The cottage is cosy and comfortable, very well equipped and the log burner warmed the house in no time. With 5 adults and 2 large dogs we coped very well with the size of the property and the local pub which is dog friendly was great but the food is AMAZING!

Had a wonderful few days at The Wood Shed, incredibly cosy and comfy. It is in a beautiful location with lots of walks through the countryside and and little towns around. It is a great base to explore from. Would recommend getting a bag of logs for the fire from Abby as they were far bigger and better than the ones I bought from Aldi.

A fantastic base from which to explore the New Forest. The Wood Shed has been decorated beautifully throughout and has every comfort we could have asked for, it quickly became a real 'home away from home' for the week. The owners were fantastic, and everyone we met on the farm were absolutely lovely. Our kids really enjoyed seeing the tractors, horRead moreses and cattle nearby, and we loved our evening walks. We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends! Hide
