Excellent host and property
4.9
From the moment we arrived we knew this would be a special property; the Studio exudes charm, warmth and a real family feel. It was a perfect backdrop to a 60th birthday celebration.
The hosts, Steven and Timo, were welcoming
and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property, you won’t be disappointed and we will definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
4.9
We had a wonderful stay in the Studio. We went with four families and all had plenty of space and loved the garden, BbQ, hot tub and surrounding forest. Only 15 mins to the beach!
Timo the host was great, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

This property is ideal for a large group of friends or family. It comfortably accommodated 8 of us across 3 generations, including 2 small children - a great kitchen, lots of sleeping, chill out and dining options, plus plenty of bathrooms! We lit the huge log burner each evening (logs provided) as a little chilly, which was lovely and cosy. The garden is large, mature and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating plus a bbq and firepit, and we made full use of the hot tub. Enough space too for children to explore and play, very safe. Communication with Timo was great, he was patient with our questions and responded very quickly. An added bonus was having the lovely Luigi cook us a fabulous Italian meal, he was great fun and so patient and kind with our 7 year old whom he had as his “sous chef”! Ringwood forest, moors valley country park and go ape are easily accessible either walking out of the back gate or a short drive. Parking is plentiful and safe as gated.
All in all, a fabulous weekend. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the property, although quirky, very clean and welcoming, is tired and in need of some tlc and maintenance in places.
4.9
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!

What a treat to have that garden with the blooming flowers. Great bank holiday weekend.
4.9
The cottage worked well for our family weekend to celebrate a significant birthday. We were met by Luigi who was most helpful.
4.9
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.

We picked this property as it seemed to offer something for all the family, we weren't disappointed, everyone enjoyed there stay, lovely house, facilities and surroundings.

Lovely place to celebrate a special occasion with all our family. Plenty of space and straight into the forest!. Luigi was a real bonus. Will recommend.
4.9
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.

Great place, ideal for the family. Plenty to do near by. Great access to shops. Excellent kitchen, and use of barbecue. Recommended.
4.9
Thanks, Timo, for a great stay. We especially appreciated the various nooks and eating spaces that accommodated our large family!
4.9
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.

It’s a very beautiful cottage. Lovely gardens. The house is 100 yrs old. Felt like you are in a home.

A very well appointed property ideal for a family break with many different areas to chill and socialise.
We were met by the host who was very helpful and welcoming. A very good stay !

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.
4.9
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.
4.9
We enjoyed a wonderful few days for our family celebration. Timo was there to welcome us and the property was beautifully furnished, well equipped and clean throughout. We especially loved the beautiful garden, the location with access to the forest and the spacious hot tub. Highly recommended.
4.9
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.

Amazing story behind the building and grounds, really enjoyed the ambience and the facilities available. Ideal for country walks in the New Forest.

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!
4.9
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.
4.9
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.

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!
4.9
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

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.
