Forest Escape Reviews

Laura

We really enjoyed our stay, everything was spot on. The place was peaceful and comfy. Our reactive dog was surprisingly calm, which was a huge bonus!

Sophie

We stayed at this cosy cottage, but found it a bit let down by the location-no footpaths nearby, which wasn't clear when booking. The stair gate across the bedroom door was a bit of an annoyance since we don't have a dogand it could've been taken down. Overall, it felt like decent value for money, but nothing spectacular. Just a fair stay, really.

Alex

Really enjoyed our stay! The place was comfy, hosts were friendlyand the hot tub was just perfect for unwinding after a long day. Highly recommend!

Emily Parker

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Liz and John really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, which made all the difference. The secure garden was perfect for our dogand after a long day exploring the New Forest, relaxing in the hot tub was just what we needed. The deck chairs were great for soaking up the sun or enjoying a drink at sunset. Really enjoyed our time here!

Sam

We had a fantastic stay at Forest Lodge! The place was super cosy and spotless, making us feel right at home. The bed was incredibly comfyand the hot tub was a real treat after long walks with our dog Charlie and days exploring around. Liz, Johnand their team couldn't have been nicer or more helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Their friendliness really made our holiday special. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great hosts!

We stayed at this charming lodge and loved how handy it was for exploring the New Forest and nearby coastal towns. There are some lovely pubs close by, which was a bonus. The lodge itself felt super cosy, with everything we needed. The outdoor space was greatand the hot tub was absolutely the highlight-such a relaxing way to finish the day. Definitely hoping to return soon!
