Wonderful stay

What a wonderful accommodation in a fantastic location. Our host kept in contact to make sure our stay was comfortable. Such a peaceful area and yet so close to walks in the New Forest. The surrounding towns were worth visiting. All I can say is that 2 nights weren’t long enough so need to return as soon as possible.

Oak Tree is perfectly situated in the heart of the New Forest for day trips or pleasant walks. Having never been before, this was just the peaceful and relaxing experience we all needed. Seeing animals every day and walking the forest, including amongst some of the oldest trees and giant red woods. Lots of amazing pubs all around with great food and Beaulieu Car museum and Palace close by. After a day of touring, the sunroom was such a relaxing space to have tea and reconnect with family. This is a beautiful home away from home.
Each morning walk was met with Donkeys grazing just steps away.

Superb cottage

We stayed here for a weekend break, with 3 adults, a 4 year old and 19m old. Communication with jenny and Iain was fantastic from the booking to check out. Check in was really straightforward and we were welcomed with a few gifts and personal note. The accommodation was clean, spacious and homely. They provided us with a travel cot and mattress, high chair, kids tablewear/cutlery, toys and games. All the beds were comfy, the location is quiet and peaceful we all slept really well.

Beautiful cottage, great location

Myself, my Mum and two sisters had a wonderful stay here. The cottage is perfect and extremely homely. It's in a great location as only a short drive to the local towns and beaches. We got our food (Tesco) shop delivered with no problems at all and got to see lots of wild donkeys. We would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend for others to stay here too. Thank you very much Jenny and Ian :-) xx

the whole house was clean and host very helpful.The conservatory was great to sit in. Location is great too.Only thing I would say is that if 6 adults are staying it probably needs another shower! The bathroom only has a tub and a handheld shower! We all used the en suite shower! Not a big problem and we managed. The bathrooms were very clean! The kitchen had everything you could want!

Thank you for your review, we're happy to hear that you all enjoyed your stay at our cottage. To address your feedback about the shower: providing a 2nd shower would mean removing the bath, and we do find that many of our guests enjoy a good soak, especially after a long hike in the New Forest! For this reason we would not change the layout of the main bathroom.

Daughters wedding weekend

The perfect location and a real home from home (but much tidier!). The moment we set foot in the cottage we felt relaxed and ready to make all the final preparations necessary. Jenny was really accommodating when we made our enquiry as we needed to be sure it was OK for the wedding car, photographer etc to arrive on the Saturday which was all fine. The cottage is quiet, spacious and very comfortable, it would make a perfect base for a longer stay from which to really discover all the New Forest has to offer. Thank you so much, despite one of the wettest weekends of the year we were able to have the ideal base to work from. Perfect!!
