If you like plain boring places with magnolia paint and a complete lack of character and soul then don't stay here. If, on the other hand, you like charm, character, quirkiness, colour and warmth, and you love animals and wildlife then don't stay anywhere other than here! The house is owned by a very lovely lady, who will go out... More

As a touring musician I happen to spend a lot of my time in sterile B&Bs and hotelrooms which seem to look and smell the same wherever I go! Well, it didn't take long for me to realize that Careys Cottage is different. After having negotiated the hungry pony waiting at the gate (I swear it tried to nibble my... More

This B&B was what we hoped to find in our 3 day trip to the New Forest. An attractive unassuming cottage on a beautiful and quiet spot, with the forest virtually on your doorstep. Moreover, with ponies greeting you at the gate! The facilities were basic but fine: comfortable beds, tidy rooms and a lovely breakfast. We liked the dogs... More

If you want to stay in a posh hotel (there are plenty in Brockenhurst) then that's up to you. Ideal if your on a business trip etc. Maybe thats where the complainers got it wrong? Luckily, I chose to stay at Carey's cottages. The owner opened the door wearing muddy boots n had rosey cheeks and a lovely smile, perfect!... More

My husband and I stayed in this B & B for a weekend. Our dog was made to feel as welcome as we were, which was lovely as so many places are anti - pet. The house was clean and comfortable and the owner very helpful. The location was fantastic, and we would definately stay again. More

I stayed in Carey Cottages earluier this year when the owner was away having an op. I loved it for not trying to be a hotel, but for thereally attractive home with a very special character, for its three beautiful dogs and the warmth of my reception with my own dog. It is so unusual to find somewhere nowadays that... More

We stayed in this B+B in July having made the booking a while ago (before we saw the other reviews on tripadvisor). I was hesitant in view of past reviews, but have to admit was pleasantly surprised by our stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the setting is very charming and peaceful. Although she does have 3... More

The previous reviewer was spot on in every respect- this is a B&B was a family home, with no signs outside. The owner was friendly, but the barking dogs and their smells was off putting - even to a dog lover! Our room was spacious, but the bed linen and towels did not appear to be clean and the guest...
