Fantastic house for big friends family group

We had a wonderful stay in the Studio. We went with four families and all had plenty of space and loved the garden, BbQ, hot tub and surrounding forest. Only 15 mins to the beach! Timo the host was great, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Great property for a long weekend!

This property is ideal for a large group of friends or family. It comfortably accommodated 8 of us across 3 generations, including 2 small children - a great kitchen, lots of sleeping, chill out and dining options, plus plenty of bathrooms! We lit the huge log burner each evening (logs provided) as a little chilly, which was lovely and cosy. The garden is large, mature and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating plus a bbq and firepit, and we made full use of the hot tub. Enough space too for children to explore and play, very safe. Communication with Timo was great, he was patient with our questions and responded very quickly. An added bonus was having the lovely Luigi cook us a fabulous Italian meal, he was great fun and so patient and kind with our 7 year old whom he had as his “sous chef”! Ringwood forest, moors valley country park and go ape are easily accessible either walking out of the back gate or a short drive. Parking is plentiful and safe as gated. All in all, a fabulous weekend. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the property, although quirky, very clean and welcoming, is tired and in need of some tlc and maintenance in places.

The Studio

This was a lovely property in a beautiful location. The garden was great for the two dogs that we brought. The host showed us around when we arrived and said if we needed anything just to ring this was comforting. The only slight draw back was it could have been a little cleaner in fact there were a pair of knickers under one of the beds presumably left by a previous tenant!

May Bank Holiday

Communication right from the start was excellent, couple of questions we had before we arrived were quickly answered and Timo and Steven went out of their way to make the entire garden Puppy safe before we arrived. The house and grounds are wonderful, spacious and spotlessly clean and tidy. Facilities are excellent with gas and charcoal BBQ, hot tub and all the cutlery and tableware you could need. Very modern kitchen. Loads of room for family we had 8 and a dog but room to spread out if you want time on your own. BBQ and patio area are amazing as is the conservatory. Ringwood Forest is just through the gate in garden. Fantastic location for New Forest. Hosts are available but left us to get on and enjoy a great family weekend. Cannot recommend Timo, Steve and the Studio highly enough.

Perfect for a family celebration

A well appointed, very comfortable and spacious property within beautiful mature gardens. Lots of different seating areas. The hot tub, sauna and plunge pool were a big attraction. Luigi was our on site chef for a special birthday dinner and the meal was superb. All questions and requests received quick and helpful responses. Enjoyed the close proximity to Moors Valley Park. There was traffic noise from Horton Road but that in no way diminished our enjoyment of the property. Highly recommend.

A beautiful Property

A lovely property, ideal for 11 of us from 93 years to 5 years old. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area was perfect for us all to be together. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The hot tub was great, and being able to walk out of the garden gate into the forest was lovely. The fire pit was an added bonus. The property is well placed for visits to the New Forest. Altogether an amazing family Easter.

Fabulous cottage with loads of history and great location

The studio is even better than it looks in the photos. Superbly equipped with everything you need for a family stay. The hot tub is brilliant too. The location is right by Moors Valley Woods which is excellent. Lots of lovely walks. Timo made us feel very welcome and helped with everything we need and then left us to enjoy a great family weekend. It’s a great entertaining space. We loved it.

Welcoming

We arrived in the pouring rain and cold only to find Timo our host had lit two open fires for us. One was in the large hall /snug and the other in the beautiful open lounge dining room. We settled in and had a very relaxing weekend with our family. We all enjoyed the hot tub, which was hot and clean. We walked in the forest which was in the grounds of the house. I hope that we come here again, probably in the warmer months just so we can take more advantage of the very large garden. Thank you Timo for looking after us.

Lovely spacious cottage with Hot Tub - great location for families

We had a great time in this updated Cottage next to Moors Valley Forest - it has a big, spacious living area and also a conservatory leading onto the garden. Nice secluded sections to the garden including a fab outdoor dining area under a pergola. Hot Tub used loads by us all and Disco lights were a hit with the kids at night! Beds very comfy and the kitchen was brand new and very well equipped. Location is excellent for family days out - you have the moors valley country park right next door and you can access the forest from the end of the garden - we went running there in the morning, lovely! Loads of other stuff nearby - we had a great trip out to Mudeford Quay and ferry to the gorgeous beaches, and we visited the Aqua Park and had a fab meal at the Alice Lisle pub (service not great but location and food made up for it - lovely!). Timo and family were easy to contact and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for a brilliant few days!

About the host

Hosted by Timo Gleed

The Art Studio is one of 5 rental properties managed by our family, a business which has been running for 40 years. Timo and Gabi will be your hosts and look after you during your stay. Our Italian Chef Luigi is available for booking also!

Why they chose this property

The property is conveniently located on the edge of the New Forest and with quick access to beaches of Bournemouth. The property was built in 1905 as an Art Studio for my Great Grandmother who was an accomplished painter. The Art Studio living room was designed with roof high north facing windows which maximise natural light, which now provides beautiful views to the gardens and forest. Six generations of our family have lived in this family home, and has now been remodelled and refurnished as a holiday rental. The house layout is spacious and ideal for large family groups who love cooking and indoor / outdoor dining

What makes this property unique

The property is blend of the modern & traditional, with ample indoor and outdoor dining possibilities, equipped with a modern kitchen (2021) and modern bathrooms, with large tables ideal for family dining and get-togethers. The property is on the edge of the Dorset/Hampshire border, backing on to Ringwood Forest, the western edge of the New Forest and is only 10 mins drive to the beaches of Bournemouth. We also have a WW2 Army Bunker on the edge of the Forest which we have converted into a modern Finnish Sauna & plunge pool, and is available for booking.
