The cottage's location is frequently highlighted as peaceful, tranquil, and perfect for relaxation. Its proximity to the New Forest and outdoor pursuits is appreciated, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

The majority of guests find the lodge comfortable and warm, with a particularly comfortable bed. However, a few guests mentioned uncomfortable sofas and bar stools, which slightly affects the comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Criticisms include the lack of Wi-Fi and some guests finding the indoor eating arrangements cramped. The presence of good 4G signal is noted, although it is sometimes less adequate indoors.

While some guests mention thoughtful touches like eggs and cookies, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or guaranteed for all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should be aware that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

About this property

Poulner 0.9 miles. Within the delightful county of Hampshire and actually situated in the New Forest National Park is this wonderful detached property, Roughwood. Resting along a private drive past the owner's property within large grounds, this self-contained retreat is a perfect fit for a couple's break to the country. A contemporary open-plan living space offers a lovely spot to relax at the end of the day, rest your feet and spread out on the sofa in front of the TV to wind down, or get snug with a good book. Within the kitchen area you are equipped with a great range of appliances, including an electric induction hob and oven, so you can cook up a tasty treat for two and enjoy your dish at the bar-style dining area, which looks out over the rolling fields outside, creating a gorgeous backdrop to your evening. Nestle into the large king-size wooden sleigh bed, a marvelous feature adding further luxury to your stay, with plenty of storage to be found in the wardrobe for your things too. Step over the smooth wooden flooring underfoot and freshen up in the bespoke bathroom, where a warm soak can be had in the bath, or a quick hot shower to make an excellent start to your day. All you need to do to find adventure is step outside the front door and start walking, with the New Forest National Park offering miles and miles of routes and trails to explore all encompassed by beautiful natural and unspoilt scenery. Another serene spot can be found in the Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve, take a stroll and observe the wildlife with winter being a spectacular season to visit when huge flocks of overwintering birds fly onto the lakes to roost. Being within easy reach of the coast too you can spend a day on the beach in Bournemouth when the sun is shining, head into the pier amusement arcades, grab an ice cream and afterwards enjoy fish and chips at Harry Ramsden's beach front fish and chip shop. Rockford Common is only a short distance away, known for its outstanding natural beauty, it is a great day out. Roughwood offers a homely base to retreat to with your loved one, within easy reach of popular attractions.

Resting within the civil parish of Ringwood, the village Poulner is a small settlement found just south of the Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve. Several pubs call this quaint Hampshire village home, as well as a few shops and convenience stores where you can buy any essentials. East of the village is the New Forest National Park which is a wonderful place to explore for those who love getting outdoors and in nature.

  • Jacqui

    Beautiful views. Everything you could need within it. Loved surrounding area of New Forest with all the animals roaming free. Very peaceful. Enjoyed a great short break - well recommended. Went for drives out each day. Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole. Loved Christchurch the most with it's harbour. Very pretty.
