I put it in the box above. i should have said that I couldn't find the window keys on the first night and perhaps something about where they are kept should be in the folder of information about the property .

Thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location and cottage perfect for 4-6 people. Enclosed garden and terrace at the back of the house ideal for the dog. Steep stairs could be a problem for the elderly and infirm. Can recommend this cottage - thank you.

The location was exactly what we were looking for and the cottage was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay, the comments given are only done so for constructive critism.

We thought Appletree Cottage was a really nice, well equipped cottage. (We thought a grab handle would be useful as you get out of the shower). It is in a perfect location just on the edge of Brockenhurst. It's a short walk to town and very easy access to the forest and the heath. The station is a 15 minute walk. Donkeys regularly walk past and there are lots of ponies and cattle on the heath. There is so much to do in the New Forest. We like walking and there are a lot of car parks along the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive plus many more across the wider areas of the forest. A cycle track map is useful as these are good for walking too. Wild deer can often be seen. One place we always love to visit is Furzey Gardens in Minstead. It's a pretty woodland garden (lots of rhododendrons, azaleas and primulas in May) with cafe, shop, picnic area, old thatched cottage and winding paths leading to many fairy doors to find. A restful and magical place. We hope to visit the New Forest again next year.

A first class service from booking to departure date.
August 2017
We had a super time. There are so many lovely things to do in the vicinity (and we were lucky with the weather). A minus point: the specification details do mention the steep staircase - but as this begins immediately outside the bedroom doors, it could be dangerous for small children. A stairgate is supplied, but the stairs could be a real problem for someone with small children - or elderly people with mobility problems. On the other hand, the enclosed front and back gardens are a real plus. And the location of the cottage is superb - ten minutes' walk from the village centre and less to the heath. And a 15 minute walk to the station from where trains go every half hour to Lymington.
August 2017
The cottage was lovely in a perfect location. we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday
June 2017
We had a great stay in well equipped cottage. Although décor somewhat dated, this suited us well especially with young children. We prefer to avoid gleaming white places! It was clean, comfy and homely. Kitchen well equipped. Shame the fires not working for Autumnn/winter stays. Would definitely stay again and recommend.
December 2014
Again we have had a wonderful holiday here in Appletree Cottage - an idyllic location!
December 2014
Lovely to stay in such a well equipped cottage!
December 2014
Our third time in the New Forest and second in this lovely cottage. We had a great time but the dog had the biggest pleasure. Lots of walks, rides, drinking and eating with only one day of rain. We will be back!
November 2014
We enjoyed our second stay in Appletree Cottage that is spacious clean and very convenient for Brockenhurst

We went as a family for Easter Sunday lunch. The food was excellent, fresh and hot. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble!
April 2019
Very popular so booked beforehand. Good food but quite slow service. Difficult to just go for a drink as for some reason don't have separate lounge
August 2018
This establishment came as a surprise. I took a friend there for lunch and we were much impressed by the interior and enjoyed our meal very much.
April 2018
We ate on one night and went for drinks on another night Was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday evening, but we were still seated at a pleasant, albeit non official dining table We were immediately welcomed and drinks orders taken, in a friendly but efficient manner We were left to choose our food, the children’s menus selected by our two girls (aged 10) were very good and ample, they came with a squash drink and ice cream for pudding I chose the sea bream and mash which was excellent, my partner chos the chicken which was also very good Service throughout was friendly and efficient We returned two days later , just for drinks, I don’t get the feeling that drinkers are their target customers, as the are was much colder and less welcoming than the dining area, I had a real ale which was very pleasant, my partner had a cocktail which was good, the two girls had mock tails, which were nowhere near the standard of our previous visit, no orange in one and didn’t taste as good, girls were a little disappointed This could be down to barman being under training, which to be fair he did explain he was new Overall an excellent venue, we shall be returning
February 2018
Great food and really good service.
February 2018
Great food and family friendly Small area allocated for dogs but often no space available so not dog friendly inside
February 2018
Only about 30 metres walk... Fabulous food great atmosphere. But book to make sure of a table as its very popular on Thurs - Sunday evenings
December 2017
Very good standard of food and pleasant, helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend!
December 2017
It was our first visit to this venue since the name change. The menu appeared a little more upmarket, unfortunately the service wasn't. They took our credit card when taking our order, but when it came to paying our bill we were told they were busy and we had to find the waiter who took it. In all it took something like 30 minutes trying to pay our bill, not the best way to finish an evening with 3 small children wanting their beds.
August 2017
we ate twice at The Huntsman. First time in garden as we had our dog. food was lovely but service very slow. second time we ate inside with all the family. Meal was superb and service excellent and waiter was very attentive
August 2017
Nice restaurant, very nicely decorated, good ambiance and service. We went for a dinner with our kids (3). The food kids menu, was perfect, my wife and daughter order the trout and duck both very good dishes. I ordered the rib eye, the menu says it has 35 days of maturing. The quality was bad, I would even doubt it was steak it almost looked like processed meet. My recommendation stick to the other dishes on the menu and avoid the steak selection. The rest of the experience was very positive.

February 2018
Lovely tearoom, we were able to sit outside with our dog as it was a sunny December day but we were invited to sit inside if we wanted to. We both had pannis which were very nice and came with crisps in a vintage teacup and a side salad.
December 2017
Really good tea and cakes with gluten free options as well!
September 2017
A real taste of old fashioned tea room chic. Great tea, lovely surroundings and if you're lucky enough to grab a seat outside and the weather is good, you can watch the world and its animals walk past while cars plunge through the ford.

Very enjoyable ride on the red route. Lovely views of the New Forest. We stopped at a couple of locations and had a meal in Fordingbridge. Ride on top gets a bit breezy taking a coat or jumper is a good idea.

Milford on Sea

A beautiful shingle beach with pretty painted beach huts, plenty of parking, and excellent coastal walks along Hurst spit to Hurst Castle with clear views of the Isle of Wight and needles.

Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.
June 2019
Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s
April 2019
great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach
March 2019
Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.
December 2017
Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc

Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.

Barton on Sea
(8 miles)
A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.

Highcliffe Beach
(8 miles)
A picturesque, tree-lined beach of shingle, and sand at low tide. Good facilities on the cliff top including an excellent tea room, award winning public toilets, baby change and a children’s play area in the Castle gardens. Plenty of parking, but there is no disabled access and quite a few steps to get down to the beach. Lifeguard cover from July to Sept. No dogs allowed.

Lepe Beach
(10 miles)
Some of the best views of the Solent can be enjoyed from over a mile of beach and pine fringed cliffs. Historic D-Day remains, wildflower meadows and children's play area. Beach front car park.
Mudeford Sandbank

This is one of the most scenic of New Forest beaches. Lined with some of the most picturesque and expensive beach huts in the country! There’s no parking next to the beach, as it’s a traffic-free zone, but there’s pay and display parking at Hengistbury Head from where you can catch a little train to the sandbank, and Mudeford Quay which runs a small ferry (5 mins) over to the sandbank. Can also be reached on foot and by bicycle.

Beautiful place, our favourite beach in south of England. It feels like an island, when you go over on the ferry and at times (off-season!) on sunny days it can feel like a little piece of Heaven, it's so peaceful and beautiful- bit of a sense of New England. There's a super little 'restaurant', the Beach Hut, which does great breakfasts, meals all day and some evenings. Also takeaway eg pizzas, you can eat on the beach. Very simple surroundings, with a sheltered veranda that can be uncovered in fine weather, and amazing views. Quite pricey and often very busy (and you are best to ring and check opening times and book since often weather and ferry-dependant) but the quality of the food and those stunning views make it more than worthwhile!
