This cottage was small but beautifully designed for two. We loved it's ambiance and the location was so quiet and peaceful. The New Forest is so special to walk around and enjoy. The Potting Shed and local Foresters Arms provided great meals in a friendly atmosphere .
We absolutely loved this little cottage. It had everything we needed as well as being soo adorably thatched with a pig atop!We were very comfortable, enjoying a hot shower after a days walking before rolling into bed. It was great.Paul and Catherine were the perfect hosts, checking we were ok then just leaving us to enjoy.It is down a lane with donkeys, ponies and rabbits on the doorstep. We didnât use the car at all. The pub is 5 mins walk and we had some fabulous walks.
This was a beautiful place
We loved staying here and we're hoping to come back again
Our daughter booked this as a surprise for out anniversary it was delightful
Only down side was we couldn't work normal tv channels so we watched netflix which was nice and we watched different programs to normal so was still perfect
Beautiful place with friendly accommodating owners. Tranquil setting. One of the best short breaks we have had. Would highly recommend. Couldn't fault it. Would definitely stay again.
Little Bacons is such a special little cottage. Perfectly set up to make your visit wonderful. Communication with the host was great. Check in super easy and a spotless cottage equals a fantastic experience. I would recommend and would love to visit again. Many thanks
A fab place to get away and recharge the batteries. Lovely accommodation, close enough to walk to pubs or cafe. Horses, donkeys, birds are in abundance. Peaceful place to stay and whilst the owners are nearby they respect your privacy
This amazing little cottage has everything you need and more for a great stay. The cottage has been renovated to an incredibly high standard. Outside you walk straight into the New Forest with its free roaming wildlife and amazing views. We found the Potting Shed cafe a very friendly place with great food. just a short walk from the cottage.
A brilliant surprise birthday present arranged for us by our children.
Beautiful quiet location.
Delightful small cottage, extremely well equipped and furnished.
Hosts were so friendly and helpful.
Many varied walks from the door, including through woods and fields on footpaths to Fordingbridge where we found much to enjoy.
This lovely little cottage would make a perfect base for a couple. Although small, it has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing break. It has a good sized shower room and very comfy bed. There is a pub serving good food a 5 minute walk away and stunning walks all around.
Travelling further afield is easy, there is a Park & Ride into Salisbury a 20 minute drive away and we also visited Stonehenge within an hour.
The hosts Paul & Catherine were very friendly and we can highly recommend this cottage
Little Bacon is a very lovely, quaint little cottage. Though it offers studio style living, it has all mod cons very neatly and thoughtfully arranged. Information and directions from Paul were very thorough and easy to follow.
The cottage is very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A great location for exploring the wonders of the New Forest.
A delightful little cottage with everything you need. The walls keep it very cool in hot weather. Very quiet and comfortable.
A beautiful setting in a village full of wild life, deer, horses, rabbits, donkeys, hedgehogs and foxes.
The owners were very helpful.
I wish i could have stayed longer.
It's a lovely little cottage I enjoyed staying there. The owners of lovely people. however there's a couple of things I find the toilet extremely high,the television couldn't work it because you've got to use an app, and the oven was th same. As a middle-aged person I need something that's quick and easy to work.
We booked this small holiday let at late notice due to a cancelled holiday. The property is compact but fully equipped with a good range of crockery etc. Hockeyâs Farm Shop and the fabulous Royal Oak in North Gorley are a comfortable walk away.
Unfortunately due to the unexpected cold snap we were unable to take advantage of the private garden and found the property rather cool.
Lovely little cottage which has been thoughtfully equipped. A good base from which to explore the New Forest. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We'd definitely love to return.
Lovely location in the New Forest lovely little cottage with all amenities coming out of the cottage to be with all the lovely animals first thing in the morning is just great with all the lovely walks in the surrounding area so there is no need to use your car if you donât want to and the owners always keep in contact and contactable if required so excellent for us
Excellent Property all nice and clean the host had left out all written details of property and appliances so used items with ease and just step outside of the property there to greet us was 4 Donkeys and just walking in the Forest is so relaxing just great will book again
Lovely little cottage. Has all you need. Quiet surroundings. Walks straight from your door onto the forest. Shops and pubs etc all quite near. owners very friendly. Would recommend.
We live and work in London and have owned Bacons and Little Bacons (previously known as the Hovel) since 1991. The main house has been a lovely family home and more recently the Hovel has been fully refurbishd and has made into a lovely place to stay; the children are now 'grown-up' but we still love to come down to stay when we can, to enjoy the wonderful peace and tranquility.
Quiet, cosy, beautiful cottage ideal for a romantic stay, with plenty of lovely walks directly from the front gate. The cottage also provides a quiet and peaceful enviroment for work or study with good broadband wi-fi.
