A very relaxing stay at this beautifully appointed New Forest accommodation, with very welcoming hosts. Great access directly onto the forest (perfect for dog walking) and with both an Award Winning Farm Shop/Cafe and pub serving excellent food within easy walking distance (bring a torch if walking at night). North Gorley is a good centre from which to enjoy all parts of The New Forest with excellent shopping facilities at nearby Ringwood.We thoroughly enjoyed our recent two week stay
