Adjacent to one another and next to the owner’s home, they have been thoughtfully renovated, offering a good feeling of space with high vaulted beamed ceilings and open plan living space. Brook Barn has a cosy wood burner and Meadow Barn is accessed through the former stable/farmyard and has a very rustic feel and a unique carved staircase, made out of local trees and with iron railings to look like the branches of the tree! The first floor galleried bedroom area, with single bed, gives the impression of sleeping in a tree house!

This is a wonderful setting for discovering the New Forest, the area is abundant in wildlife, with deer, pheasants, badgers and birds and many scenic walks. The market town of Ringwood, with several restaurants, pubs, shops and leisure centre is about 4 miles, and there is also a brewery that offers regular tours. There is so much to discover in this area and the New Forest has miles of open heathland and woodland, where cattle and ponies roam, as well as being great for cycling, walking and riding. There are numerous picturesque New Forest villages, many of which serve traditional cream teas! Rockbourne is good for fly fishing and there is coarse fishing at Fordingbridge, as well as a water park, with various water sports including windsurfing and boating.
The properties are in a convenient location with road links to the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, and for a day out, why not visit Stonehenge or The Tank Museum at Bovington. They also have easy coastal connections to Christchurch Harbour and Sandbanks both within about 40-minute’s drive. Other attractions within easy reach include Beaulieu Motor Museum, Monkey World, Avon Heath Country Park, Moors Valley, and the New Forest Otter and Owl Park.

Great cottage and great time had by all.
Great cottage and great time had by all. Very clean throughout and everything you need provided. Only slight improvers would be more electrical sockets and improved wi fi but probably as good as can be in this rural and beautiful setting. Will definitely return to the area again as great for walks and our black labrador.

Lovely location- ideal for dog-walking (as long as you/your dog doesn’t mind cows and ponies).
Lovely location- ideal for dog-walking (as long as you/your dog doesn’t mind cows and ponies). Secure garden with handy covered area and hose for cleaning muddy dogs. Wi-fi was so weak as to be useless.

Lovely cottage.
Lovely cottage. Enclosed garden allowed us to relax while the dogs could play without escaping..
The cottage is a short drive to anywhere in the New Forest, so easily accessed.
Because this is away from pubs etc, an update to Netflix would be a welcome addition for the quiet evenings.

Excellent place to stay for visiting New forest, Brook Barn was very dog friendly, we loved the horses all around, downside we had problems with the boiler and outside light owner was away but got the boiler sorted, some things in the cottage are very worn and could easily be replaced, I think with a few small things being replaced the cottage would be worth the money, the cake and milk and flowers were a nice touch also treats for the dogs.

Beautiful, cosy and well-equipped cottage brilliantly located next to open countryside with excellent walks right on the doorstep. The rooms were all bright and airy, and the whole cottage was clean and fresh. The owner was friendly and welcoming, helping us to settle in quickly and easily. The garden was sunny and private and this really was the perfect base for our week in the New Forest; we'll be booking again.
