“Amazing cottage which served as the perfect base for an action packed, fun week away.”

Although we have been to the New Forest numerous times this is the first time we had been to this part of it (normally staying Brockenhurst way). The cottage itself was spacious, very clean and had any facilities you could imagine needing. Bedrooms were all very comfortable and nicely arranged. Due to the great weather we had we ate in the garden a lot and the owners even let us help ourselves to the fruit/veg garden so had fresh raspberries. The cottage location is only a short walk from the local village shop and pub, plus lovely walks right outside the front door from the green (where you can find ponies, cows and donkeys). We would highly recommend this cottage and really hope to return again soon.

- Mr Roberts, September 2020

Thank you for the amazing feedback in the Byways and for highly recommending the cottage. We look forward to your return. Owner relations
Mrs Bourne August 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay at Byways.”

The house was perfect for a multi-generational holiday as there was plenty of space and facilities for everyone so we never felt on top of each other. Having the separate snug and the large dining table were great. The location and outdoor space were also fantastic. The local pub served great food although the service was terrible. Perhaps a sign of the times rather than their usual standard.

“Beautiful house with plenty of room.”

Would have preferred gas cooker.

“Byways is a charming well-appointed house surrounded by delightful gardens including a vegetable plot.”

The city grandkids loved the novelty of picking ripe raspberries for breakfast! The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the standard of furnishings is very high throughout the house. Byways is ideal for a multigenerational family holiday. Mealtimes were relaxing as the five children in our group had their own set of garden furniture at a distance from the adults’ al fresco dining table! The village of Woodgreen is on the edge of the New Forest. It’s an ideal location for exploring the Forest and seeing the horses, ponies and donkeys on the nearby Common. Safe footpaths and cycle ways are close by and uncrowded beaches a short drive away. There’s a friendly village pub and a community store that sells great bread and local produce a short walk from Byways. The owners are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The tray of delicious biscuits, chocolates and conserves waiting for us on arrival was a lovely touch and much appreciated.

- Ms Russell, July 2020

We are pleased to hear your grandkids loved picking raspberries and that meal times were relaxing with the cottage facilities. Thank you for the tip on the local pub and community store! Owner relations

“This house felt like a home from the moment we entered it.”

We couldn’t have felt more welcome - from the welcome basket left by our hosts Jane and Tim to exceptionally comfortable beds, well equipped bathrooms and kitchen and a delightful garden. A real break away from a busy hectic world for our whole family aged from 4 months to the 70s. We would very much like to return.

- Mr Horne, October 2019

Thank you for your lovely comments and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Owner relations

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“I booked this accommodation for a stay with friends and their toddlers.”

This accommodation was perfect for families. I was very impressed with our gorgeous welcome basket. They provided tea, coffee and sugar which was fantastic!! The location was excellent and there were very informative leaflets making it easy to explore the gorgeous surroundings. As an added extra I want to say a big thank you to the owners who were able to send my daughter's special Peter Rabbit bowl to us after we left it! We were very grateful for their thoughtfulness and appreciative of how they would go the extra mile to ensure we had a lovely time. We will definitely be coming back and we've recommended it to all of our friends and family.

“Located at the northern end of the New Forest, this lovely family residence is perfect for family events.”

Spacious and extremely well furnished and fitted out it provided the perfect combination of a large kitchen and lounge with privacy when required. The garden is a delight as are the nearby (very) animals. There is a pub just down the road.

“My parents left yesterday after a fantastic week at Byways.”

The house really was perfection - clean, very comfortable, with every element they could need for the week supplied. The house & garden are beautiful & my parents immediately felt right at home and enjoyed reading the books in the library! Jane & Tim stopped by several times to ensure my parents were happy & had everything they needed. Jane & Tim could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. My parents are very grateful to them & for the use of their lovely home.
