Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, the proximity to local attractions, and the farm setting with animals.

Location
The location is frequently described as beautiful and idyllic, with easy access to local walks, the New Forest, and nearby towns. Some guests mentioned the need to drive to shops and pubs, but this does not detract from the overall appreciation for the property's setting.
Comfort

About this property
West Park Farm, in the very pretty, historic village of Rockbourne is part of a working beef and arable farm. You are welcome to explore here - there is a large pond, bluebell wood and occasionally you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks. There is also a hard tennis court, which guests can enjoy, but please bring your own racquets. Next to The Old Cart Shed, Pond View features an open plan living area which has a high raftered ceiling, exposed beams and whitewashed walls. The attractive bedroom has an ornate bed and a lovely French style armoire. Outside there is a patio and a shared lawn beside the pond from which the cottage takes its name.
Rockbourne is a village with a pub and a 12th century church. It has thatched cottages and a willow-bordered stream on the edge of the New Forest, Rockbourne is rich in history with Neolithic and Bronze Age evidence, an Iron Age fort and a Roman villa which is available to visit. Nearby Fordingbridge is well-stocked, a charming place to base your holiday.
