Honeymoon heaven

We booked to stay here for our honeymoon. It’s a really special place to us as we got engaged in the New Forest whilst staying at this property back in 2022. We always love staying here, Andrea is such a lovely host and we love all of the animals. We look forward to coming back soon.

A lovely tranquil setting for the cottage just inside the New Forest. The cottage had everything we needed for a 5 night stop and really enjoyed being surrounded by various animals and birds. The cottage was comfortable with a nice separate outdoor area to relax. Conveniently located for the Southampton Docks from where my wife went on a 3 night cruise.

It’s a very pretty location with a few divas next door (the sheep!) they love a rich tea biscuit and will make sure you remember them!!

Beautiful rural location

Myself, my partner and my daughter have had the most wonderful week staying at this property. We couldn't recommend it more to anybody who would like to enjoy farmyard scenery. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed spending time with all of the animals onsite and Andrea is extremely welcoming. It has been a truly wonderful week and we cannot wait to do it all again next year during summer time. 5 stars all round! Thank you for such a wonderful week

Lovely weekend break :)

Stayed for 3 nights just for a short break in feb, sadly it happened to be the weekend storm Dennis hit so couldn't do the walkin we would have liked to. Very lovely cosy little cottage very clean and looked recently done up. Was lovely to close the curtains and forget about the weather outside :) had a lovely dinner on valentines day in the green dragon pub just down the road. It was lovely waking up to the sound of the cockeral crowing and donkeys shouting for there breakfast. Looking out ova the fields and seeing the emus right by the window was lovely. Would definitely come back again 👍🏻

Need to make changes

Need to update things. Cooker needs to be changed, pretty old and unclean. Microwave glass plate does not fit, so does not rotate, also was not clean inside. Mugs were dirty and needed washing. Glasses were not clean. My husband dropped his watch under the bed! Don’t think under the bed had been cleaned in years!! Lots of debris!! No mirror apart from in the bathroom. The owner had about five dogs, so this meant lots of dog muck on driveway! So overall, would not rent again.

Tranquil

We very much enjoyed our long weekend at The Old Dairy. Being able to watch donkies, emus, sheep, ducks, a pony, horses and cats from the comfort of the kitchen and living area was a real treat. The weather was dreadful (late November) but the property was cosy and well located for getting to NT properties and the odd short walk before the rain set in again. It was lovely briefly meeting Andrea and Ian - many thanks for a memorable stay.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time at the Dairy Barn. Andrea and her husband were wonderful hosts and the accomodation suited us perfectly. The animals are an excellent bonus - especially the dogs (who are very much missed by our two boys) The location is brilliant for exploring the New Forest. Bramshaw has a friendly little village store, which is in walking distance and stocks all the essentials. We also tried out both the local pubs which are just a little walk further on - both lovely! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We wouldn't hesitate to book again.
