THE GARDENS, GROUNDS & POOL
The main house sits centrally on the estate. There is a large, outside pool, with a spacious terrace to enjoy lazy summer days. From the terrace you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the beautiful surroundings of paddocks, fields, lawns, woodland and of course the visiting wildlife.
Due to the size of the pool, and our unpredictable English climate, we cannot guarantee the temperature of the pool. Despite it being heated from May until the end of September, a great deal depends on the external temperature, and how vigilant guests are with having the cover on when not in use.
For the summer 2024 season we found the temperature ranged from 24-27 degrees. In May and September this can be as low as 20 degrees, so please be aware, we cannot make any guarantees.
* Please note that we are NOT able to accommodate requests to heat the pool outside from October to May.
*Please be aware this property no longer has a hot tub.
Please be aware that there is a large pond in the grounds. Young children must be supervised at all times as this is not fenced.
There is a gate from the side of the property which gives access to the forest, a short walk away.
There is plenty of parking at the front of the property.

Eastwoods was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We booked for a special friends and family weekend and it was perfect in everyway. Helen was a fabulous host and ultra responsive and helpful. It is a very welcoming, comfortable and charming house and even with bad weather we got to enjoy the pool which is fabulous plus the area around it to relax. Thank you so much Helen - we had a fabulous time and can't wait to return.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and it did not disappoint, it’s a beautiful house, in a beautiful location. As we stayed in June this time, we were also able to make use of the pool. Perfect family vacation.
This house really worked for our extended family. We filled the place but there was plenty of room to either sit together and chat or find a cosy corner to relax in. We all loved it so much we booked again in August.
A wonderful place to stay - so much space inside and outside. Beds were super comfortable! Great location too - the little ones enjoyed being outside in the Forest. Helen, the property manager, was excellent - nothing was too much trouble.
The House was a perfect place for our family get together. Large bedrooms and plenty of room to all have space to relax. I highly recommend staying here.
We loved the situation, the pool was a great plus, three generations together worked really well.Minor plumbing issues did not spoil our enjoyment of the house,grounds or surrounding area which we explored.We would thoroughly recommend Eastwood for a family or group of friends.
What a great place to stay and make our home for the week.
Helen was so helpful and the property was spotless, pool was perfect and the views gorgeous , it exceeded our expectations in all ways. Thank you so much - we are hoping to come again😎
One of the friendliest and most hospitable properties we have ever stayed at. Beautiful grounds with their own heard of Deer!! Lovely big house with fantastic views. Perfect for family holidays, close to the coast and the forest.
We're a bunch of friends who have a weekend away each year and this was definitely one of the best. The house is beautiful and spacious, the location is idyllic and you have the added bonus of a fabulous swimming pool. Just perfect, thank you, we might be back.
Great experience from communication before, personal show around the house which was fabulous as it meant you knew how everything worked to the actual lively house. We lived the pool and the outside surroundings. All we could possibly need in a house for a big family. Definitely recommend
Eastwoods is a beautiful house in a lovely verdant setting.The pool was the best I have ever swum in.
All the family enjoyed it immensely.
Our welcome from Helen was so friendly and useful and we all appreciated the great welcome treats. Many thanks to Helen and all the people who keep the house and grounds so beautiful.Sue,Richard,Rosalind,Helena and Toby.
To say that the house was amazing is an understatement. The rooms were wonderful and our favourite room was the library, just so cosy. The pool was our family hub during the day and our grandchildren loved it too. We had a fabulous tour of the stables next to the house and everyone was so welcoming.
Thanks to Helen for the meet and greet and to Jo and Jasper (the dog) for hosting us.
We were also amazed by our nightly visitors of wild deer.
We will be revisiting Eastwoods and would highly recommend to anyone that would enjoy a home for a family for a week or two.
We booked the house for my mother’s 70th birthday celebration - so her partner, her 3 sons, their partners and grandchildren could stay together for the week.
The amount of open space was brilliant for the childre; the pool was well used, as was the croquet lawn. We enjoyed the different living areas which could fit us all in or provide quieter spaces when needed. As a base for walking in the new forest or exploring Lymington, it was perfect.
Helen was really great, she was helpful in the lead up to the holiday, attentive to our questions during the stay and provided a thorough handover at the start.
I highly recommend the property and we all had a fantastic stay.
Eastwoods was just perfect in every way for our annual family holiday.
We were highly impressed by the setting from the moment we first drove up and, once inside the house, by the sheer space Eastwoods has to offer (Ample space has been provided for storing coats, shoes etc as well as groceries in the kitchen area and there is plenty of wardrobe space in all of the bedrooms) The tasteful decor and beautiful soft furnishings made it extra special. The kitchen had everything we needed: the huge table was a delight to sit around for leisurely breakfasts, the Aga was well used for cooking and, on more than one occasion, for warming up locally baked bread and scones! The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and it was wonderful to wake up to such lovely views of the grounds and the wildlife. The pool is a good size for the number of guests, the steps make access easy for all and once you're in it is lovely and warm! We used it every day and eveyone- young and old+ had great fun.
Everything about the property, including cleanliness and provision of fluffy towels was of a very high standard.
Helen the property manager was very friendly and helpful throughout: during the booking process, showing us round and explaining everything we needed to know on arrival and checking in with us during our stay.
We can't fault Eastwoods in any way and we highly recommend it for a perfect stay in The New Forest.
Lovely house in a beautiful area. Clean with super comfy beds and plenty of bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen.
Fantastic pool with beautiful views around the forest. Deer roaming and two cute goats, apple and crumble to visit everyday.
The staff in the equestrian centre were super friendly and took time to show us around a fantastic experience for all of us.
Would recommend, thank you especially to Helen who met us at the house showed us round and sorted out a small problem with the Wi-Fi quickly.
The perfect house for a family looking for peace and quiet as well as the opportunity to visit good restaurants, beaches and local wildlife.
Big, comfortable beds; generous with towels etc; so much space in the house; a great Aga to cook meals on: great bathrooms; croquet; cricket; rounders; the huge incredibly clean pool (with steps which were great for little ones); amazing uncrowded beaches; super restaurants nearby (Noisy Lobster; The Haven; The Lighthouse); huge forest and grounds; horses to watch during the day; Swifts to watch swooping in the evenings; wild deer visiting; adorable pygmy goats to feed and play with…and wonderful, friendly and warm Helen who arranged everything, made great suggestions, responded to every questions (even inane ones about the wildlife) and brought her puppy to meet the children.
"It was a lovely house and I really enjoyed my stay there." Teddy, aged 10
"Thank you for the swimming pool. I loved it. When I jumped in it was brilliant. I loved the goats, they were really beautiful." Phoebe, aged 4
“ I loved Eastwoods and its amazing grounds- I also really enjoyed going to the beach, as it was so close to the wonderful house.” Nelly, aged 13
A long-delayed family celebration, Eastwoods suited our needs perfectly. A lovely family house, lots of room for everyone, plenty of places to eat and relax. Us grandparents really valued the master suite tucked away at the quiet end of the house. The pool was a strong reason to book Eastwoods, and it was used a great deal - lovely to have a pool of considerable size for a private home. Lots of walking within the grounds, wild deer and domestic pigmy goats. We had a very interesting visit to the stables next door too.
We rented this property to celebrate my father’s 95th birthday with the whole family. Helen, the manager, couldn’t have been more helpful in answering our pre-arrival questions and giving us a comprehensive tour of the house when we got there.
The house is beautiful, well-appointed and very spacious. The gardens have lovely views and the pool area was a huge hit with all three generations of the family.
There is everything you need in the kitchen and the beds are extremely comfortable- we stayed 4 nights and all wished it could have been longer.
Thank you for a wonderful break.
What an amazing property this is within some fantastic grounds. Helen was excellent from the moment we clicked add to basket to book the holiday until departure; she is an absolute credit to her team and to the equally lovely Jo the owner who we did not recognise unless she was on her horse! The grooms within the grounds were also so very friendly as were their woofers who visited us on a regular basis and were most welcome. Fab holiday had by all; thanks again to Helen for being you!
Celebrating our golden wedding at Eastwood’s couldn’t have been more perfect with all the family at the weekend and friends in the week.
Greeted by Helen who gave us a very comprehensive tour of the house and left us with scones, cream, flowers and wine.
Eastwood’s is so impressive and spacious that I spent lots of the first day getting lost! So much space for everyone to find a spot to read a book in peace if they wanted too.
The surroundings are stunning and so peaceful with a mile walk round the grounds. The pool was the star of the week with the grandsons in and out like yo-yos and so many comfortable chairs to watch the fun. We couldn’t have been luckier as the weather was just perfect it felt as if we were in a microclimate.
I would thoroughly recommend Fi’s afternoon tea from Lymington and the takeaway Tuesday night fish menu from New Forest Fish and Shellfish in Sway
