We had a fantastic stay here. The hut was spotlessly clean and modern with lovely furnishings and decor.
The location was fantastic and allowed us to visit everywhere we wanted to within a lovely short drive through the New Forest.
Jenna was a brilliant, attentive host and help us to ensure we had a brilliant stay, We hope to come back again one day.

Small very nice, lovingly furnished house. Very clean and well thought out. Ideal for two people, a little tight for three. We enjoyed the terrace and the garden very much. Very nice contact with landlady Jenna.
