  • "Title: Charming Studio Barn with Thoughtful Touches Date of Stay: February 16th- 21st 2025 Here are some highlights from my experience: Pros: 1."

    Comfortable Accommodation: The studio layout was well-designed with the bed at one end and the kitchen at the other. It was cozy and welcoming. 2. Thoughtful Amenities: It was lovely to find a pint of milk in the fridge and a couple of pain au chocolate upon arrival. The enclosed area just outside was perfect for my four-legged companion, Poppy and a bonus was the outsize light for her night-time wee! The queen size bed was a real treat. The barn was well equipped with everything you might need (even a hairdryer, and a torch). 3. Friendly Hosts: The hosts, Richard and Jo, were reassuringly close by, (the other side of the fence) and as I was travelling on my own it was good to know that I had neighbours. I appreciated Jo's welcome check-up message on Sunday evening too. Cons: 1. Location Confusion: The postcode initially took me to a property on a different road. I recommend using Stuckton Road in your sat nav or arriving while it's still light to avoid any confusion. 2. Shower Room Temperature: The walk-in shower room was a bit cold initially, but it warmed up nicely after the radiator was switched on. 3. There is a major road close by and you can hear traffic most of the time but it didn't spoil my visit. Overall Experience: My stay at 2 Welford Barns was delightful. It provided a cozy retreat, and the friendly hosts added a reassuring touch. It's close to so many other places: we visited the New Forest, Boscombe, Highcliffe and Wimborne. I would recommend this studio barn to anyone looking for a dog friendly relaxing getaway. Rating: 4.5/5 stars

  • "Lovely spot that was walking distance to quaint village with cofffee, food and groceries."

    20 min drive down to the coast was great. The cottage definately needs a more comfortable bed and pillows. Ceiling needs a good clean as quite alot of cobwebs and spiders.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. Cobwebs and spiders have been cleaned away. Sorry you found the bed and pillows uncomfortable. The beds are standard hotel beds and only 6 mths old. The pillows are wipeable for hygiene reasons so they do tend to be a bit puffy. Thanks again Jo Property Owner

  • "A modern accommodation with private patio in a great location for exploring the local area."

    A nice welcome pack of fresh pastries and milk in the fridge. Tea and coffee available too. Plenty of information was provided by leaflets and maps. TV and WiFi on hand. This was a lovely stay, quiet and leisurely. Ideal for a couple and our dog was made welcome too.

The medieval Great Bridge, with seven graceful arches, is a major feature of the town. The immediate area is a wonderful place for visitors, with its beautiful scenery, nature havens, cycleways and welcoming people.

The stunning New Forest National Park is only 1.5 miles from the town, where you can explore thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland frequented by wild ponies, and dotted with quaint villages and country pubs. Within a short drive is the magnificent Elizabethan manor house at Breamore, as well as the New Forest Water Park, and a trip to Beaulieu, home of the National Motor Museum is not to be missed. This is a great location for exploring this picturesque and interesting area.
