Perfectly positioned property for exploring lymington. Has everything that you need, so handy that there was hand wash, washing up liquid, tea/ coffee and left a pint a milk in the fridge! The property was spotless and bed very comfortable! It's positioned right on the cobbles which is bustling in the summer months. Visited the isle of Wight, the nature reserve and many pubs in the village during my visit and certainly recommend smugglers retreat for a cosy place to stay.
We stayed at Moonwood House for an extended family holiday, three generations and a dog. The house and gardens were stunning and very well equipped and comfortable. Eveything was great. We all loved it - so much that we had to chase the dog round the (large) garden to physially remove him when we he worked out we were leaving. The service from NFE was brilliant from the booking onwards.
What a wonderful find. Super spotless with loads of high quality extras-Nespresso machine, coffee percolator and Dyson fans etc. Fab open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with doors opening into the courtyard garden. Grove Gardens are close by which was a bonus and a great place for the dogs.
A fabulous find with great outdoor space and peace and quiet. It had everything we wanted and we will most certainly return
The nest is a lovely little place, perfect for 2 people. Although it's in someones back garden it's isolated enough that you completely forget about that! The location near to the station is incredibly convenient.
Had a lovely stay, with friends. Weather was amazing and the property was lovely. Only complaint was finding someone else’s knickers in the corner of the bedroom. Rest of the house was clean!
We had a very pleasant week at Treetops. Deceptively large, light airy rooms, all amenities and very nice welcome pack. Comfy beds. The outdoor space is especially pleasant with lots of trees and birds singing, front and back. The decking is enormous and a sun trap, great for sun bathing, relaxing, al fresco dining and barbecues. The owner (Vivek) was in contact before, during and after to make certain everything going smooth and with recommendations. The location is ideal for exploring the New Forest, visited Burley, Mudeford, Lymington and Poultons Park. All in all a great holiday, woul...more
Myself and two friends had a lovely stay in Nutmeg House in Lymington. The house is very central, nicely decorated and well equipped with a lovely outdoor space just off the sitting room. I’d highly recommend a stay here. It is rather tricky getting a car into the parking space but the parking clock supplied came in very handy for parking in nearby car parks. Definitely worth a stay here!
We all stayed here Christmas week with our son and daughter in law plus the three grand children plus three dogs ! .... Both main and the separate annex were finished to a high standard and were in very good condition and well heated, loved the beds plus the bath and shower rooms, all very modern and smart ....the huge annex was a godsend and allowed Mum, Dad plus us grandparents a little bit of space and privacy when needed .... Lots of local artworks adorn the wall in all rooms and this was a nice touch ... Very private location that overlooks the river estuary and we were surprised by how q...more
This was a special request from our daughter for our extended family to stay here again to celebrate her birthday. Surrey Lodge is beautifully furnished, perfectly located and extraordinarily well equipped.
We were a party of three related families. The accommodation was wonderful and James gave us a warm friendly greeting on arrival. The location stunning where we were able to enjoy the local places of interest. The house was very comfortable and offered entertainment for children and adults. Would definitely recommend staying at Broombank if considering visiting the New Forest.
Three of us and our two dogs really needed a break from stressful and demanding work. (Not the dogs, obviously!) Haley and Herbert provided us with a peaceful haven from where we could go for a walk along the sea shore or get in the car for a drive around the New Forest. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and beautifully equipped. Milford on Sea village is charming and welcoming with good places to eat or just sit on the village green and watch the world go by.
We had a wonderful stay at the Nook, unfortunately at the tail end of a heatwave. We were a little warm at night and were unable to operate the velux windows but this didn't really detract from our stay and I would recommend the Nook without hesitation. Everything was provided and the decor was beautiful. The little garden was also lovely. Location is fantastic, with loads to do and plenty of dining opportunities. The booking process was straightforward and the staff at New Forest Escapes could not have been more helpful.
High Tide is a stunning seafront house and is beautifully furnished with high quality, stylish equipment and accessories. Beautiful 'themed' cushions and pictures add a delightful finishing touch The upstairs lounge was perfect for our group of six, with an enormous comfortable sofa. There are also other 'cosy corners' to sit, including in the downstairs snug and at one end of the kitchen. We enjoyed a coffee on the large balcony on a sunny Sunday morning. The pool/air hockey table was fun and the sound system was great. You could just sit for hours looking out to sea. The bar was also a fun...more
We had a lovely stay at Oak Lodge and it felt like real home from home with all you could need. It was clean on arrival with good welcome pack and a few essentials.Given it was summer though the duvets were very warm for the temperatures we thought. On the first couple of days the WiFi wasn’t really effective at all , so made it difficult for us with also no phone signal to keep in touch with family /work etc and check on internet for places to go and book etc. I know it’s the new forest but we have never experienced issues before. Fab outdoor space to relax and the hot tub was ess...more
We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house, it exceeded expectations. We will be back :)
Had a lovely time at swallow cottage. Very well equipped and lovely and close to the sea. Nice long garden for the children to play in.
Great place - would be even better if we could have closed the blinds for real privacy. Lovely interior, close to the beach and very accommodating hosts. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely well equipped house in a central location, excellent for visiting other parts of the New Forest. We had a great stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fair Winds. A lovely modern property with everything you need on hand.
The accommodation was beautiful, clean and well presented l. The location was excellent and very close to town. A fantastic place to stay in!
What a lovely place! and Mark and Jo were friendly and generous. We enjoyed the space, it worked well for a group of friends and 2 dogs. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms well thought out and equipped with decent sized showers. It’s in a very central position and easy to get around from there. A great tardis like haven in the midst of lovely Lymington.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and could not have enjoyed better weather. We had a problem with an out of date CO/Gas alarm two nights running which I reported to Claire. I did feel that the accommodation was overburdened with instruction notices - 17 in the kitchen alone! It gives the impression that the owners think that their guests are really stupid as the majority of notices are common sense. Despite the fantastic weather we did not sit outside once because there was no shade provided on either terrace. We appreciate that the sea breeze could be a problem but pointless having fac...more
Little thought given to basic functioning. Two pots and two drying clothes for eight people! No spare bedding or towels. Overpowering freshners everywhere. No instructions for anything so wasted time and couldn’t make fire work. NO CAR CHARGER just outside socket on different level needing 15 metre extension. Parking difficult. No response to my email from Forest Escapes afterwards. Great location just a sense of meanness with facilities.
Highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home in the heart of the forest! The decor is stunning and such comfy beds with excellent bed linen! It really suited our family of 6 adults and a 2 year old! We had the shops, pubs and station within a few minutes walk yet had donkeys and horses regularly at the front gate! This home was a lucky find and a real gem! You won’t be disappointed! If you want quality, this is it!
The house was excellent in every aspect except the gardens which looked unattended and left to nature. I know the house is in the New Forest but I would have liked a little more of a welcoming garden, maybe a few flowers and weeds dealt with. Other than that we thought it was a beautiful house.
Popsy cottage was everything we needed for a few days break as a family with our 2 young children and the grandparents too. Forest walks from the village, train station a 5 min walk, through to other parts of the forest and the coast. Bus services also great and tested the route to Lymington which had a hail and ride route straight past Popsy Cottage's door allowing you to leave the car and explore the area. We loved Lymington harbour and lovely shops plus Keyhaven nature reserve and Hurst Castle fort with views over the Solent to the Islw of Wight a great bonus. We cycled from Brockenhurst o...more
We booked Little Nye alongside the main house Nye Creek. It was perfect extra space with easy access to the garden / hot tub / dining. Worth knowing that it is very close to the main house if you are booking separately. The bathroom for the main house is directly above Little Nye’s bedroom. Running showers and flushing toilets are quite loud. The bed in Little Nye is quite low and the bed is very firm. Very comfortable pillows and bedding. As a self-contained space, Little Nye has everything you need. Perfect location for the forest and the coast.
Fantastic location for exploring the local area and visiting New Forest, Isle of Wight and Milford on Sea. Beautiful area and great for bird watching. House was lovely and had everything you needed. Really nice garden too.
We had a wonderful stay at Ridge Cottage. We booked for 4 weeks and from the moment we walked in it felt like home. The house is lovely with 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with good showers. Downstairs is beautifully decorated and well laid out with everything you need. Outside is also gorgeous with plenty of chairs/tables and a BBQ. Our dog Rosie loved the big garden and although the weather was not always good we enjoyed the hot tub too. The house has lots of different areas to it which was great as my husband was working and my eldest son revising for his A levels. The gym became...more
There's lots to like about this place, the view from the top bedroom is amazing and it's so close to the Keyhaven marshes which is full of birdlife - we encoutered 71 different bird species in our week there. The bed in the main bedroom is also really comfortable, we got lots of much needed sleep. The other rooms were fine although the sofa wasn't the most comfortable but we spent most of the time on the top floor anyway watching the birds fly past the window. It was a warm week and it would have been nice if there was a ceiling fan in the top bedroom to help the warm nights. However we won...more
The main house is very comfortable with a beautiful, large lounge with a log fire where we spent our evenings relaxing and chatting. During the day we enjoyed sitting out in the sun on the garden furniture and using the hot tub ( the pool wasn’t available to use at this time of year) and the privacy of the large garden. There were a few things we weren’t happy with about the quality of the annexe, but the property manager was so helpful and came over to sort this out for us. The location is stunning and we had a walk over to Burley across the gorse and horse filled fields for a delicious pub l...more
Oceans Reach is a superb house in a great location for both the cliff/beach and the shops - both mere minutes away. Check out Bakehouse 24 for awesome coffee, bread, cakes and lovely staff. The holiday house was a real treat - ideally suited to larger groups or families. Southbourne is not a classic seaside neighbourhood so jot too busy and hectic and has a chilled vibe - the sandy beach is a delight. And you're close to many other nice areas and the forest. NFE office team very helpful.
Incredible property in the perfect location for our multi generational weekend away. Very quiet location but accessible to all the sights. We will definitely consider this spot again in the future
Had a fantastic stay at NYE Creek . Right from the booking stage nothing was too much trouble and people involved more than happy to help to ensure we had a great stay The house itself is fabulous ,so bright and airy , plenty of room for a mixed group of grandparents , children and dogs . The views from the back of the house are beautiful ,as is the garden , we loved the wild area at the back and watching the cows . Very short stroll to the sea front and great walks in all directions . Will definitely return .
Gin’s Barn is in the most magical setting in the New Forest. We loved being able to walk out on the pier over the estuary. The owners have done an incredible job of the interiors making it feel sophisticated, calm but cosy. It is full of beautiful artwork and unique touches. The house is spacious and it’s fantastic to have so much outdoor space. It was perfect for our family celebration and we had a wonderful weekend.
Incredible garden with gorgeous views, easy to spend hours sat taking them in. A really well set out house in a location that provides access to plenty of walks and bike trails. Highly recommend.
Having spent a long weekend at Wood Haven (Woodhay) Lyndhurst I have to say we were all thoroughly impressed with this unique self catering accommodation. Lovely setting, deceptively large garden. Great location with two pubs and Lyndhurst within walking distance. Accommodation is very spacious, extremely well equipped and exceedingly comfortable. A real find. Definitely looking to stay again
We had a lovely stay in this comfortable well equipped cottage, ideally situated for visiting Beaulieu, Lymington, Bucklers Hard and Lyndhurst. It was wonderful to see the ponies and donkeys wandering freely, and the cottage really is in a beautiful area. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with high quality appliances with ample crockery, cutlery and glassware. In short, it had everything you could possibly need.
We were two parts of an extended family, with four adults and five children. Two Sides Cottage was absolutely perfect. It was clean, well equipped and comfortable, but in a homely way and not so pristine that we worried every time the children dropped something on the floor. We loved the quaint layout, the garden was large and ideal for a lazy afternoon barbecuing and playing badminton, and we found plenty to do in the local area. New Forest Escapes were absolutely great to deal with and we really appreciated the personal service, with phone calls to check everything was OK (and to warn ...more
No 24 has everything you need to make your stay in a beautiful part of the world perfect: Spacious, stylish, and close to anything and everything you'd want to do. We've stayed at No 24 twice now and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!
Stayed here for 4 nights with grown up family. Great house in a great location. Has everything you need for a good break. House could do with a little TLC as almost every cup had a chip in it and the plates have seen better days. Only one bathroom door had a lock on it whilst the family bathroom door didn’t shut at all and the bath panel constantly fell off! Garden could do with a little more love and as it was so hot, it would have been great if the ice dispensing facility on the fridge-freezer worked. In-house info out of date with NFE info regarding WiFi codes and bins. Blind in one bedr...more
We had an amazing stay at The Lodge. The house and big garden are absolutely beautiful, with a warm, big pool. The house is very well equipped, we found everything we needed. The location is beautiful, peaceful and very close to nice walk trails. The only downside was the Internet connection, the WiFi was very poor, it was inconvenient as there was almost no signal in the house. But we had and amazing time with the family and dogs, we will definitely come back. We absolutely loved The Lodge!
Had a really lovely few days away on a family getaway at The Deer Lodge. The house was exceptionally well equipped, very comfortable and felt very homely. We loved relaxing the garden area and made use of the pool, jacuzzi, gym and games room. Everything was well thought through. The Deer Lodge is also in a great location for not only Lymington but exploring the New Forest and Dorset coastline.
Beautiful cottage in the perfect location for walking in the New Forest directly from the garden gate. Our dogs loved it as much as we did. Very pretty garden with seating. Comfortable, well equipped property. Good pubs and village shop. In good location for visiting local attractions. Definitely a place to return to.
The cottage was a perfect location to explore the new Forest. Parking facilities excellent and easy access to the Forest and coastal areas . The cottage has been tastefully modernised whilst maintaining its lovely character. Would definitely recommend to friends
Great location with plenty of parking on the driveway and opposite, within easy reach of the Isle of Wight ferry. We loved the house the upside down living set up works so well, upstairs is such a big social space with the well equipped kitchen, dining area and lounge. The outside space works really well, loved the hot tub and little details like extra towels for guests use. It was a great base for exploring, so near to the sea and the forest with good local amenities.
It could be so much more, tucked away setting, outstanding view the garden needed some attention but neglected
Absolutely fantastic property, really clean and beautifully kept. The hot tub was amazing and despite some suggestions from the literature not overlooked in any way at all. Big space for parking and two lounge areas to spend time in as well as a large outdoor decking. Great beds and fantastic children’s room. We will definitely return thanks again.
Just the three of us, perfectly comfortable and everything you need to have a break. Love the quiet seclusion and yet just down the road are pubs and restaurants. We will be back.
The day we arrived, after a 7 hour drive, we found the cottage very cold, no heating was, or had been on. In the welcome booklet it did say, not to touch the settings on the boiler, so I sent a message to the owners as this was to be our point of contact. Phoebe did come over about 10 minutes later. She asked what the problem was ( even though in my message, I had asked how to turn the heating on ) I said it was cold & could we please have the heating on. Her words to me were " Its June " It wasn't the response I was expecting, and I felt as if I was almost being told, you don't need the heati...more
