    “We had a very relaxed stay at the Old Byre.”

    The Cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely kitchen, comfy lounge and lots of quirky details. The little dining room next to the kitchen is well laid out and ideal for dinners and games. Despite the fact that it felt very much like you were staying in someone's home, the entire house was spotlessly clean. Super dog friendly, with doggy towels, blankets, water bowls, baskets and even a basket of toys provided. No doggy smells or hair whatsoever - so also suitable for people without dogs. ...

    The Cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely kitchen, comfy lounge and lots of quirky details. The little dining room next to the kitchen is well laid out and ideal for dinners and games. Despite the fact that it felt very much like you were staying in someone's home, the entire house was spotlessly clean. Super dog friendly, with doggy towels, blankets, water bowls, baskets and even a basket of toys provided. No doggy smells or hair whatsoever - so also suitable for people without dogs. Kitchen was well equipped with some basics like salt & pepper and oil. Plenty of glasses and plates etc. As the description says - the cottage is located next to a working farm, so if you are looking for isolation and absolute peace & quiet this place may not be for you. I did not bother us however. Location is excellent. Very easy to reach from the motorway, and although technically on the border of the New Forest, you very much felt that you were in the national park. We also had a meal at the nearby pub - The Woodfalls Inn which is about a 20 minute walk through the village, which was also excellent. Lovely owners and overall a wonderful break!

The property

The Old Byre is a picturesque cottage located in the charming village of Woodfalls in Wiltshire.

Nestled between Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and New Forest National Park, this abode offers an idyllic and peaceful retreat for families, friends and their furry companions.

Step into your new home away from home to find a rustic and beautifully-decorated space with beams and vaulted ceilings.

Here you'll find a lovely bespoke country-style hand painted kitchen with feature lighting crafted out of old milk churns, where you'll whip up delicious meals to enjoy in the dining room or out on the patio when the sun is shining.

Retreat to the lounge and sink into the plush sofas by the woodburning stove for a well-deserved post-dinner nap or to watch a movie on the TV.

You'll also have access to the property's vast collections of books so you can pour into countless stories during your stay.

As the day winds down, take a relaxing bath or shower before slipping under the freshly-washed linens of the soft beds.

Venture out to visit the village and stop at the village shop to stock up on some essentials.

If you don't feel like cooking check out The Woodfalls Inn for a delicious and hearty meal or Kings Head with its beer garden you can sit out in when it's warm.

A short drive away you'll find the stunning medieval city of Salisbury where you can stroll through and take pictures of the imposing Salisbury Cathedral, home to the Magna Carta.

Then, head for a picnic at Harnham Water Meadows, a serene nature preserve with walking tours.

End this day trip with a visit to the National Trust's 18th-century Mompesson House.

Take the scenic route to wonderful port city of Southampton and discover more about the history of the Titanic at SeaCity Museum, visit the restored Tudor House & Garden with a on-site cafe where you can stop for lunch and why not end the day with a family dinner at the waterside Banana Wharf?

Or visit the fabulous Paultons Park.

The Old Byre promises an unforgettable stay for everyone.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
