Ideal location. Pub a 3 minute walk with fabulous food and service. Great walks straight from cottage. Easy to walk to Lyndhurst 15 minutes and Boulton Bench 20. Easy access toother places - secure garden with horses out the front - parking etc The house is tired and needs some updates and new bedding. However it did not ruin our stay but should be done for cost. The host was fabulous and did deal with queries and put right issues. Great welcome basket too.

Lovely cottage

Nice area with good eateries nearby, property was a little neglected in parts we felt and could do with some TLC e.g. garden furniture and cleanliness of dishwasher etc.

Absolutely perfect

Ideal location, picturesque view looking across to the church. Comfortable beds, great for self catering. Exactly as described. Plenty of room. Easy to find. Would stay here again and highly recommend. Host was very helpful and kindly allowed us to check in early as we had just arrived in the UK from Australia and were so tired after our long flight.

Relaxing break

Overall stay was great, property is old style but this is not a major issue. Lovely set up downstairs, bedrooms are a good size. Mattress in the smallest bedroom is very squeaky so we didnt use that one as only 4 of us but if there was 6 that would have been an issue. Had an issue with heating not working upstairs but it was sorted, owner sent a key but we had already got it working. Would stay again, location is great 2 pubs in walking distance

Second visit, gorgeous area

Enjoyed our holiday, the area is truly beautiful waking up to ponies standing in front of the property. Would just make some suggestions. Three ceiling lights in lounge are out, the lights in the dining area flicker constantly clearly a minor problem I’m sure. Light in fridge also out. These are minor issues and I mention them as constructive criticism. Lisa the owner is lovely and keeps contact throughout your booking.

Super location, clean and tidy, just needs some TLC

This property is brilliant as a base for the new forest, local walks, pub and Lindhurst. There are all the modern facilities, oven, dishwasher, washing machine and tunble dryer. The house isclean but does really need updating as overall there are lots of stains and wear and tear. The garden was very untidy and overgrown. As we were out every day we werent too bothered. The shower was very tricky as its under a sloped ceiling so being 6 foot 2 i had a tricky time. The Tv signal was also very patchy but again we only watched a little after the kids went to bed. We gave everything a quick hoover and clean before leaving but the vacuum cleaner was dreadfully underpowered but hopefully it was ok for the owner. Overall 4 stars, just needs some updating and redecoration.

Lovely place

The cottage is in a nice quiet village just a short distance from Lyndhurst. The three double bedrooms are nice sizes the is bathroom adequate but could do with being updated as there was mould in the bathroom and the shower difficult to use if you are 6ft tall as its over the bath and the ceiling slopes. The kitchen has everything you need and the outdoor space is great for sitting in the sun but the garden needs trimming back, but all minor details. Overall we enjoyed our stay at The Nook and its a great location to visit the New Forest.

The Nook

We just arrived home after a lovely long Easter weekend stay at The Nook in Emery Down, just outside Lyndhurst. A lovely cottage just as described. Such a fantastic location, in a quiet setting of Emery Down village but able to walk to great pubs there and in Lyndhurst. We would definitely recommend this property and area.

Thoroughly recommend

Emery Down is a lovely village with great pub, the New Forest Inn, within easy walking distance and great food and atmosphere. Lovely welcome pack from Lisa of milk, wine and bread with starter sachets of butter and jam. Everything you need was supplied. Cottage was clean and cosy, but beware there were different floor levels within the premises which may not be suitable for young children or eldery. Great base for exploring the New Forest. Hope to return soon.

New Forest cottage

This house has maintenance, and equipment issues (you couldn't cook for 6 people), and the bathroom is poor. Towels poor. There is only seating for 4 in the lounge. Also on a busy corner with traffic noise in peak times. Walks round Emery Down are lovely and we enjoyed them very much. The Village pub is also good with hearty food offerings!
