The Studio
This was a lovely property in a beautiful location. The garden was great for the two dogs that we brought. The host showed us around when we arrived and said if we needed anything just to ring this was comforting. The only slight draw back was it could have been a little cleaner in fact there were a pair of knickers under one of the beds presumably left by a previous tenant!

Family
The accommodation/space was perfect for the family - 10 in total including 4 teenagers. New kitchen was great. Hot tub was great. Loved the garden. Wonder to finish the stay was a brilliant celebration meal from Gigi. Only slight disadvantage was the busy road. Thank you.

May Bank Holiday
Communication right from the start was excellent, couple of questions we had before we arrived were quickly answered and Timo and Steven went out of their way to make the entire garden Puppy safe before we arrived. The house and grounds are wonderful, spacious and spotlessly clean and tidy. Facilities are excellent with gas and charcoal BBQ, hot tub and all the cutlery and tableware you could need. Very modern kitchen. Loads of room for family we had 8 and a dog but room to spread out if you want time on your own. BBQ and patio area are amazing as is the conservatory. Ringwood Forest is just through the gate in garden. Fantastic location for New Forest. Hosts are available but left us to get on and enjoy a great family weekend. Cannot recommend Timo, Steve and the Studio highly enough.

Perfect for a family celebration
A well appointed, very comfortable and spacious property within beautiful mature gardens. Lots of different seating areas. The hot tub, sauna and plunge pool were a big attraction. Luigi was our on site chef for a special birthday dinner and the meal was superb. All questions and requests received quick and helpful responses. Enjoyed the close proximity to Moors Valley Park. There was traffic noise from Horton Road but that in no way diminished our enjoyment of the property. Highly recommend.

A beautiful Property
A lovely property, ideal for 11 of us from 93 years to 5 years old. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area was perfect for us all to be together. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The hot tub was great, and being able to walk out of the garden gate into the forest was lovely. The fire pit was an added bonus. The property is well placed for visits to the New Forest. Altogether an amazing family Easter.

A wonderful stay
A beautiful house, full of character and spacious well equipped garden. We all had a great time and loved the hot tub. Good location for New Forest and beaches. We really enjoyed driving through the forest and seeing so many horses. Very near main road so some road noise but bearable.

The property is set in fantastic grounds backing onto a woodland area perfect for walks and close to Moors Valley Country Park. We also had a great couple of meals from Luigi the local chef who cooked for us on 2 evenings.

Great experience.
We visited from the United States. There were 10 in our group and we had plenty of space. It has the look and feel of an old cottage, with all of the modern up to date amenities. The outside grounds were spacious and beautiful!

Fabulous cottage with loads of history and great location
The studio is even better than it looks in the photos. Superbly equipped with everything you need for a family stay. The hot tub is brilliant too. The location is right by Moors Valley Woods which is excellent. Lots of lovely walks. Timo made us feel very welcome and helped with everything we need and then left us to enjoy a great family weekend. It’s a great entertaining space. We loved it.

Welcoming
We arrived in the pouring rain and cold only to find Timo our host had lit two open fires for us. One was in the large hall /snug and the other in the beautiful open lounge dining room. We settled in and had a very relaxing weekend with our family. We all enjoyed the hot tub, which was hot and clean. We walked in the forest which was in the grounds of the house. I hope that we come here again, probably in the warmer months just so we can take more advantage of the very large garden. Thank you Timo for looking after us.

Lovely spacious cottage with Hot Tub - great location for families
We had a great time in this updated Cottage next to Moors Valley Forest - it has a big, spacious living area and also a conservatory leading onto the garden. Nice secluded sections to the garden including a fab outdoor dining area under a pergola. Hot Tub used loads by us all and Disco lights were a hit with the kids at night! Beds very comfy and the kitchen was brand new and very well equipped. Location is excellent for family days out - you have the moors valley country park right next door and you can access the forest from the end of the garden - we went running there in the morning, lovely! Loads of other stuff nearby - we had a great trip out to Mudeford Quay and ferry to the gorgeous beaches, and we visited the Aqua Park and had a fab meal at the Alice Lisle pub (service not great but location and food made up for it - lovely!). Timo and family were easy to contact and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for a brilliant few days!

Best of both worlds
The place is lovely, a beautiful holiday home we enjoyed our stay. Very nice grounds and location was perfect the forest just walking distance and the beaches all 15 mins by car so we had best of both worlds. Tim was always on call he communicated well at all times and is very friendly. The house had plenty of useful facilities. We will return

Dear Natalie, Thank you so much for the kind words - the house has been our family home for 117 years, and as you are one of our first guests to try the house in its revamped form, the positive feedback makes us very happy! We will continue to look for ways to make it even better. Thanks again!

Great place for a family get together and good location
The lounge dining room and kitchen are large and well equipped for a large group. The conservatory although furniture a little tired was all clean and led onto the well established garden. which is equipped with several different sitting places and hot tub which was well maintained and clean. Bedrooms were small with limited storage in some but all were clean as well as all three bathrooms. As a group of eight we had a lovely time and made use of the firepit (plenty of wood was available) for evening meals and drinks, some of us enjoyed the hot tub while the more energetic explored the woodlands that you were able to reach via a path at back of garden. The location was great for exploring local area, Wimbourne Minster with it's model village and railway was a good place to visit with some great places to stop to eat While Bournemouth and New Forest National park only a short drive away.
