Loved - seeing the beautiful New Forest Ponies, Donkeys and the odd Pig roaming freely. The National Park is well managed, great for hiking, camping, cycling, horse riding. Great pubs, tea rooms, restaurants and lots of quaint thatched cottages? Disliked - the speed of some of the cars. The risk of accident to the ponies, the statistics of incidents and... More

There's plenty to do for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are lots of places to hire out bikes for a cycle through the quiet country lanes past the wild ponies and sometimes donkeys.

If you're in the area this is a great venue for adults and children alike and it's free to walk and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Take the dog and a picnic - you'll have a fab time.

We have returned from a wonderful weekend camping at this farm. Lovely, kind owners and staff who were very helpful. The site is clean and friendly and very safe for young children. We will return! Thanks Maxine for making our stay so good.

Really is heaven if you want a long weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Reasonably cheap too! Leave your phone at home and relax!
