There was everything we needed for our stay including spare dog poo bags if required. Waking up with the most glorious views was an absolute treat. Beautiful walks straight out of the house and within 15 mins you’re nearing Lepe. So glad we found this house, we will be back.
Great location. House like the Tardis from Doctor Who. Careful on the stairs - age matters! At the time of our visit, shame about the weather (TV not set-up for easy viewing). Lounge, kitchen, bedrooms, etc. modern and comfortable. Parking convenient for two small cars - thanks. Pathway to BBQ hut over grass, mucky / slippery! Family time to celebrate twin sons' birthday, we loved our time in the house, and with a next door pub! Thanks for this experience.
Wow, just wow! Everything was as described, if not better. Definitely exceeded our expectations and plenty of space for 8 people, along with hosting other members of our family who visited us over Christmas. The place was fully equipped with everything we needed, along with a picture perfect Christmas Tree. And there were some nice additional touches to make us feel welcome when we arrived. Can’t rate this place highly enough and will be our first choice again in future if ever we need to rent a larger home in the New Forest.
We had an amazing family stay at Greenwood. The house is spacious, character full and homely. Each bedroom is roomy with lovely views into the garden The games room/Annexe is an added bonus and fun to bring the family together. The garden is large and our dogs had a great time chasing around in a safe enclosed space The open plan downstairs is a lovely sociable area where we gathered and the other rooms provided quiet space when needed The setting of the home is exceptional, straight onto the forest with lovely walks on the doorstep and the village 8 min walk away Highl...more
The apartment is lovely, cosy and spacious. There was a great selection of snacks there and milk in the fridge was a nice touch. It’s a great location as it’s near the sea and the new forest. The directions were incorrect on the email we got sent so we got a bit lost but found it in the end. I think it should make it clear on the booking that this is like an annexe attached to someone’s house. The mat in the lounge is coming apart and leaves bits of it all over your feet etc. The kettle was full on scale and the toaster was filthy. But other than that we enjoyed our stay but think it was not v...more
This was our second visit to Furzedown and was again extremely successful. The property is spacious and ideal for a family gathering. The children loved the music/ play room and large garden. The various wildlife visiting the garden creates interest for all. Good location. The welcome pack is a nice touch.
The photos do not do this property justice. It's a beautiful house with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The hot tub, gym and games room provided that extra 'thing', especially for a family of 8. Combining this with lovely walks and pubs nearby, as well as a large number of 'attractions' so close, there was a lot to do. And amazing hosts too, so helpful. If there was anything we would change it would be to properly secure the property as our dogs did find some 'escape' areas. Just lovely.
This was our 4th stay at Popsy Cottage and the perfect cottage for Christmas. The location is ideal, a stones throw from shops, pubs and the open forest - some beautiful walks around Sway. The cottage is extremely comfortable and really well presented. A real gem. It has everything you need with a really homely vibe. The kitchen is fantastic! We look forward to returning again soon.
This is a wonderful house for a family celebration. Top quality kitchen and beautifully decorated house. We really enjoyed staying here despite a very rainy weekend. It was ideal for all our family including two dogs. Such a comfortable house which enhanced our visit.
We loved staying at Nuthatch over the festive period. The location is great and the set up was excellent. The only downside was a lack of curtains in the living room which prohibited a bit of privacy in the evenings. Loved it though a. D would definitely stay again.
We booked Little Nye alongside the main house Nye Creek. It was perfect extra space with easy access to the garden / hot tub / dining. Worth knowing that it is very close to the main house if you are booking separately. The bathroom for the main house is directly above Little Nye’s bedroom. Running showers and flushing toilets are quite loud. The bed in Little Nye is quite low and the bed is very firm. Very comfortable pillows and bedding. As a self-contained space, Little Nye has everything you need. Perfect location for the forest and the coast.
Location is fabulous and scenery is better than any we have stayed in. Well equiped with everything you need. Just found the decor a bit dated and in need of an uplift
Fern Villa is exceptionally decorated, comfortably furnished and luxuriously equipped for a brilliant family stay. The fully enclosed rear garden is excellent for dogs and the outside lounging area lovely at night with fire pit under the stars. Amazing to see the local ponies, donkeys and horses wondering on the road out the front. A nice easy driving distance to the best beaches and walking trails right from Brockenhurst to explore.
Wanted a break in the New Forest and this cottage met that desire. It was comfortable and homely with every thing that you need and more. Would happily spend more time there.
What a lovely warm, cosy and welcoming home. 3 generations enjoyed this lovely home with everything we needed to make our stay just right. 10 minute walk into Lyndhurst through the field and the New Forest just round the corner. Lovely shops in town catering for all our needs. Weather for October was very kind to us. I expect this home is even lovelier if you get a chance to sit outside on a lovely warm evening. It was very quiet so a nice peaceful location. Thank you to the owners and everyone behind the scenes.
This was just right for our family group. Well-equipped. Well placed for short, level walks by the elderly and infirm but with longer options for the younger and fitter. However, my son-in-law, who is somewhat disabled , and I, age 92, had some accessibility problems particularly with the staircase. The handrail is too wide to be held securely. It would help to have an additional second handrail of a smaller diameter which could be fully grasped. It would also help if one of the upstairs toilets was adjacent to a wall to which a grab rail could be fixed, to help with sitting and standing...more
Nye Creek was ideal for our small family and dog, although very good for large families also. The accommodation was excellent and so well equipped. The Gun was very close and the food was excellent there Access to local towns and villages was very good apart sometimes the traffic. Everything was clean and well looked after. The beds were comfortable, and the showers were nice and clean. The stairs don't have a banister just glass so anyone disabled would have a problem.I'm over 80 and didn't have a problem but I have no mobility issues either. We all had a wonderful time and would recommend i...more
Spent a few days pre Christmas with the family and had an excellent trip. The cottage was in a great location for some walks and next to a super pub that did a fantastic Sunday roast. Great customer service from New Forest Escapes too!
We had a lovely stay at Little Exbury with two dogs. The cottage is very comfortable and clean at the end of a quiet lane, with Lepe only a c. 3km walk/drive away, and nearby Exbury, Beaulieu and the rest of the National Park within close proximity. We hope to go back sometime soon!
We wanted somewhere that was suitable for a family celebration that was both relaxing and comfortable for ages 10 to 80 in a quiet location and in this respect Valley View ticked all the boxes. We loved the cottage annex which proved very suitable for our group and which matched the quality of the main house in every respect. The location is amazing and the younger more able members of the family enjoyed taking advantage of the beautiful unspoilt surroundings and saying hello to the ponies and donkeys who were never far from our front gate! Sometimes descriptions and photos provided by holid...more
We had a lovely week stay at Gins Barn. It is comfortable and spacious and in a great location. Holly and Julian could not have been more helpful and their dogs were very friendly! Sitting outside as the sun set by the river was a great end to the day.
Sway Corner is a lovely homely cottage. It was beautifully clean & well equipped. The beds were extremely cosy & comfortable. Very easy to walk into Sway for local shops, pub, railway station & into the Forest. For EV users there is a charger in the recreation ground opposite the cottage. All the New Forest Escapes staff were so friendly & helpful.
I arrived at the cottage after dark and the only sound was owls in the garden. It’s an incredibly peaceful and beautiful part of the country, with the New Forest right outside the door. Lovely cottage, really cosy and with a well equipped kitchen (and herb garden). The service from New Forest Escapes has been brilliant, they’ve been quick to respond to queries and helpful with my last minute changes. After 2 nights here I want to retire and move to the New Forest!
We had a lovely time at Two Sides Cottage. Great size house and garden, and comfortably fit 8 of us. Lovely quiet location. You do need a car to get to places as rural location without any footpaths on the roads. The cottage had a really lovely feel to it and rustic charm. A highlight was hearing the owls at night and seeing a variety of birds in the morning.
Burley Mews is a lovely property in an idyllic spot in the forest. It has a stylish modern interior with quality furniture and fittings. The kitchen is well thought out and well equipped. The bathroom with shower over bath again is modern and stylish.It is ideally situated for walks in the forest and the village of Burley is easily reached on foot , as is the The White Buck Inn. There are open views from the property. Our visit at the end of November coincided with a very cold few days and unfortunately the bathroom and living/kitchen area of the property were very cold despite the central ...more
We loved our stay in Nutshell Cottage. It was cosy and the decor was lovely. Everything provided in the kitchen. Location was great and parking really close by. However, twin bedroom is very small and the lounge seating isn’t enough for 6 people. There was 5 of us (adults) but we struggled.
A beautiful house with just about everything you want from view to position to providing all that is required to make your holiday as good as it gets.
The swimming pool was a lovely size in a lovely garden. We struggled with the downstairs bathroom shower which was low pressure and sometimes the power ceased altogether in the upstairs bathroom. There was an unsightly staining on the ceiling above the upstairs shower. There were not enough cereal bowls and dessert spoons for the 8 of us. The dishwasher filter was very dirty. The mugs on the shelf had unsightly tea stains which we had to hand wash to get clean. Generally felt that the bedroom curtains were rather dated and didn’t have blackout linings. It was very bright in the morning. The...more
A lovely house in a nice road, but please note the following... The two double beds could do with being a little larger - especially as this is a great 'couples' house The table sits 6 comfortably, but adding in the red 'additional' chairs made seating awkward for 8 - suggest to either change all chairs or provide a larger table The natural place to stand and put make-up on in the main bedroom is by the large window, suggest a good mirror there instead of the wall prints The games room is a little 'oversold' and 'under delivering' for adults - especially the pool table and small TV The...more
Beautiful little cottage. Everything you needed perfect place to recharge your batteries will definitely return one day.
The house was lovely and very much in line with the pictures. Kitchen very well stocked with basics and a few books and board games provided. Hot tub was great also and really warm on arrival. The only main downside was the very close proximity to the A337 Christchurch road which generated a constant traffic hum. I was particularly aware of it going to sleep and early in the morning. There are also some building works going on at the moment two doors away which generated some noise in the morning that woke me a couple of times. If it weren’t for the road noise, I’d consider going back anoth...more
The Boat shed has everything you need for a stay. The kitchen is compact but well equipped, the pull out bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of space to relax in front of the fire. The shower is also hot and good pressure. The secluded garden makes for a great spot for a quiet cup of tea. A fantastic find and I may well be back.
The property was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very well equipped and great location. Clean, tidy and the team were very efficient. Few feedback points - would be handy for outside lights to be left on for arrival, makes parking and finding lock box much easier. The Upstairs single toilet with sliding door blocks very easily - seems to be issue with flush/ pipes so we had to unblock it whilst there. The downstairs shower also floods very easily - water doesn’t drain quick enough
A really unusual place to stay. Great atmosphere. We wanted to do something 'different' for Christmas with the (adult) family - and The Old Church certainly delivered on that front! A few minor niggles: A bit chilly at times. The timed heating not quite on long enough at this time of year. We were able to boost the heating after contacting the property manager. Lovely kitchen but strangely no cupboards for storing non-perishable food (which was challenging for a party of six adults for best part of a week). Paid extra for the hot tub, which was good fun but no extra towels included.
