About this property

Stunning Cottage | New Forest | Families | Friends

The Tack Room at High Forest Cottages is a stunning three bedroom, two bathroom cottage. It can accommodate up to eight people in the peaceful North of the New Forest. Two of the bedrooms can be configured as a Superking or two singles - just let us know your preference when you book. The third bedroom has a comfortable king sized bed. You will love staying here with your friends or family, enjoying long walks or cycle rides in the Forest straight from your cottage or visiting the quaint Forest villages.

Nestled in the ancient North Ridge of The New Forest National Park, The Tack Room provides a peaceful hideway to relax and enjoy the unique beauty of the forest. Situated within the forest boundary, inside the cattle grid areas, our regular visitors include the famous ponies and cattle that make the forest such a stunning wildlife environment. Whilst deer are a rare sight, we often welcome a small herd into the paddocks outside The Tack Room, to enjoy some free grazing!

The Tack Room is a beautifully decorated and furnished three bedroom cottage, with its own private garden and gorgeous views across our paddocks and the forest beyond. The open plan living space has comfortable sofas, a wood burning stove, TV and BD/DVD player. There are books, games and toys for your use.

The kitchen and dining area are open plan to the living space and the kitchen has everything you need to cook lovely dinners, if you don't want to head to one of the many lovely pubs in the area. It has an electric hob, oven and microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, cleaning products, dish cloths and tea towels are provided. Milk, coffee, tea and sugar are provided on arrival. The spacious dining table seats eight comfortably.

Two of the bedrooms have a superking size bed, which if you prefer can be set up as two single beds. The third bedroom has a comfortable king sized bed. We provide high quality towels and bedlinen for each of our guests. There is plenty of hanging and shelf space for clothes and other belongings in each bedroom.

The spacious family bathroom, has a lovely showerbath, toilet and basin, with plenty of storage space for your own toiletries. Additionally there is a stylish shower room, with walk in shower, basin and toilet.

For our young guests we can provide travel cots, high chairs, an electric steriliser and playmats. The kitchen is supplied with bowls, plates, cups and cutlery suitable for toddlers. Being parents of twins ourselves we fully appreciate what travelling with little ones involves and would like to do anything to make going away easier! If you have any special requests, please do ask!

Nice cottage!
We can look back at a nice and comfortable stay at the Tack Room. Nicely situated in the New Forest: just cross the street and stroll around in a beautiful landscape (don’t forget to bring your wellies). A very clean, warm and quiet place. Complete kitchen, but with limited storage space for a family of seven. Comfortable beds, but a bit too short for my length.wifi is fast (Starlink) and reliable.

Luxury cottage in the New forest
Our group was 4 adults and 2 children (5 & 8) and we stayed in late May. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable and more on the firm side. The property is right on the edge of the New Forest and you can take walks straight from the cottage. We saw ponies everyday we were there without ever getting in the car. The host was helpful, friendly and answered any queries quickly. The nearby wildlife sanctuary is a good with kids, if you have them. Very excited to return here for another visit

Happy New Year
We had a lovely time in Wiltshire. Astrid was very welcoming and quick to respond to questions and requests. We were a group of 7 + 1 baby staying in the Tack Room. There was more than enough space, whether it was for sleeping, eating, or lounging about. Astrid also provided a cot for the little one which was very handy. We split our time driving to places in Sailsbury and relaxing inside. It was 100% exactly what we wanted and couldn't recommend the stay more.

An excellent New Forest retreat
We stayed at the Tack Room in the High Forest Cottage to meet up with Daughter in Law and Grandchildren. The Tack Room is well laid out, well furnished and cosy with underfloor heating. It worked very well for us with a large dining table on which to play family games. We will definitely return.

A perfect spring break
The Tack Room offered ideal accommodation for a spring break in the New Forest. It was very well fitted-out and suited our family group extremely well. The location was very convenient too.

The location of High Forest Cottages is fantastic, our stay was perfect. Astrid was a perfect host.
We used 'Tack cottage' as our base whilst attending a family wedding nearby. Having grown up near the New Forest and since moved away to Bristol returning for a weekend, to actually be able to stay within the forest, was a real treat. We had Deer bouncing across the road before arriving at the cottages and then actually saw them grazing in the field beyond.... The nearby villages are lovely and with It positioned nicely between Romsey, Salisbury and Southampton it was perfect for catching up with our family and friends. The Barn @Barford Farm was a great location for the Wedding of my niece. High Forest cottages the perfect location to be. A fantastic time was had at the wedding and a Beautiful relaxing experience was had in the lovely Tack Cottage... we could want for no more. Thank-You Astrid for a fantastic stay. Looking forward to our next time soon x

About the host

Hosted by Astrid & Mark Beston

Host profile image
Mark and I both had successful careers in London, but since the birth of our twins we decided to move to the New Forest and run our own business.

Why they chose this property

We bought the house and cottages in 2014 and have undertaken major renovations of the guest accommodation. We love the location in the peaceful north of the New Forest with lovely walks straight from our doorstep.
