The cottage was everything we hoped it would be. I suspect weve been walking past this building for 35 years, and it was fantastic to stay there. Ive no doubt we will be back- the area is beautiful, with some fantastic walking, and this is fine base.

Orchid was a lovely base for our first visit to the New Forest, with multiple walks available directly from the doorstep. With ponies and donkeys by the roadside, deer in the trees and pheasants everywhere, we really were in the countryside, but only 40 mins from some of the bigger towns such as Bournemouth. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with sRead moreoft, comfortable beds and more than enough equipment to suit our party of three and the dog. This was our first trip to the area, and we will not hesitate to visit it, and The Coach Houses, again. Hide

The cottage is very charming, peaceful and just a beautiful place to spend time. The sitting room is so cosy and the beds are really comfortable. The setting is just perfect. The surrounding walks have been stunning this autumn and the amazing local pubs are an added bonus.
