Stayed here in early summer and it was heaven. Fantastic walks from the site through forest, lawn and very quiet country lanes. Ask Mark for directions to the pub, it a lovely walk for lunchtime visit. Mark had mown pathways through flower meadows to aid access to forest. Just beautiful! Foolishly we let the sat nav lead us the final mile and couldn't find the site as we approached from wrong direction. Mark very kindly came and found us, turned us round and he and his lovely mum gave us a great welcome. The pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys and ponies were all delightful. When the wind was in the wrong direction, there was some road noise but this did not spoil our visit. If you want to visit the New Forest but don't want to get caught up in the traffic jams, then this CL is PERFECT!
