Lovely holiday
Had a wonderful holiday here, beautiful cottage, garden very secure for my dog which I’m grateful for. Nice and quiet and loved the horses looking over the gate! So sweet! Loved all the bathrooms, never an argument about whose turns next! lol. Well stocked kitchen, all the cutlery and plates and bowls you’d need. Ample room on driveway, could fit 4 cars on if needed we took 3 between us, large family! We had a wonderful holiday.

Golden wedding celebration
Everything is good but the mattresses need renewing. Great welcome pack. A few more dishwasher ‘tablets’ would be useful as only the brand the owners use is suitable for the machine. Label the bins - so that no one accidentally uses the recycling bin as a rubbish bin. Lovely setting and good accommodation apart from the mattresses.

Beautiful property right in the forest
Our second visit and as good as the last! Spotlessly clean with welcome gifts to greet us. Beautiful enclosed garden with patio furniture. Bright and airy interior, comfortable bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. Ground floor bedroom helps those with mobility issues. Dining area large enough to seat 10 comfortably. The property is a credit to the host.

Birthday Celebration
We especially loved the location- quiet and right in the forest- wonderful walks right outside the door. The house was comfortable and warm. We really enjoyed the lovely conservatory- especially when it rained. I was worried that the railway line passed quite close but we were never aware of any noise. The kitchen was brilliantly equipped- everything we needed to hand. The beds were warm and comfortable and we made use of all the en suites. Our dogs were safe in the dog proof garden. All in all a very good choice for our family holiday.

A great property in the new forest and a very welcome family break
This lovely and very well equipped property had everything we needed as a grown up family. The location is perfect, inside the new forest where walks we abundant. We were even greeted at the gate by a mother horse and foal on one of the days. We would definitely recommend. There are so many places to visit including Brockenhurst itself. The property includes parking for at least 3 cars behind the main gate. Highly recommended.

Brilliant for a family holiday
Superb location, literally walk out of the house into the New Forest and lots of nearby places to shop and eat out. The outside seating area was lovely to relax and eat outside and the huge dining table in the conservatory was great for the whole family to eat together. The kitchen has pretty much everything you could possibly need. Everything was really good, would thoroughly recommend and would definitely go again.

Really good facilities
Good quality throughout, spotlessly clean, plenty of room for all of us (six adults plus two children) and a great layout for the rooms. Children's toys, bird feeders, patio furniture - so many things in place to make our stay wonderful. We loved being so close, literally just over the road, to the open space where the whole family enjoyed walking and the children built fairy houses and climbed over fallen trees. I thoroughly recommend Gorse Cottage as a place to stay.
