Beautiful area, lovely cozy cottage. Perfect for two with a small dog. The got tub was to die for. The owners are very friendly and let us enjoy our own space. Not over looked.

The welcome scones & bottle of drink was lovely but the "Boot Room" was what really showed how much the owners wanted their guests to enjoy their stay.

We booked a last minute trip having recently received some bad news and both needing a bit of a break, coachmans cottage ticked all the boxes, a home from home, the welcomes treats of Prosecco and scones was a wonderful touch. Dog friendly too! We enjoyed a soak in the hot tub most days. The property is tastefully decorated and the perfect base to explore a beautiful part of the country with lots to see and do, plenty of places to eat with a well stocked kitchen. Would love to return!
Andy
Well thought out use of space , very clean and suited our need perfectly, in an ideal position to explore both the coast , forest and nearby towns Highly recommended
Laura
We had a wonderful stay at Coachmans Cottage. Its perfect for a couple because although its small, its very well-equipped for the aftermath of walks and beach visits; and its very private, allowing for a peaceful dip in the hot tub. Location-wise it was perfectly placed between the New Forest and the Bournemouth/Christchurch beaches and towns. We d idnt travel any more than 25 mins to have our days out. Barn owls, brown hares and deer seen around the immediate area.
Richard
The Coachmans Cottage is in a beautiful location and there was a lovely welcoming cream tea on our arrival. The owners responded super quickly when there was a problem. We did find the bed and sofa a bit uncomfortable. There was some great recommendations for walks and days out which we did use and really enjoyed.
Scott
Accommodation was in an excellent location between the beaches and New Forest. Property was in a secure location with good facilities. No problems at all with property. Excellent place to stay.

A slice of heaven - wonderful, tranquil setting. Wanted for nothing whilst we were there. Met the owners who were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Can't wait to book again......
Helen
What a great place to stay, very relaxing and like a home away from home
Carey
Outage in great location for getting to both New Forest and beaches. . Quite small and a little dark but well equipped with some nice touches - welcome Prosecco, scones. Additional things you might need - washing machine, iron, dog bath located in the adjoining boot room. Hot tub was good and small courtyard was very private, with access to bigger shared garden which was nice to sit in. Sofa and bed not the most comfortable. Dogs not allowed upstairs - open plan so used chair to block stairs
Karen
