Communication from Jo was excellent throughout and we were treated to a really early check in. A welcome pack of wine and chocolates were very much appreciated.

The walk to Beaulieu to visit the pub, cafe, shops and tearooms is well recommended. Bucklers Hard is a must, the walk is lovely along the river and through the woods. Take a river cruise, look around the historic buildings and have lunch in Henrys bar. Baileys Hard is a wonderful spot for a quiet and relaxing break with only a short drive to Lymington. Hide

Wonderful weather and plenty of bird seed meant we saw different species on the balcony each morning. Including Nuthatches, Marsh Tits, etc Though the squirrels do raid the seed unless you are outside. Property clean, light and airy. Shower was powerful enough on the first setting.

Located at the bottom of a long and bumpy track, it's not the easiest place to get to, however it's worth the effort as it's a real cabin in the woods.

We had a lovely holiday in this comfortable cottage. The deck was a great place to sit out at any time of day. Its sunny in the mornings and dappled shade for a lot of the day which was perfect in the very hot weather. It was quiet and a very comfortable place to stay and I would definitely recommend it.
