Very good – Ritika from United Kingdom (8/10)
Location and holiday house was really good.
Comfy lodge, good for a family, great location for New Forest – Claire from United Kingdom (9/10)
Lovely peaceful location. We cycled into the New Forest directly from the site without going on any main roads. Very tidy lodge.
Superb – Bonfield from United Kingdom (9/10)
Fantastic location, very relaxed and helpful staff. Nothing seemed to be too much of a problem. Would recommend to other people for a holiday
We will return.Without doubt, Forest Lodge is an excellent, well run facility which we will definitely return to. – Mark from Isle of Man (8/10)
Mick was exceptionally vigilant coming up to our stay, dealt with an unexpected issue with the Spa people very quickly and was very obviously on the ball, proud of their property and keen to ensure any potential problems were resolved fast. Without a doubt this is a 'find' if you don't want a hotel, and given the self catering element saves a lot of money.
In the sun it would have been very easy to sit on the balcony all day listening to the faint hum of a lawnmower and the birds singing, but we had things to do. Parking effortless, and once the easy location is identified it became a home from home. We'll definitely return.A practical place to stay – Clive from Australia (8/10)
Responsive host who had no issues with our late check in. Leisurely 11.00 am check out. Large master bedroom with toilet and wash basin. Perfect for a couple. Modern fittings throughout. Twin bedroom very small, narrow beds, good for kids. Clean. Quiet location and well maintained site.
Great Break – Andy from United Kingdom (9/10)
Everything was as expected
Good – Karen from Guernsey (7/10)
The location and ease of access to the property. The property felt homely in the lounge/kitchen area. It had everything that we needed.
Superb – Kevin from United Kingdom (9/10)
The lodge was a perfect size for a family of 4 and is finished to a really high standard, with the decor and cleanliness clearly being a priority.
The shower ran hot, and had great pressure (often an issue I run into). Kitchen was well equipped and living space was comfortable, spacious and clean.
