Very much suited to our family get-together. There were 11 of us, and all enjoyed the mix of walking in the New Forest, visiting Salisbury, and the proximity the excellent "Horse and Groom" village pub.
We had a fantastic stay for a Hen Weekend with a mixture of ages. The property was just what we wanted and we loved being able to have use of the hot tub. Location was perfect! Would absolutely recommend staying here!!
check-in was very easy with all the information given.Kitchen was spacious and fully equiped for our needs. We did spend a lot of time in the dinning room area of the kitchen as we found this more cosy than the main dinning room.It was lovely to have the conservatory.
The cottage was lovely. 9 of us stayed plus 2 dogs and there was more than enough room for us all. The surrounding area was peaceful and the pub on the doorstep was great and the food there was amazing. All in all lovely 5 days away for my husbands surprise 50th. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
Beck Cottage is a just gorgeous and so well managed and supplied. Everything was perfect for a long weekend from the welcome hamper to beautiful gardens. The Horse and Groom is literally a stone’s throw away with excellent pub fare. Highly recommend for a family or group of friends. Only complaint is checkout could be a bit later.

Beautiful cottage
Wonderful weekend for 9 adults in the New Forest.
Perfect location for exploring and 10 minute drive from the Aqua Park which was great fun.
The cottage has everything you need, perfectly clean and plenty of space for everyone. No issues with hot water despite 9 girls showering! Towels provided along with a welcome hamper.
A throughly enjoyable weekend in the most beautiful setting. Thank you! We hope to come back soon!

We were having a three generation family long weekend and the space in the house, grounds, play barn and immediate environment was excellent. The house was clean and the bedrooms were spacious. There was a nice welcome pack to greet us and plenty of local information available. The property was warm and welcoming when we arrived and we all had a very happy time there.
An ideal property in which to holiday with family and friends. Comfortably takes 4 couples and kids.

Stunning Property
An absolutely beautiful house in lovely surroundings. The garden is stunning and full of character. The games room is great and set away from the property so you can have music on and play games whilst others relax in the main house. The house itself is full of charm and there is plenty of room. The conservatory and dining room in particular are very nice additions. The surrounding area is nice with a pub a minutes walk a way and has the added nicety of waking up with horses and cows in the field next to the property. Highly recommended if you want a relaxing, gorgeous property in an idyllic setting.

Wonderful weekend break in the New Forest
The family (3 generations) loved Beck Cottage. There was plenty of room for eleven of us and it was extremely comfortable. We all felt relaxed as soon as we walked in the front door. It was all very clean but did not feel overly sanitised and orderly like some holiday rentals, it felt like you had just borrowed your best friend’s place for a few days while they were away.

Well presented and equiped cottage in lovely location, perfect for larger groups
We booked Beck Cottage for a long weekend for the extended family as a 40th birthday celebration.
The cottage is in a great location on the edge of the New Forest, which offers a range of activities and attractions. Members of our group visited Beaulieu, Lyndhurst, Lymington, Exbury Gardens, and the nearby Braemore House, and we did geocaching around the local village all of which we enjoyed.
We found the cottage to be be well maintained, equipped and nicely decorated, with plenty of space to accommodate our group. The cottage also has a nice large garden, good for when there is nice weather, and a games room for the not so nice days, although we used both during our stay.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely 50th Wedding Anniversary
We stayed for the weekend at this real, live chocolate box cottage - super inside as well as outside. A really beautiful garden and great location - immediate access to The New Forest.
The inside was furnished to a very high standard and was really comfortable. A very good lounge, perfect dining room, large kitchen and adjoining conservatory. The bedrooms were very comfortable and well furnished. A welcome pack of fizz and food was a nice touch.
Our anniversary dinner was provided by an outside chef near to where we live and he was able to 'finish off' well in the kitchen. It made for a lovely evening - canapés in the conservatory and dinner in the grand dining room.
There were lovely walks in the New Forest and the pretty town of Fordingbridge was nearby.
Unfortunately the pub at the end of the lane has now closed but this was not a game changer. There is a village shop a few minutes walk away although we did not use it.
Altogether a great anniversary weekend.

Just Perfect
What a beautiful place to stay. We visited for my dad's 70th birthday in January and he had the best weekend. There was plenty of room for us all and there were highchairs, stairgates, travel cots and even a bath seat for our little ones which was such a big help. Lovely welcome pack too. Caroline was a pleasure to speak to. The property and the grounds are just lovely. We didn't want to leave!

Beautiful well equipped cottage
We celebrated two special family birthdays at Beck Cottage. We were 8 adults 3 children and 2 babies. The cottage is perfect for a family get away, with comfortable bedrooms, and facilities, spacious downstairs living rooms and kitchen, and a lovely big garden with a separate games room. It is well situated for walks in the New Forest, and has a pleasant pub with a garden close by. Overall, a lovely cottage. We would certainly come back again if the opportunity arises.

Excellent in every respect!
My wife and I had a superb “Golden Wedding” weekend at Beck Cottage with our family - three daughters, their partners, four grandkids - making twelve in all. Beck Cottage was wonderful for such a three-generational gathering - immaculate, spacious facilities, a brilliant New Forest location, great games room - and an ideal garden for several competitive hide-and-seek escapades for four lively children! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any family - whether celebrating a significant event like we were or seeking a break from life’s pressures. Clearly a great deal of creative thought has gone into equipping the cottage - many congratulations to those involved!

Lovely New Forest Cottage, beautifully presented
We rented Beck Cottage for a long weekend to celebrate our son’s 30th birthday. Our party comprised 10 adults, 2 children and one infant. The cottage was perfect for our needs and is beautifully presented, with tasteful decor and excellent equipment. The garden is beautiful with lots of nooks and crannies for the children to hide in! Our two dogs were easily accommodated. The conservatory was a great boon for dogs and humans alike.
We did a fair amount of cooking ourselves and the kitchen was easy to work in. We also had a takeaway from an Indian restaurant in Fordingbridge and Sunday lunch at The Horse and Groom next door. We walked dogs in the forest and went on long cycle rides.
All in all an excellent stay and to be highly recommended.
