Eastwoods was just perfect in every way for our annual family holiday. We were highly impressed by the setting from the moment we first drove up and, once inside the house, by the sheer space Eastwoods has to offer (Ample space has been provided for storing coats, shoes etc as well as groceries in the kitchen area and there is plenty of wardrobe space in all of the bedrooms) The tasteful decor and beautiful soft furnishings made it extra special.

The kitchen had everything we needed: the huge table was a delight to sit around for leisurely breakfasts, the Aga was well used for cooking and, on more than one occasion, for warming up locally baked bread and scones! The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and it was wonderful to wake up to such lovely views of the grounds and the wildlife. The pool is a good size for the number of guests, the steps make access easy for all and once you're in it is lovely and warm! We used it every day and everyone - young and old+ had great fun.

Everything about the property, including cleanliness and provision of fluffy towels was of a very high standard.

Helen the property manager was very friendly and helpful throughout: during the booking process, showing us round and explaining everything we needed to know on arrival and checking in with us during our stay. We can't fault Eastwoods in any way and we highly recommend it for a perfect stay in The New Forest.

Lovely stay again such a peaceful location beautiful area we love staying here, hosts are lovely and Helen is very helpful. Highly recommend!

The perfect house for a family looking for peace and quiet as well as the opportunity to visit good restaurants, beaches and local wildlife.

Big, comfortable beds; generous with towels etc; so much space in the house; a great Aga to cook meals on: great bathrooms; croquet; cricket; rounders; the huge incredibly clean pool (with steps which were great for little ones); amazing uncrowded beaches; super restaurants nearby (Noisy Lobster; The Haven; The Lighthouse); huge forest and grounds; horses to watch during the day; Swifts to watch swooping in the evenings; wild deer visiting; adorable pygmy goats to feed and play with…and wonderful, friendly and warm Helen who arranged everything, made great suggestions, responded to every questions (even inane ones about the wildlife) and brought her puppy to meet the children.

"Thank you for the swimming pool. I loved it. When I jumped in it was brilliant. I loved the goats, they were really beautiful." Phoebe, aged 4

“ I loved Eastwoods and its amazing grounds- I also really enjoyed going to the beach, as it was so close to the wonderful house.” Nelly, aged 13

"The Hideaway was the perfect getaway from our busy careers. Helen was amazing giving local recommendations and the brownies on arrival added a special touch. Would definitely stay again to explore more of the Forest!"

"Had such a wonderful week! Beautiful cottage, and Helen and Jo are both lovely and really helpful.

Thank you very much for having us. We would love to come back again soon!"

"Helen is the perfect hostess. She answered my queries promptly and helped me through my first AirBNB booking. It was great to meet her in person, on arrival - very reassuring. The cottage was beautifully presented and standards were high. It would be a pleasure to deal with Helen in the future."

"Enjoyed our stay, close enough to amenities but had a feeling of being out in the countryside. We walked into Lymington centre in about half an hour. The Hideaway was very comfortable and had everything we needed during our time there. We look forward to a return visit in the future."

"A wonderful place to stay - so much space inside and outside. Beds were super comfortable! Great location too - the little ones enjoyed being outside in the Forest. Helen, the property manager, was excellent - nothing was too much trouble."

"Lovely little cottage for our first Airbnb experience. Close to the coastal walk with a pub on the way and close enough to drive elsewhere. We hired bikes at Burley and went to the beach at Highcastle, both ~20 minutes drive away. The kitchen had what we needed to cook with, the cottage was clean and the process was hassle free. A fantastic 3 days, thanks!"
