Every need catered for, comfortable cottage, wonderful location, 5 minutes stroll onto open forest, 10 minutes drive to Lymington ferry to Isle of Wight, Beaulieu & Exbury Gardens on the doorstep. Nearby pubs & community shop. A perfect holiday!
Excellent stay! House is very comfortable and well equipped and was super-clean. Very friendly communication with owners. Walks in the NF right on the doorstep, but needed a car for everything else.
We stayed here for a weekend break, with 3 adults, a 4 year old and 19m old.
Communication with jenny and Iain was fantastic from the booking to check out.
Check in was really straightforward and we were welcomed with a few gifts and personal note.
The accommodation was clean, spacious and homely.
They provided us with a travel cot and mattress, high chair, kids tablewear/cutlery, toys and games.
All the beds were comfy, the location is quiet and peaceful we all slept really well.
Myself, my Mum and two sisters had a wonderful stay here.
The cottage is perfect and extremely homely. It's in a great location as only a short drive to the local towns and beaches.
We got our food (Tesco) shop delivered with no problems at all and got to see lots of wild donkeys.
We would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend for others to stay here too.
Thank you very much Jenny and Ian :-) xx
The perfect location and a real home from home (but much tidier!). The moment we set foot in the cottage we felt relaxed and ready to make all the final preparations necessary.
Jenny was really accommodating when we made our enquiry as we needed to be sure it was OK for the wedding car, photographer etc to arrive on the Saturday which was all fine.
The cottage is quiet, spacious and very comfortable, it would make a perfect base for a longer stay from which to really discover all the New Forest has to offer. Thank you so much, despite one of the wettest weekends of the year we were able to have the ideal base to work from. Perfect!!
What a wonderful accommodation in a fantastic location. Our host kept in contact to make sure our stay was comfortable. Such a peaceful area and yet so close to walks in the New Forest.
The surrounding towns were worth visiting.
All I can say is that 2 nights werenât long enough so need to return as soon as possible.
I cannot thank Jenny and Ian enough for letting us stay in their wonderful property. It was absolutely beautiful, the surrounding area,the facilities were perfect,and went beyond all expectations. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jenny briefly on arrival she was the perfect hostess. We will definitely recommend her and her gorgeous house to friends and family.
Oak Tree Cottage had everything we needed for a very most comfortable stay, and we were extremely happy with the cottage, itâs cleanliness, amenities, and location.
I had been in contact with Jenny before our stay due to concerns over Covid as having recently had treatment for cancer, I wanted to know about cleanliness etc. I neednât have worried! Jenny explained what cleaning procedures had been carried out and a link to the company whose cleaning products theyâd used. The property was beautifully kept. Off street parking in a quiet area, warm and welcoming - a proper home from home. Ideally situated for a walk on the nearby forest and common area with good access to local places. We did have one issue with a leaking sink plug in the bathroom but I contacted Jenny and the issue was sorted out within a couple of hours. These things happen but itâs about the way it was dealt with as opposed to the issue itself. I would heartily recommend this cottage to anyone for a break - a full five stars from us!
We had a great stay at the property that was in a lovely location with very close access to the New Forest, a short walk along the road.
The property itself was a good size and well-proportioned rooms, and was very well-equipped with everything you could need. It was a nice touch from the owners to leave some treats for us to enjoy.
The cleanliness of the property was second to none, very welcome given the current situation with Covid 19.
We'd certainly like to return at some point.
Thank you Jenny and Ian.
Spacious Cottage Ideal Setting for Exploring the New Forest
This is a spacious cottage well placed to explore the New Forest. It was very clean, well equipped and the hosts were very responsive and even provided a welcome hamper for our arrival. We loved it and hope to return in the future.
We were made to feel very welcome even though the owners could not meet us in person. The cottage was perfectly clean with everything you would possibly need to use, to hand. The owners made it possible for us to contact them if we had a need to. The whole family enjoyed the short stay we had at this lovely cottage and would love to return at another time.
ideal location down country lane leading direct onto the new forest. lovely pub and village shop in walking distance. fittings rather old fashioned in style but cottage very clean cosy and warm with generous sized rooms.
We are Ian & Jenny, a married couple with 3 sons. We own Oak Tree Cottage. We live approximately 10 miles away, and are on hand most of the time for advice and recommendations.
If you are looking for an idyllic New Forest experience, you will find it here in the village of Pilley. The cottage is characterful and cosy, with luxury fittings and fixtures. It has oak flooring, a sunny conservatory leading onto the back patio and a lovely well-equipped farmhouse style kitchen diner with American style fridge freezer. It sits in a private, large corner plot mainly laid to lawn.
Quintessential New Forest location, perfect for exploring everything the New Forest has to offer. Meet the local donkeys at the gate, and see the wild miniature ponies.
