Old Avon Cottage Reviews

Emily Carter
We had an amazing stay! The house is beautifully decorated and super comfy, with thoughtful touches like robes and toiletries. The location is perfect for exploring the forestand the hot tub was just what we needed after long walks. The hamper and welcome card made us feel really cared for. Honestly, if it's available, just book it - you won't regret it!

Sam
We absolutely loved our stay at Old Avon Cottage! The place is cosy, with a lovely garden and great surroundings. The hot tub was a bonusand walking the nearby paths was so peaceful. The kids enjoyed visiting the horses and cowsand the local pubs were charming. We felt really welcome and would definitely come back!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. The amenities were thoughtfully designedand the hot tub and BBQ were ready to use, which was a lovely bonus. The garden was well maintained and secure for our dog, so we could relax without worry. The property was spotless and spacious, with three double bedrooms. The only downside was the location, as it wasn't very pram-friendly with a one-year-old, but we kind of expected that in the New Forest. We did find a lovely local pub to visit, which was a highlight!
Jamie
Charming little cottage with friendly hosts, definitely worth a visit!
