Fantastic cottage in the perfect location

The cottage is excellent and very well kept. The interior is modern and cosy. The location is great for visiting all the attractions nearby. The only downside is the bathroom being downstairs. But overall I would certainly recommend staying here.

Lovely cottage

The cottage is conveniently located about a 5 - 10 min walk from Lyndhurst high street. Well equipped, spotlessly clean. A really nice cottage to stay at in a lovely location. Communication from Lisa (the host) was great. Would definitely stay here again when we are next in the New Forest.

Lovely Cottage in Lyndhurst

Brackenberry Cottage is located in the heart of Lyndhurst and provides a perfect location for discovering all the New Forest has to offer. It is clean and comfortable with a lovely garden area to sit in on a sunny day. Lyndhurst itself is a busy town and the location is in a busy area but despite that we really enjoyed our stay and being able to walk to the HIgh St and Bolton's Bench was a bonus.

Perfect base for the New Forest

All the five star reviews for this place are completely merited. It was almost better than being at home. Its a cosy cottage that is smartly done up and has all the mod cons you need. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfy and there were books for the children. It was a tonic to come back to our holiday home after a day out in the sun and rain.

Overall the stay was excellent. Very comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen etc. Good communication from the host. Close to where we needed to be for an activity we were attending at the weekend. A couple of suggestions would be - for the kitchen- some form of scales and a measuring jug. The stairs- due to being a cottage was quite steep, some form of grab rail on the wall would be useful? Also- the bath is quite deep- to help getting in and out the shower- some form of grab rail in the bathroom would be ideal- and maybe a slip mat in the bath. .
