    Beautiful countryside, clean and welcoming accommodation, abundance of walks for the kids and dogs
    The property is through two black gates halfway up the lane on the right. It is a spacious two bedroomed bungalow with a double bed in one room and two singles in the other. The living room and kitchen are in the same space but separated by the counter. Everything you need is provided int he kitchen. The whole place was lovely and clean and gave us and our little cat plenty of room. Outside of the property, there is a lovely quiet space with a secure paddock for dogs. It was incredibly quiet and if you sit on the veranda, great for looking up at the stars. There are many, many walks that you can take straight from the house, just turn right out of the gate. The village is small but has a large co-op and Tesco express, along with a few pubs that serve good food. It is a fantastic place to take pets and kids with small touches to make life easier for dog owners. Make sure you look through the book that previous visitors have added ideas on walks and places to visit. We found some ideas using this. Overall, the location, property and facilities were excellent and we will definitely be staying there again. The bet part about this place is that if you stay there you are helping animals as it is run by a non profit, local Animal charity https://animalsvoice.org.uk/
    Maybe a new showerhead would be welcomed, but Everything was fantastic really.

    We booked a second stay on our first night!
    Absolutely brilliant bungalow which far exceeded expectations! Much more spacious than the photos give it credit for. Very clean and well equipped. Extremely quiet with the exception of the cows behind us (which we loved). We booked for the outdoor space for our dog and we were not disappointed! Plenty of dog equipment available for us to use. We were also allowed to host a small family gathering which we really appreciated. Great little area too; managed to do a few activities nearby which suited us. It seems like the hosts really take feedback onboard and try to improve; for example, I brought our own fan after reading reviews about it being too hot but the bungalow already had a couple of fans in different rooms when we arrived. I also couldn't find a problem with the beds which came up a couple times in the other reviews too - we all found them comfy. We felt really lucky to have found this bungalow and we already consider it "our" holiday destination which we will certainly be returning to at every opportunity! Consistently good WiFi (important to our tween). Gorgeously dark nighttime; I got to see shooting stars as it turned midnight for my birthday! Below feedback is just constructive criticism for potential areas of improvement; didn't bother us at all given the bargain price we got it for this time around.
    There were some conflicting instructions regarding dog etiquette; there were signs up saying no dogs on furniture but the welcome folder stated dogs were allowed on the sofa as long as the blankets were used. Our dog treats the floor like lava so we let him on the sofa with blankets and hoovered the sofa before we left (I haven't heard anything to suggest this was a problem). Dogs aren't allowed in bedrooms which I would've preferred to know in advance as our dog is used to sleeping in the same room as us so we could've taken time to prepare him for this had we known. The living room furniture wasn't the most comfortable with two large adults, a tween and a large dog but we appreciated it isn't a huge space and it does have a dining table squeezed in. The Smart TV was a bit hit and miss as to whether the apps would load but we got there in the end. We couldn't find the dog poo bin so left our dog poo bags in a carrier bag next to the other bins. Extremely minor detail but it would have been nice to have some complimentary fuel for the BBQ but we appreciate this property is run by a charity and we were able to get our own from Lidl. A little bit sad that prices have gone up since our original booking but understand the need to raise money from this property (and it didn't put us off re-booking at the higher rate).

    Lovely location, some limitations on facilities.
    The location was lovely, down a quiet lane but easy walking distance into Fordingbridge.
    The shower was not very clean and could do with updating.

    Very good
    A wonderful place for a visit to the New Forest, especially with dogs.
    The accommodation is in a quiet location but within walking distance of Fordingbridge. The kitchen was well equipped and all the little thoughts on how to make the accommodation user friendly with dogs was fantastic.

    Had a most enjoyable break. We will definitely return in the near future. Thank You
    The site is ideally situated on the edge of the New Forest. The property has secure grounds which was ideal for our pet dog to run around.
    Only one minor suggestion. It's a shame there was no freezer compartment in the fridge.

    Amazing location, will return
    Amazing location, love the wildlife surrounding the bungalow. Feel very safe and secure. Best place I've stayed in the New Forest. Looking to book again.
    The kids next door jumping on their trampoline looking into the bungalow, not the owners fault but last thing you want when chilling in the beautiful bungalow, luckily they didn't do it for long.

    Perfect!
    Booked at the last minute, and so glad that we were able to stay here. A beautiful quiet location with every need catered for. A perfect place to have a break from the madness of life and restore the soul. It was such a pleasure to know that our dogs were safe with no escape and plenty of room to run around.Lovely views, peace and quiet, many birds of nature and fresh air!
    Would have been a great asset to have a small freezer for storing food.
