Come here for rough-luxe fun. Another 2 adults (tho' it best suits children) can sleep in the solid bunks next door. Next door, the gastro pub The East End Arms is perfect for eating out. Beach 1km. Lymington 3km. Dogs welcome.

Pig Shed, basic and lacking a few things

We had booked a short break in the New Forest, having not been before. The Pig Shed is a quirky little place. The lounge and bedroom can be separated by a curtain, and the bed is very comfortable. The log burner works well, with logs supplied. The kitchen area is very basic-the sink has only one tap and that's cold water, you have to either boil the kettle or go to the bathroom for hot water. The idea, I understand, is to be recycling things/reusing/eco friendly-but there was a lack of essential items, like a bread knife-there are old mugs and old plates, all recycled I'm guessing. The portable 2 ring hob was very old and we only used once as weren't comfortable using it. The microwave works well. The windows in the bedroom/lounge area are reclaimed metal single glazed , and only a few open. The bathroom is new and lovely, scaffolding planked walls and a unique shower area, with an electric shower-this room has a new window. The TV doesn't pick up any station at all, and Rachel did take us to the un-let cottage across the yard but sadly neither did that=only 1 station worked! You can play DVD's and there are various ones to choose from. The small garden area outside is gated and that was ideal as we had a dog with us. The pub next door sadly had very loud music and very expensive drinks! We were going to eat there but changed our minds-not very welcoming at all. Great pub-The Gun-a bit further away. Lovely walks and good access to the area.

Thanks Nicki for taking the time to send a review of your stay at The Pig Shed and the detail in your description. We agree and have been clear about things such as the kitchen and sink on our webpage and equally chat through with our guests at the time of booking. The TV does only work for DVDs & Netflix and we understand the TV to be fully working in the main Cottage. We have passed comments onto the owners regarding crockery and cutlery and they will look into and repair where needed. We hope you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the surroundings and a well earned & deserved rest. We are sorry to hear the pub had loud music, this is in all honesty such a rarity!! You were lovely guests and are welcome back anytime. Take care and very best wishes from all at New Forest Escapes.

A very enjoyable long weekend. Good location to get to from West London and whilst basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed.

Sayed for a weekend with the family , the first weekend we were allowed to go away after lockdown
A special little place. Fun & Unique.
Enjoyed the local pub, the walk to the beach and sitting in the sunshine.
