It was a good location for us as we were travelling to and from Fordingbridge. Location is near a busy road but I have to say this did not affect the quality of our sleep at all, we slept soundly.
Very clean, great in room facilities. The shower was a little small but can't be helped given the size of the room - and this had everything we needed within it.
I stupidly hadn't made a note of the code for the key lock and discovered when we arrived, very late, that I had no mobile signal and hadn't saved it in a tab. Very kindly, someone found the code so that we could get in. Would advise making a note of the code!
We had a great stay and would return.

Place was immaculate, my fiancé was overly pleased with the cleanliness and overall appearance of the room. Including the makeup desk, which had a heat pad for straightners and curlers. Beds were comfy and clean, the host clearly take pride in what they do and keeping their guests comfortable throughout their stay. I’d happily stay again. I’d messaged the host prior to ensure my little one had a cot which was then provided with the room along with a blanket. Overall facilities within the room were great and meant we could have proper food for tea. Rather than a pot noodle. 10/10 thanks!

Marvellous!

Fabulous stay - loved it!
Breakfast hamper was absolutely wonderful, though we couldn’t eat it all.
Plenty of parking. Key code entry gives more flexibility as to arrival times, which suited us as we were spending the day and having dinner with friends so didn’t arrive till late.
Brilliant one night break, will return without a doubt, and have already recommended to friends.

Easy to find and easy to access, with everything you need for a short stay (microwave, fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, hairdryer, etc.). It's a straightforward drive to Ringwood town centre where there's ample parking at the Waitrose/Sainsbury's carparks, and the town has a number of cafes and bakeries. Also very close to Moors Valley County Park, which is a great wood and open space.

Excellent stay

Excellent stay for our trip to The New Forest. The room was cosy, had everything that was needed from table n chairs, two comfy chairs, very comfy bed and pillows. Iron and board, towels, wash flannel, all wash/cleaning equipment, mini cooker, toaster, pint milk in fridge. Everything was perfect. I would say though that coyld have done with a better iron as it didn't seem to iron properly. Apart from that the stay was excellent. Would definately recommend.

Very clean, spacious, modern room for two. Lots of little nice touches, like there was a pint of fresh milk left in the fridge for us on arrival, disposable earplugs provided to block out your snoring partner/friend, extra bath towel in wardrobe just in case. Beautiful surroundings.

The property is located in a secluded location with short drive from local amenities. We really liked the surroundings and it was easy to check-in. Would definitely stay at the place again and recommend to anyone looking for something different other than a typical stay at a hotel.

One night stay

It was a one night stay, we received instructions the day before on how to gain entry to the property via a keysafe,
The room was very clean and tidy and had a small kitchenette that came in very handy,
We had a lovely continental breakfast delivered warm to us in the morning,
We had a really nice time

Very clean and welcoming. Attractive rooms, excellent breakfast.
The only slight down side is getting out onto the road at busy times. The site line to the right is a bit short and some of the commuters don't understand what 40 mph means. Trim the bushes a bit? But it is my favourite place to stay when I'm working in Ferndown

Quiet, comfortable stay with great service.

Stayed a couple of nights whilst attending a wedding nearby. Marcus is a great host - warm welcome and happy to help with suggestions on local walks, booking a taxi, etc. Room was spotless although small - if you want to relax in your room for any length of time then book the larger room. Very comfortable bed and very quiet being at the back of the property away from the road (which isn't noisy overnight anyway).
