“Lovely cottage, well appointed, wood burner keeps you very warm.”

Excellent layout inside the cottage and great to sit outside in the sun in privacy. Lovely base for cycling as its nearly all flat. Great produce at the village shop and excellent food and service at the Compasses Inn at the end of the Damerham Road. The Martin Downs great for cycling and walking, very child friendly. Highly recommended.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We have stayed in lots of cottages over the years and I must say that this is definitely one of the best.”

Everything was very clean and tidy. Everything we wanted was provided. The little kitchen is very well thought out and made cooking a pleasure. In response to a previous review I would just like to say that the extraction hood was clean and worked, the windows sparkled, the washing machine drawer was spotless!!! We all slept like logs every night and were warm and toasty - under floor heating being very effective. Beds very comfortable and the little twin room was perfect for our children (8 & 10) a little dark during the day but we weren't on the doorstep of the New forest to spend the day in bed!! Fantastically located for exploring and very private. WiFi / mobile service was a bit shaky but that suited us as we were enjoying our escape from normal life! We highly recommend these cottages and hope to return with extra family next time so that we can have both cottages and the centre area.

“Comfy, well-appointed cottage.”

Really enjoyed our short stay. Food at The Rose and Thistle was outstanding.
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We had a wonderful stay at Pippin in Spring half term.”

Frosty and bitterly cold outside, but with the underfloor heating the children were running around with no socks on inside. The apartment is thoughtfully designed, with lots of space, and a well thought-out kitchen. The area is fantastic for exploring, with masses to do, even in the dead of winter. We had lovely days out in Salisbury, Mudeford, the New Forest and Hengistbury Head. Would love to return one day, hopefully to take advantage of the adjoining property and middle room.

“We booked both Pippin and Russet for a family holiday.”

They had everything we needed for a self catering break. The games room shared between cottages was great for the family to wind down in after a busy day visiting the local attractions. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the rooms were easy to keep clean and tidy. The cake on arrival was wonderful. I would recommend both cottages to anyone. Thank you.

“Lovely location.”

The village is like a chocolate box photo. Both cottages were ideal. Will definitely recommend to others. The cake was rather tasty too. Thank you.

“Just what we were looking for - clean, comfortable, well equipped, excellent beds, plenty of hot water, underfloor heating, reliable Wi-Fi connection, the list goes on.”

\ Arrived to find that the owner Cathy had left us a delicious cake, lovely gesture to start our stay. A great deal of thought has gone into providing all that is needed for you to enjoy a carefree break in peaceful surroundings - you even have use of a games room next door with pool table and facilities to dine in if you wish or you can just sit outside in the private garden, enjoy a drink and use the barbecue provided.\ Highly recommended - so much so we've extended our stay and by the way, our Labrador couldn't have been happier in this delightful countryside location.\ Nigel, Angie & Chelsea (the Labrador ! )

“Nice location away from it all, great cottages with bonus of games room for communal gatherings between two cottages.”

Well equipped, would stay again. Suited both our 8 yr old daughter and 6 month old puppy, as well as retired in-laws next door!!

So nice to have found a location where you can chill out the minute you step through the door.

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful and tranquil village.”

A good, central place for visiting many attractions. Thank you for the delicious cake on arrival.
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“Four families came to celebrate our silver and my sister's Ruby wedding anniversaries.”

The two separate cottages and barn accommodated all 11 of us, with the use of two put-u-up settees. We used the dining and kitchen area of one of the cottages for the children to eat and it meant that there was still some living space for other adults wanting a retreat! The children loved to watch the farm animals, but were a little wary of the dogs! Each cottage is well equipped as is the barn, with TVs in the cottages but not in the main barn. The barn area has a lovely long table and benches allowing us all to share the days activities with our meals, but perhaps one small point is that sitting 8 adults on the sofa was a bit cosy! The position of the cottages gives you easy easy access to the sea and all that you find in the New Forest. The owner provided an additional service of a three course meal to end our celebrations, which I would highly recommend. This was a perfect retreat for a lovely family celebration. Thanks to Cathy, the owner for all your help to make this a most enjoyable stay.

“Had everything we needed.”

The fenced in garden was ideal for our dog and the games room was a bonus when we entertained friends who have children.

The property

Nestled in a great area of West Hampshire, close to the New Forest and on the border with Wiltshire and Dorset - this is a location where you can, literally, walk for miles and miles, enjoy some super local pubs and soak up an area of England with exceptional countryside.

About the location

FORDINGBRIDGE

Salisbury 11 miles; Bournemouth 18 miles.

Fordingbridge is a traditional Hampshire town on the banks of the River Avon, and offers a good mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, a small museum of local history and a display of original work by the artist Augustus John, who lived here for many years. The medieval Great Bridge, with seven graceful arches, is a major feature of the town. The immediate area is a wonderful place for visitors, with its beautiful scenery, nature havens, cycleways and welcoming people. Fordingbridge is conveniently situated for the magnificent cathedral city of Salisbury to the north, and the super seaside resort of Bournemouth to the south. The stunning New Forest National Park is only 1.5 miles from the town, where you can explore thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland frequented by wild ponies, and dotted with quaint villages and country pubs. Within a short drive is the magnificent Elizabethan manor house at Breamore, as well as the New Forest Water Park, and a trip to Beaulieu, home of the National Motor Museum is not to be missed. This is a great location for exploring this picturesque and interesting area.
