Lovely bungalow in the heart of the New Forest, very spacious, clean and a large and very secure garden for dogs. The beds and seating were very comfortable and TVs in all the bedrooms. Would love to return.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Brookside cottage. The location was great being just outside of Bransgore - after a couple of minutes walk we were amongst the wild horses in the heathland and surrounding forest. The cottage itself was well equipped with every utensil and kitchen equipment needed to rustle up something to eat. Each roRead moreom was comfortable and spacious with ample storage.

We have stayed in the New Forest about 6 times now and this bungalow was easily the best we have stayed in. Its a lovely bungalow, very clean, welcoming and everything was there that we needed during our stay. The location is idyllic and the garden is absolutely beautiful, our 2 elderly dogs loved it. Stunning stay inside and outside.

Comfy cottage. Very well equipped and exceptionally clean. The garden is very secure for dog, our dog particularly liked running around the paddock attached to the bungalow.

Lovely sized bungalow with all modern comforts, plus a large garden and bonus of adjoining paddock field use for our two dogs which was great for additional exercise. Lovely location, and close to many walking areas. Would definitely recommend, and the extra outdoor space certainly works well if you have dogs. Enjoyed our week stay here, many thankRead mores.

Gorgeous bungalow! The garden was amazing! All secure as I have an escape artist dog and he was perfectly safe in the garden. Beds are the so comfortable, as are the sofas, the road is quiet, gate posts are a little narrow if you have a larger car but the road is quiet enough you can take your time. 2 things the place is up for sale?! No!!! Please Read moredont sell it we want to come back next year! Also my dog has a complaint about squirrels in the garden! He loved sitting in lounge growling at them! Hide
