    Can't think of anything.

    Loved the grounds. Was lovely waking up to lots of animals. The prosecco was a nice touch as well as the goodies that were in our room. They made us feel welcome and we would defo go back.

    The 4 poster bed was fabulous but mattress was too hard for us. Perhaps a mattress topper could be provided for guests who prefer a softer mattress.

    The owner went over and above my expectations to make The Garden room comfortable and inviting. There was an abundance of food and drink. The chilled bottle of Prosecco was unexpected but very welcome. The little garden with its fairy lights was charming.

    Nothing of note.

    Cosy room, lovely private garden and the hamper and Prosecco were a lovely touch by Sue the hostess. The accommodation was surrounded by nature and free roaming animals, that made you wish that you didn’t live in a busy manic city.

    The room has too much furniture in it so washing up has to be done in the garden with a hosepipe. A bit dark in the room I thought.

    The Garden room is in a fantastic location with its own little private garden. The owner had thought of almost everything and I had not expected so many provisions to be in the room. There were actually too many things in there really but it was very kind of her. Peacocks and guinea fowl peering through the blinds were an unexpected but very entertaining extra. A brilliant fire to heat the room and lovely touches such as remote control candles and a bottle with two glasses. It must be very nice and cosy for a couple. A short walk down the lane and one is on the open forest or up the lane to the lovely Red Shoot pub. The owners leave you alone and are very pleasant people.

    This is a very quirky but exceptional place to stay. The owners have gone way and above the norm to ensure that this is going to be a fab experience. Even the cooling fan cools and we stayed when it was 30Centigrade and slept soundly. Very comfortable King size bed too. Plenty of places to rent but not like this. 2 very good pubs, one within 5 minute walk the other 25minutes.

    Amazing. From entering the farm and being greeted by Sue and the animals, to the property itself and the generous condiments provided in the welcome hamper! It is in an ideal location with walks right on the doorstep. Couldn't have asked for more. We have already booked to return!

    A quiet spot perfect for relaxation. You need a car but there are attractions in driving range. There are many places for an meal out. We found Budgens did a fantastic range of goods for a meal in. There is a small combination oven in the room. There was a complimentary hamper and the room is well stocked with tea and coffee. It was a nice treat waking each morning to a peacock gazing in.

    Nothing to dislike! Everything was just perfect for us and our little dog

    We enjoyed everything, from the room, the animals to the beautiful location. The room was absolutely amazing, very comfortable and clean! The welcome hamper was fabulous, we couldn’t believe the amount of goodies inside it and other goodies on the table (Prosecco, bread, cheeses cake etc) and in the fridge (butter, water, soft drinks) Sue and Maz the owners and the lovely lady that was helping out (didn’t get her name) were so friendly and interesting. Will definitely be going back!

    Nothing, we loved everything!

    This was our second visit to The Garden Room (as we loved it so much last year we felt we had to come again and stay a bit longer). We loved having what amounts to a tiny cottage with it's own garden. Sue is very generous with her welcome hamper of food, and we liked having the little kitchen area where we could prepare simple meals rather than pay through the nose at the pub. Learning from last time, we bought 'ping' dinners from a branch of 'Cook' in Ringwood, so we could come in after a day of walking to a decent / quick / cheap meal - perfect!

    Nothing! Everything was perfect!

    The host, Sue, was friendly and accommodating. She helped us out whenever we needed and introduced us to her lovely animals. The hamper filled with goodies blew us away, and the prosecco and beers were delightful. The room was cosy and romantic. We loved the chimenea outdoors and had it going every evening. There's nothing better than sipping a glass of prosecco with the fire going, watching the sunset! The location was great and was a short drive to most nearby towns. If you want a true New Forest experience, this is the place to stay!

    Lovely holiday getaway with beautiful surroundings. The hosts are wonderful and their farm is fantastic. We loved watching the animals go about their morning routines. We were very generously provided for with a hamper of goodies including sweet and savoury food (even a bottle of prosecco), a fridge with essentials and more types of tea and coffee than we could count! They were also happy to accommodate our pet rabbit staying with us. Would highly recommend

    We loved staying at the Garden Room, which is located on a working farm with amazing walks and scenery all around. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating - giving us a massive hamper of food and bubbly on arrival to see us through the weekend and giving us advice on where to go and what to see. It was especially amazing that we could bring our dog and enjoy our time all together. Couldn't recommend more and will be coming back as soon as we can!

    Nothing, it was all perfect! The property is a little off the beaten track (which is why we liked it), but there is a shop on the campsite nearby where you can get a few provisions. We did eat at the local pub (which was a bit pricey) so we would advise that you eat / shop at Ringwood during the day whilst out and about.

    This really is an exceptional property, and the care and attention to detail that has gone into making sure that guests have a comfortable stay is amazing. Not only is the room beautifully furnished, with extremely comfortable sofa and bed, but there is a wonderful secluded garden with plenty of seating and a BBQ should the weather be good. Most welcome of all was the wonderfully stocked hamper that was stuffed full to the brim with scones / pastries / snacks (not to mention the wine & chocolates by the bed!) We had a fantastic couple of days, and we can fully recommend this little peace of paradise to anyone that appreciates the unusual and enjoys having animals around :)

    Stayed here for 2 nights with a lovely warm welcome from Sue & Maz. very generous hamper, Prosecco, bread,milk, tea, coffee etc, Wi-Fi BBQ available and fuel, chiminea and wood available. Nice to get away from it all. loved the early morning wake up call from the Cockerels, peacock and geese. Garden was lovely and great to sit out in anytime of the day. You are in the sticks so don’t expect phone signal which is quite nice. Pub up the road and you can use the camp site shop for any other bits you need which is behind the pub. Lovely area and would highly recommend this place
