Reviews
We had such a perfect stay for my dad’s 70th. Lisa was really helpful and replied to and questions we had instantly. The house was amazing and such a great layout. Would love to stay here again one day
The most perfect location for a family weekend away. A beautiful cottage inside and out. Modern but traditional styling with great attention to detail and lots of small touches. We stayed with 6 adults, and 3 children under 4 and the cottage was perfect for our family. We all had a great time and can’t wait to come back one day. Communication before arrival and whilst we were here was fantastic, with speedy, helpful responses. Thank you Lisa!
We had a lovely stay at Lisa’s cottage! It was spotless, cosy, and well-equipped — perfect for a family. The garden and thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend!
We had the most wonderful stay at Rectory Cottage in Calmore and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and full of charm, with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The location is fantastic, offering a peaceful countryside feel while still being close to local amenities and great places to explore. It was the perfect base for discovering the New Forest and surrounding area. Waking up to the tranquillity of the surroundings each morning was a real highlight. What truly made our stay exceptional was the attention to detail throughout the cottage. The furnishings were comfortable and welcoming, the facilities were excellent, and it was clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a space where guests can truly unwind. Every room felt warm, inviting, and thoughtfully equipped. The hosts were outstanding, friendly, responsive,
my friends and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb near the New Forest. The place was spotless, comfortable, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect for exploring the area while enjoying some peace and quiet. The host was absolutely fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always quick to respond. They really went above and beyond by leaving me a Colin the Caterpillar birthday cake along with some lovely treats to celebrate my birthday. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made our stay even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay near the New Forest!
