Poppy Cottage is the friendly family home of Pat and Mick. Situated in the heart of the New Forest, which is now a National Park, it is in a quiet location, yet within a few minutes’ walk of the village centre and the open forest. Ponies and cattle, including Highland cattle, frequently pass the front garden of the cottage. We have now been awarded Visit Britain 4 star rating.

ROOMS: Double/family/twin. They have tea/coffee-making facilities, colour TV/DVD player, with selection of films available on loan/Freeview + radio/alarm. Towels, Bathrobes and hairdryers are also provided. Shower gels and shampoo provided if required.

The large private bathroom has a bath with shower over, heated towel rail and electric shaver point.

We regret no smoking is allowed inside the house and we are unable to accept pets.

There is a seating area in the front garden cushions available and off-road parking, if required. However the gates are always kept closed as the ponies do not wait to be invited into the garden to enjoy eating our plants!

The New Forest breakfast is served, which consists of locally sourced produce, organic when available. There is also and additional choice from buffet and for something different, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs are available by prior arrangement. Special dietary needs catered for, so long as we have notice, preferably at time of confirmation of booking.

Open all year. Minimum stay 2 nights.
