Stable Cottage at High Forest Cottages is a beautiful dog friendly two bedroom, one bathroom cottage in the New Forest. It can accommodate up to six people. You will love staying here with just the two of you, with friends or family, enjoying long walks in the Forest or visiting one of the quaint villages. Returning after a day exploring, you can enjoy cooking together in the spacious kitchen and having long leisurely meals around the large dining table, before relaxing in front of the fire.

Nestled in the ancient North Ridge of The New Forest National Park, Stable Cottage at High Forest Cottages provides a peaceful hideway to relax and enjoy the unique beauty of the forest.

Situated within the forest boundary, inside the cattle grid areas, our regular visitors include the famous ponies and cattle that make the forest such a stunning wildlife environment. Whilst deer are a rare sight, we often welcome a small herd into the paddocks to enjoy some free grazing!

The beautiful and spacious open plan living area is perfect for family and friends to relax. Heated by underfloor heating with the addition of a log burner, ensures it is cosy whatever the weather. A basket of wood and kindling is provided for you and you can top this up from the log store throughout your stay. One of the sofas turns into an extra double bed with storage underneath for bedding. The large Smart TV is connected to the free WiFi so you can log in to your own Netflix and Amazon accounts. A Blu-Ray player is also available if you fancy watching an old school movie.

The kitchen is well-equipped and you can easily cook a Sunday roast if you fancy. There are plenty of pans and dishes, an oven with grill and electric hob. The large fridge/freezer, plenty of storage space and the dishwasher give you that home from home feeling. Dishwasher tablets as well as washing up liquid and tea towels are available for your use. Milk, tea, sugar and ground coffee together with a cafetiere are provided so you can settle in as soon as you arrive. The dining table with seating for six will facilitate those all important dinner conversations.

Both bedrooms can either be made up as a superking sized bed or two single beds. All beds are made up with luxury cotton sheets, a 10 tog microfibre duvet and two microfibre pillows per person. Both rooms have an open wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, a large mirror and hair dryer.

The shower room features a large walk in shower, sink with mirror over and toilet. Lovely fluffy white towels and face cloths are provided for your stay.

A lovely large patio garden, enclosed by a 4ft high fence and hedge is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a lazy afternoon. In the evenings you can light the BBQ for some alfresco dining and the outside lighting extends your evenings after sunset. Parking for three cars is available. The shared laundry with washing machine and dryer is available should you need it.

Having twins ourselves we understand how a few extra touches can make travelling with small children a lot easier. We can provide travel cots, high chairs, a baby bath and bottle steriliser for you. As standard there are some toys, books and games, as well as plastic plates, cups and cutlery available in our cottages. If there is anything else we can provide please do ask.

Top notch property 10 stars. You are central by car to all the foresty tree parks. The immediate area is beautiful fen landscape quite mystical in feeling, with the beautiful horses roaming free. Astrid and Mark are available whenever you need anything like directions or places to visit. And gave us a very warm welcome. I would recommend if you want a taxi if going out for dinner and do not want to drive you need to ring local taxis well in advance, like days in advance. Our favorite bit was the log burner it was so cosy.

Astrid and Mark are so friendly and helpful. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The house is spacious, tasteful, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is easy to find and not far from Southampton, Salisbury and all the New Forest attractions. We rented several of Astrid’s cottages before our daughter’s wedding and it worked perfectly as all of them are high standard and close together but separate enough to give privacy. If you’re a very light sleeper who likes to sleep late then you might want to choose one of the others rather than Stable as the neighbouring dogs bark from 7am, but only my husband was disturbed by them and the rest of us slept on! A gorgeous property, wonderful rural location and outstanding hosts. Can’t recommend it highly enough. We will be going back.

We had a great stay in the beautiful stable cottage! It was finished to a really high standard, spotless and equipped with all that our family needed for a very comfortable 4 night stay. Having two young children with us meant it was easier to eat in and the kitchen was well equipped to be able to do this with ease! A box with a few toys in to keep the little ones amused and a cake on arrival for the grown ups were some of the little extra touches that made our stay so special! Astrid also provides us with a highchair and baby bath which was super helpful and meant everything was very easy for us! The location was also great being close by to lots of places to visit for family days out! We hope to be able to stay again in the future!

Getting around

You are most likely driving to the accommodation, although a taxi from Salisbury, Brockenhurst or Southampton stations is an option. A popular option is to cycle from the property, so feel free to bring your bikes. Alternatively, you can hire bikes from a number of locations in and around the forest, and many will deliver to your property. And, of course, there is walking directly from your doorstep, with miles of forest and heath to explore.
