Leave ReviewForest Drove cottage in the New Forest
By Charlotte Wooldridge on 31-Dec-2025Forest Drove cottage in the New Forest We had such a great weekend at Forest Drove in the New Forest. The house was exactly what we needed for our family of 11 with 6 children and a granny! The lady we booked with was so helpful and friendly. When we got home we realised my 10 year old daughter had left her favourite Christmas present behind along with her purse with pocket money. I immediately called teh owenrs and within a couple of days they had posted everything to us. I will definitely book with them again in the future.
Truly charming thatched cottage
By Gina Booth on 13-Jan-2026This is a truly charming thatched cottage on the edge of the New Forest. It is beautifully furnished, very clean, and extremely well equipped for all our needs. We stayed as a mixed age group from 10 to mid 70 to celebrate a 70th Birthday. The cottage worked perfectly well for everyone. The location is excellent, with direct access to the forest and the joy of seeing ponies roaming freely nearby. A relaxing & memorable stay.
80th Birthday Party
By Sandra White on 19-May-2025The property features were well described which enable the choice we made for our family gathering. Old and young something for everyone. Huge kitchen dinner plus a very comfy lounge. The games room was a hit! Masses of crockery too. It's on my list for a return visit.

Delightful English quintessential cottage
By Claire Thurber on 13-Feb-2025Delightful English quintessential cottage Forest Drove was a super location and a gorgeous cottage with plenty of room. What we appreciated most was the fully equipped kitchen, including an extra fridge/freezer. Great for entertaining and everyone being together in one room. The home was full of sunlight during the day, nice & warm at night and plenty of hot water. Lovely to have washer/dryer, but if the dryer stops working trick is to empty to the water bucket at the bottom. It was much appreciated to have supplies on hand (dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent etc) and a basket a goodies on arrival. Thank you. Communication with rental management was excellent. Very responsive and accommodating. We had issues with some of the mattresses during our stay but they promptly replaced after our stay.
A lovely weekend spent at Forest Drove Cottage
By Margaret on 01-Apr-2025Spent a lovely celebratory weekend with our family, 10 of us in total with age range from 80 to 13, at Forest Drove Cottage. The cottage is spacious, homely, well equipped and tranquilly set. The hot tub and games room were a big hit, as was the decked outside space.
