Many thanks for a wonderful weekend away. The hospitality is outstanding. We enjoyed our New Year break as a family especially the opportunity to book the babysitter so we could go out to the Pig on Saturday night. We took a nice walk where Gillian lost a shoe – if a tartan trainer for a five month old turns up in the forest you will know who the culprit is! Many thanks for having us.

Thank you for our second lovely stay here. The weather has been kind and we’ve had cold but bright days. Trips to Avon Beach, Mudeford Quay and walks in the forest have all been wonderful.

Thanks for another wonderful stay Amanda. Alex loved spending his 9th birthday here. Happy New Year.

Wow! What a welcome, what a gem of a cottage. We had such a wonderful stay! There are entries in the guestbook saying people have been coming since their child was five months and now is 9 years old and you can absolutely understand it – the house is beautiful, every single detail has been so thoughtfully considered and it has everything you could need for a child (we had our three month old with us). Amanda had even left out the toys and equipment that might be most useful to us like a playmat ready in the living room. When we entered the house the fires were burning, lullabies were playing and there was a lovely gift waiting for our daughter on the table along with fresh flowers, wine, chocolate and the local paper. Amanda went to such incredible lengths to make us welcome and we so enjoyed our stay! We have loved everything about our experience. THANK YOU so very much for all of it. We will absolutely be back if you’ll have us!!

Another wonderful stay at your delightful cottage. We have been coming here since our eldest was 5 months and she’s now 9! The children just love it here and every time we come something extra has been added – popcorn machine was a hit!! I loved making fires and the girls were very impressed. Lovely forest walks, trip to Avon Beach in wellies, steam train ride at exbury and xmas lights at Beaulieu. We will return again.

What a wonderful home from home. This beautiful cottage has absolutely everything a family needs to hit the ground running. What lovely surprises too for the children. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend.


A wonderful little stay, wish we had had longer. Even still we managed to cram in lovely walks, bike rides, cakes, wildlife (ponies, deer & badgers), pubs and a cosy night reading by the fire.

Thank you for another fantastic stay! See you again next year.

We have had a fantastic 5 days at Twin Cottage and we are leaving today feeling relaxed and in love with the New Forest! Our children Olivia (5) and George (18 month) had a brilliant time enjoying all the toys and local wildlife. Thank you for everything Amanda!!
