A picture perfect cottage for 4, down a donkey-filled lane, only a 20 minute walk through the forest to a lovely wild beach or 10 minutes walk to a gastro pub. 10/10!

The perfect location

This was our first time visiting the New Forest and we couldn’t of picked a more perfect cottage. It was comfortable, homely, well equipped and the garden was lovely to sit out in. It was a great base to visit a lot of the local villages, to do some walking and the ferry to Isle of Wight was just 10minutes down the road. Would most definitely recommend.

Perfect place to stay with a small family and young children, a well appointed cottage with good outdoor space and in a great spot for exploring the new forest.

Loved our stay in Rowes Cottage. Quiet location, beautifully simple and stylish decor but still very cosy despite the slightly cool and damp March weather. The place felt comfortable and spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed for eating in, although lots of good restaurant options within easy reach (East End Arms particularly good). Great location for walks in the New Forest and just lovely to see all the ponies wandering around. Really easy to get to the coast too - we had fun watching kite surfers at the little Tanners Lane beach with Lymington and Milford-on-Sea also nearby. All in all a great place to stay.

Lovely place to stay with our toddler. Clean, comfortable and private. Ideal base to explore the New Forest - and the piano was a big bonus for us too!

The bungalow is down a quiet no through road, where ponies cattle and ponies roam. The bungalow has been tastefully modernised and is comfortable and clean. Lots to do in the local area in easy reach. No pets, which we were looking for.

We loved our stay in Rowes Cottage. The location was ideal for our first visit to this area, with such easy access to Lymington and the coast, the Isle of Wight Ferry, Beaulieu and Brockenhurst. It was peaceful and tranquil. The living room was a bright and uplifting space to be, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. Lovely to have a private garden too. Thanks for a great stay. We hope to return.

Beautiful little cottage clean, tidy, and everything you could need just like being at home. Coming from London I wanted a peaceful getaway which is exactly what I got! The only draw back for me was not having a car as transport is very limited, so I hired a bike from New Forest bikes in Lymington & I was away visiting a few lovely places. I really enjoyed my stay & it felt like home to the point of not wanting to leave. I highly recommend a stay at this lovely little cottage where the ponies and donkeys frequently visit!

The best thing was the location and space.
Our stay here was average. For the cost, it should have been spotless.
This cottage for the week was expensive and should have been cleaned better.
Unfortunately I had to clean the grill when I arrived. There was a dirty tissue under the bed on the floor, there was a lot of dust under the beds and there was a mark on the bed sheets. Also, the double bed was uncomfortable.
I couldn't get in for an hour when I arrived because I hadn't been given the key code although customer services was helpful when I finally got through.

It was way out in the sticks, never knew when you would find the road blocked by a collective menagerie of free roaming donkeys, horses, ponies, cattle, even in dark on unlit country roads. Walking routes flat along lanes, footpaths through woods down to zero amenity natural shingle beach. Spent a day without vehicle, and had good walk, with picnic. Pub walking distance down road has new landlord, who seems eager to please.
It is quite an unique area, even for an ex pat Welshman used to sheep everywhere. Driving is gentle and laid back in area, as you never know when a hairy quadriped might stroll into road.
Good batterie de cuisine at cottage, accommodation all on one level once you are in, two steps to front door and to rear. Sun to front in am and to rear garden in evening.
We used as base to go to SOTON Uni, see cousin in Portsmouth. Quite a trip but with motorway for part of route. Visited Historic Naval Boatyard ( HNB )Portsmouth, twice with Gift Aid year ticket. Cousin was able to gain access to HNB without paying just had a free Pass to walk around, walk in small boatyard and visit cafes. Lymington and driving area ok. Imagine very busy in peak season.

We stayed at Rowes Cottage as a family of 4 and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
A very clean and comfortable place to stay. The donkeys and horses walk past daily, which the kids really loved!
The kitchen has everything you need (including a Nespresso coffee machine).
The local East End pub is great and in walking distance. And many other great places are only a short drive away.
We would highly recommend this cottage.

Family of 3 (18 month year old).
The cottage is situated in a beautiful spot in the new forest, close to lovely walks / bike rides, pubs and Lymington / Southampton. There are wild horses practically on the doorstep and the cottage is also a very short distance from the coast.
In terms of the cottage itself it was incredibly clean on arrival and is finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout (excellent bathroom, Meile kitchen appliances, comfy beds etc.). It was also very well equipped and the high chair provided was a premium brand. We loved the small, but pretty garden as well and secure parking behind the gate was great!
Overall we loved our stay in Rowes Cottage and would highly recommend for couples or families looking for a break in a quiet location but with lots to do on the doorstep. Customer service was also excellent from the moment we booked with lots of excellent recommendations and quick responses to questions. Thank you team!
