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
We absolutely adore Seabiscuit and will probably visit again, this was our third stay and it didn’t disappoint. I have lowered the score slightly for cleaning as there was the very stale leftovers of a loaf in the bread bin and dirty trays in the oven. Apart from that perfect.
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
What a beautiful stay we had, 6 girls for the weekend and all I can say it was perfect in every way !
We Stayed at MoonWood for the New Year celebration and my daughters birthday. We are a family of ten aged from one year old to 79 years old. A very comfortable home and the Spa Swimming tub was a great success.
Awesome place. So luxurious, peaceful a truely beautiful stay. We will be back and wish we could live there!
We stayed in Hayley and Herbert's flat because we had to move out of our nearby house due to building work, so we weren't really on holiday, but flat is so lovely it felt like a holiday! It's comfortable, very spacious and beautifully furnished, also well-equipped and spotlessly clean. It's also in the perfect location for enjoying Milford - a stone's throw away from the beach and close to lots of lovely cafes and restaurants. Hayley gave us a warm welcome and was helpful but not intrusive throughout our stay. And makes a lovely cake!
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
Originally had booked in for a different place than whistlestop but due to factors out of our control, New Forest Escapes were instantly in touch to inform us of this and had offered us alternative accommodation. They stayed in contact with us and there we settled on Whistlestop. They went above and beyond for my partner and I to celebrate our 9 year anniversary. New Forest Escapes also offered us a gesture of good will for the inconvenience which we used towards our favourite cuisine, Italian none the less, where the restaurant (Alberto’s in brockenhurst) were also so accommodating to help us...more
amazing weekend, beautifully house and location with super views and walks. we will definitely be staying gain
Perfect in every way, quality appliances, beautifully decorated, great location and so cosy during a winter break 10/10
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
We stayed at The Bend for a big birthday celebration. The booking process was easy and we were given lots of information prior to arrival about the house and information about the local area. The house is absolutely amazing and there was plenty of room for 12 adults. The kitchen is so well equipped and the house has absolutely everything you need. We had an amazing weekend making lots of memories in a beautiful house.
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 !
We booked a weekend away for an 80th birthday with our family. We wanted something fairly local to where we live as grandchildren needed to leave Sunday evening to get home for school/college. They were very impressed with the games room and made full use of it. The weather was mostly wet all weekend so they were kept busy. We were impressed with the space of all the rooms and the house was well equipped with everything we needed.
Beautiful discreet property in perfect location. Everthing we and our little dog needed for a break in the New Forest.
we stayed here for my husband’s surprise birthday, having self catering properties ourselves i was so impressed at the standard of the rooms and bathrooms every detail is thought of , the kitchen is well equipped and we used the gas BBQ even though it’s January! Good location for walking into town and visiting forest . i myself have taken home some tips from here to improve my own self catering property ! Highly recommend
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.
Everything at the accommodation was fantastic. My only criticism is if it’s going to be advertised as baby/ child friendly which it was I would recommend a fire guard around the fire.
What a beautiful cottage in the middle of stunning countryside. Even the rain couldn't ruin the views. The cottage is well equipt with everything you could need , Comfy beds and beautiful en suites. Even a bath with a view. The horses and guinea fowls were great to watch. The fenced garden was perfect for the dogs. The perfect cottage and location.....we will be back.
The perfect property for a get together with 9 old friends. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the main living area on the 1st floor - very warm and cosy - and light and airy - felt a bit like being in a tree house!
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.
We have just spent four nights at Popsy cottage with our dog. The house is lovely, very comfortable, clean and had everything that we needed. We particularly enjoyed the log fire. The New Forest is a short drive away and the local shops and pub the Hare and Hounds are walking distance. Would happily stay here again. NFE were easy and efficient to deal with and Claire the property manager was prompt and helpful with our queries. Overall very happy with our stay.
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.
One of the best houses we have stayed in. Cannot fault house or service from company and even the weather was good!
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
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.
This is the second time that we have stayed at Sway Corner. It is a perfect place to stay to enjoy the New Forest with the added bonus of having a train station, shops & pubs within walking distance. The cottage itself is well equipped & the beds are very comfortable.
Our long weekend for an 80th family birthday here was perfect. Feeling nice and quiet at one end of Pilley but also in walking distance of the community shop for any last minute supplies. It was nice to see the New Forest ponies from the window and some early colour in the sweet garden. The cottage was well furnished with too many lovely touches to mention really. I particularly liked the luxurious throws and wall hangings and oh so many books, both on the local area, especially walking, and very many novels! Also thanks to Jane and Tom for the 4 pints of milk, wine and biscuits. My older pare...more
Had the most wonderful stay. The location is superb and ideal for getting around the forest with the high street on your doorstep which is handy for anything you might need. The house was spotless clean and the decor was gorgeous- very homely and comfortable. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay Thank you very much.
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
A comfortable cottage for the family and our grand daughter lived the dolls house. Sofas in the lounge a bit tired.
Always a lovely place to stay for great forest walks to the north and beachside strolls to the south.
We have just returned from an amazing 7 day stay at Deer Lodge. The facilities are of a very high spec, outstanding cleanliness and a high level of customer service when required. Situated in an ideal location we would highly recommend and I'm sure we shall be returning. Thank you.
The property was very spacious, although weather wasn’t good it had a view that I could imagine would be pretty in the nicer days to come. We found the housekeeping not that great as there were cup marks on bedside tables, thick dust on the lanterns, fake flowers, under the sofa and on the sideboards. The sofa was covered in stains as were the carpets, rugs and the kitchen curtains were splattered with food. It did put us off as not feeling that the property was clean made us uncomfortable.
Beautiful little cottage. Everything you needed perfect place to recharge your batteries will definitely return one day.
White Gates is a wonderful cottage with tons of charm. Very comfortable -- excellent beds, shower, kitchen etc. -- and a beautiful yard with lots of space for kids to run around. Very easy check-in and out. The location is lovely, although the walk to the beach is a bit farther than described, perhaps because some of the public footpaths seem to have been blocked off with barbed wire (unclear why). Still very doable, but more like 45 mins walking at a decent pace. Overall had a wonderful stay!
We absolutely loved this place! Beautifully compact, toasty warm, fabulous location that felt tucked away, yet so close to amenities (particularly the large M&S food, which is a short drive away!). The layout is very cleverly thought through, the combination of log burner & electric heater kept it toasty warm. It was very peaceful and just what we needed to escape from’ real life’. When we couldn’t work out how to operate the outside lights the New Forest Escapes provided absolutely first class service - I felt incredibly well looked after. Surely the biggest compliment of all is that we would...more
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.
