Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at this charming, well-equipped gorgeous cottage. It is walking distance to all the local amenities and has some great restaurants that are walking distance, The George in particular has great food and atmosphere. What really makes this a wonderful stay is the charming garden - you can really see that love and nurture that the hosts have put into the garden over the years, it is beautiful. I loved sitting in the sun room or terrace reading my book in the evenings. Would thoroughly recommend the property and look forward to coming back soon. Fantastic hosts and Shane is very responsive and helpful. Thanks again for making it a memorable stay.

Wow!
We have stayed in a few guest houses recently. I have to say, this is probably the best place we have stayed at in terms of quality of accommodation. This time we wanted to avoid using the main "B&B" website, as they appear to be getting more and more greedy, so we looked for alternative sources, and found Weir Cottage. Shane really knows how to host, he has thought of everything possible in order to make life as functional and as easy as possible so guests can just get on and relax or do what else they want to do. The cottage itself is gorgeous and absolutely pristine, honestly, not a speck of dust anywhere. It's *extremely* well kitted out with functional and useful furnishings and implements/equipment. The king-size bed was as comfy as you can get. I really really struggle to think of any improvements that could be made, and I honestly can't think of anything that could be done any better. There's loads of kit in the kitchen, the IT/AV is as good as you will get, there's loads of games for kids & adults, the furnishings are extremely practical, and the place has a great modern, yet homely/cottagey feel to it. And, the local town is really really nice, and it's just a stones throw away - it has all you need there. Shane's communication is exceptional - again, he knows what it means to be a host, and a proper one at that. There's no way 5 stars does this cottage and experience justice. I'd love to just book it for 3 months straight and live here for a while. Highly recommend

Excellent stay at Weir Cottage
Really enjoyable stay at Weir Cottage for the May bank holiday weekend. The accommodation was great, very well appointed and comfortable for the three of us. The outside space is beautiful and obviously a labour of love. Fordingbridge is well positioned for exploring the New Forest and the beaches around Bournemouth so we couldn’t have asked for more. Shane was a genial host, his knowledge of the local area was very welcome as we had never been to this part of the country before. Would definitely recommend a stay here, we will certainly be back.

Had a fantastic stay at Weir Cottage. Shane, the host was very welcoming and friendly and we even had a fresh loaf of bread from the bakers and some milk upon our arrival. The cottage was beautiful and had a great mix of technlology without losing its original charachter. The garden is absolutelyvstunning with a pond, a river runjing yhrough and a weir to walk around. I went with my 3 year old daughter who loved running around in the garden. The location is also perfect. Just 30 mins drivr from Bournemouth and just a coiple of kiles from the New Forest. The high stret of Fordingbridge is just a 2 minute walk away. Perfect throughout.

Fab weekend away
We had a fabulous long weekend at Weir cottage and loved every minute. From the easy parking (essential when travelling with a baby!) to the well stocked, clean, well furnished cottage, to the wonderful views in the fantastic garden our time there was perfect. We very much enjoyed sitting on the decking in the evening listening to the birds and wildlife. Would definitely come back!

Perfect for our family!
Our stay at this cottage was absolutely lovely! Shane was very helpful and ensured we were sorted out and settled in. The bottle of bubbly was a very nice touch! He also provided a fabulous list of things to do and where to eat. We enjoyed our lunch one day in the stunning garden in the back, and loved how close the cottage was to lovely restaurants. Will 100% book again next time we are in the area!

Outstanding thatched cottage in Fordingbridge
The cottage is immaculate, well appointed and in an excellent location on the edge of the New Forest. There are lots of pubs, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away. Every detail from the flowers at the front door to the heated towel rack was designed for the comfort and convenience of the guest. Shane was a terrific host and didn’t miss a thing. We will definitely return on our next trip to England.

Beautiful relaxing stay
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. It really was home from home. We didnt need for anything. The cottage is stunning and the gardens absolutley breathtaking. We were so lucky with the weather on our first day and able to sit outside in the wonderful gardens. Even the rain on our second day didnt spoil our walk through the beautiful forest. Your helpful advice and directions were fantastic. The beds were super comfy and the linens just beautiful. We would not hesitate to stay again. We had a wonderful relaxing break surrounded by amazing wildlife and nature. Thank you so very much.
