DAIRY COTTAGE. Delightful luxury rustic cottage nr New Forest and South Coast.



Welcome to Dairy Cottage, a luxury refurbished cosy one bedroom cottage that has been converted fom an old dairy, sleeping 2 plus small child. This lovely cottage is equipped to a high standard, oozing charm and comfort and offering a wood burner for the winter months. An ideal romantic retreat in the countryside with easy access to forest walks, beautiful beaches and quaint local towns and villages. If dates not available please see our other properties listed - Barn cottage, Shepherd’s Hut and Shepherd’s Retreat. Discounts apply for 7 night bookings. Please enquire for prices for 5 or 6 nights as we are unable to show discounts on this website.

From the entrance porch, which has a log and boot store, a door takes you to the hallway with one step taking you up to a wooden floored open plan kitchen/diner/living room with full sized cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, ample kitchen units, television dvd and log burner.

Also leading from the hallway is a door leading to a generous sized light bedroom with a lovely hand painted kingsize bed and ensuite shower room plus a walk in wardrobe.

Peaceful, spacious and ideally located
I initially came to the property by myself in order to work on a deadline, and then my partner came to join me for the last couple of nights. As a work location, I found it peaceful and it had good WiFi with a great Tassimo coffee machine as well as cafetiere, and a dining table big enough for my laptop and to spread my papers out with a nice view out of the windows. As a place to relax, the cottage is clean, comfortable and cosy. It is spacious and has lots of storage space, so would be ideal for stays longer than a week too. It also has a lovely log burner. The location is good. I did a few short walks around the local area, walking out directly from the property, and saw wildlife including birds of prey, deer, donkeys, horses and sheep. When my partner arrived, we travelled further afield by car. It is very close by (10-15 mins drive) to Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve and Moors Valley Country Park and Forest, with other New Forest locations not too far further afield, and Bournemouth just 25 minutes drive away if you fancy a change of scenery. Ideal - would definitely return!

Even better than the photos!
We had a perfect stay here. The photos really don't do the old Dairy (at the end of the barn) justice - the main kitchen/living room is plenty big enough and great that it seated 4 people as our friends stayed at one of the shepherd's huts so we could sit together indoors (at last!) as well as outdoors. The bedroom is huge and has a lovely dressing area too, and a lovely naturally lit en suite. It had the best shower we've come across in quite a while! Lovely hosts - we had a catch up then were left to our own devices - which was sitting in the sun with friends with a few drinks for most of one day! A perfect spot, lovely walks around too. We visited The Churchill Arms twice for dinner and enjoyed their quiz night on the Thursday - great fun.

Perfect Getaway!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay. The cottage was just as expected, it was clean and had good facilities. We enjoyed the peaceful, quiet location and was a perfect base for a couple of days cycling around the New Forest. Check in was easy, and the owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back!
