Barn vacation rentals in New Forest District

Just returned from a long weekend, staying at The Barn at Rotherwood. We were a group of 4 adults (2 couples) and had a great time. The Barn was perfect for us - really comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Debbie was very responsive and left us a really generous welcome hamper for our arrival - thank you Debbie! It was perfectly situated, on the edge of Itchenor, and was easy to get to Chichester, Bosham and the Witterings from there. We would recommend staying here!

Our stay was lovely, the location is very pretty with lots of wildlife, we saw deer, heard owls and lots of songbirds. Chris was proactive from the moment we booked and he made extra efforts to make sure we were met on arrival. The premises were very clean and well equipped. The various instructions for arrival and use of the amenities were very good and clear. The location was ideal for exploring the forest and also to get to the coast and Salisbury which is a lovely city. We also enjoyed walks from the barn for both country walking and the ability to get to Fordingbridge where there were good pubs and restaurants.

Great little place and a fantastic host

Good points: Clear helpful instructions to this quiet and peaceful location Just like photos. Stylishly decorated Homemade jams and granola, honey, yoghurt, and bought-in croissants, tea and coffee left for us Very good log burner Natasha recommended a great pub nearby Slight quibbles- (hyper critical): Shower room a little functional Fair amount of owner's stuff about - e.g material swatches, 'Dad rock' albums and hifi . Overall, I recommend highly.

This is an outstanding, peaceful retreat with top of the line fixtures and fittings. Melanie is very welcoming and friendly and the type of host who thinks of all the small details to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. The bedding and mattress were truly comfortable. The barn is such a beautiful, light space. We were after a quiet retreat in nature, and this was it! Horses, sheep, nesting birds on the doorstep and within very close proximity (5 minute drive) to Haslemere. We spent one day exploring in Winchester, as I'd never been - a great place! Good restaurants, cafés etc and a rich history. We will definitely come back!

We have just arrived home after the most wonderful stay at John’s Barn. Bobbie was the perfect host - and the property - well, all you can say is wow! Our transport-mad toddler absolutely loved the tractor, playground and toy chest - and of course, seeing the real tractor, trailer and diggers nearby. We will be back! Thank you for everything Bobbie and family x

Kate was a fantastic host. The accommodation had everything we could need and was spotlessly clean. It’s in a fantastic location, very close to city centre but in a very quiet road and close to a brilliant pub. We will definitely check availability next time we return to Bath!

A second very comfortable stay, thank you! This is a beautiful, well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfy property. The hot tub is brilliant, with lovely views over the fields behind. We also appreciated all the thought that has gone into making guests comfortable, from the fresh milk and local cheese in the fridge, to the home made cake, to the stove made up ready to light, and not to forget the extremely comfy beds. Communication was always prompt, friendly and helpful - we were very grateful for the flexibility around check in and check out times. We will hope to come back!

Nicky and Mark’s place is beyond perfection! Waking up to a picturesque farm with lots of sheep was unexpectedly calming! My husband and I could gaze at the view all day long. Everything exceeds our expectations. We could really feel how much care and effort they put into designing this Airbnb, aesthetically and practically. All the home decorations go so well with the wooden fixtures and neutral colors. The amount of windows and lights make the house very well-lit. The kitchen is stocked with seasonings and tools for guests to cook with no fuss. Complimentary milk and flowers were offered too. A great selection of books and games were supplied. I particularly love how they support their community by promoting local businesses and attractions in their house guide and curating tons of reading materials about the surroundings and Wiltshire. This is hands down the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. This barn house honestly is the best place to rewind and recharge. Will definitely come back!

Was perfect for a Valentines getaway! We are so grateful to Sam and Adrian for extending their hospitality, they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make sure we had plenty of information about the surrounding area! We have to give our thanks also to William who provided lots of snacks and drinks through his tuck shop :) The barn itself was cosy yet spacious, the bed was super comfortable and water pressure in the shower was decent. The kitchen was fully-equipped for us to make a beef wellington on Valentines night!! Even the temperatures were near freezing - that didn’t stop us from taking full advantage of the fire place out on the patio! Overall we had a wonderful stay and would love to come and stay again! Thank you again Sam, Adrian and William!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Thatch. Lisa was a fantastic host, and we particularly loved the animals, especially Horace the peacock. The location was perfect, as were the scones and prosecco that we greatly appreciated! They were a lovely extra touch. The Airbnb was very cosy, had everything we could have needed, and there was great attention to detail. All in all a wonderful stay!

Lovely, quaint property. Excellent food recommendations from Laura. Very responsive and friendly host.

We had such a lovely stay at Catherine's. Its a beautiful and cleverly converted, cosy little barn that was really pleasant to stay in. The location is very private and we really felt like we had the space to ourselves. Everything we could possibly need was provided including a welcome basket and a pint of milk. Catherine's communication was excellent including updates on local road works and she made sure we had a space to park. With plenty of good places to eat nearby, wonderful views and lots of interesting sites to visit it's a cracking location. Can highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Kim’s property, it was the perfect location to get to Bath, Bristol and head into the Cotswolds. Everything was clean, neat and tidy when we arrived. There was plenty of utensils and various items available for us to cook with and we didn’t feel like we were missing anything. Recommended. If we are ever in the area we will be sure to stay here again!

We could not have asked for any more. Beautiful accommodation and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed so great night's sleep. Only 5 minutes walk to the town where there were ample restaurants to choose from. 8 minute drive to local gin distillery called Still Sisters, highly recommend but do get a taxi as the gin cocktails are delicious. Victoria and Matt were very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We are already telling our family and friends to book asap. !!

The whole property is beautiful, comfortable, and very well kept. Bubbly is a friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive host. We found the conservatory to be a high point of the property - it is a lovely light and warm space to spend time even when it's a bit chilly outside. The snacks, milk, tea and coffee that Bubbly had left for us were a nice touch. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and serve a delicious birthday feast. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at The George pub which was a 5-minute drive away. It felt like we were out in the country and yet it is walking distance to the main road through Backwell with all the convenience that provides. Overall a wonderful place and a very enjoyable stay. Thank you!

The barn was just what we needed, a base to stay in to explore the island. The nature of the site means that there were a few creepy crawlies throughout our stay, it turned into a little sport as to what creatures we would find in the bathroom, daily. Not a criticism just something my husband wanted me to mention as this was a problem for him. The host was very friendly and showed us around explaining bits and bobs. The pub is worth a mention we ate there twice and both times were amazing. Sunday roast to die for and an evening meal all met with a friendly smile and chat, within walking distance, wear wellies. Just to the lane a small run farm shop with an honesty payment scheme, good local produce (not cheap) delicious cheese.

It’s been a lovely week long stay at Carol’s whilst in the area to visit family. The accommodations are attractive, cosy and comfortable and decorated tastefully for Christmas on this occasion. We greatly appreciated the flexible check in after our long flight and having the essentials on hand, including delicious baked goods. We had no difficulty parking and found the location very quiet and peaceful. Marshfield is delightful with its cafe, a couple of local shops and 2 pubs. We frequented them all. The Catherine Wheel hosted our son in the BnB and he was comfortable and well fed. We also gathered there for a couple of meals in large groups and great food with excellent service were consistently provided. Sweetapples Teashop just down the road is good for breakfast, specialty coffee and an afternoon sweet treat after a hike. I can’t recommend this accommodation and the village of Marshfield enough.

We visited Vanessa's cottage with our friends (group of 6) for two nights from 28th Feb 2025. We wanted somewhere that was spacious enough for the 6 of us, but that was also walkable to Glastonbury and near to a local pub for food etc. This cottage did not disappoint. The living area is very large with an open fire, three arm chairs and a three seater sofa. The kitchen is spacious with everything you need, and the bedrooms were a comfortable size. The view from the window across the fields was fantastic and we even spotted a local deer. The Lion Pub is around a 30 minute walk away, and Glastonbury Tor and Glastonbury itself is around a 3 mile walk (you can get the bus back if you don't fancy the return leg on foot). We weren't disturbed at all. We didn't use the games room but it looked really good. Vanessa was also gracious enough to allow us to park there 2 hours before check in so we could walk to The Lion to get lunch. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic stay, really well appointed and just as described. Excellent local recommendations as well.

Thank you Holly for a wonderful stay - we had a lovely long weekend with our children and friends. The barn is beautiful, comfortable, warm and had everything we could need. The space was perfect for us. The hosts were super responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Would 100% recommend for anyone considering staying here and we would definitely return.

Spacious and comfortable with all amenities

The cottage was lovely, perfect for what we needed. Its was very clean, well equipped, beds are extremely comfortable. Sally was a great host, very responsible and accommodating, especially with our checkin and checkout times and what to do in the area. There are beatiful walks nearby and the beach is a 15min drive. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks Sally! X

we had a wonderful New Year stay at this gorgeous barn. We received a very warm welcome from Jack, Hayley and Meadow and soon settled in. The accommodation was great and the surrounding area is beautiful. The barn was warm and cosy and the views from the windows were stunning. Our dogs enjoyed the walks in the surrounding fields and copse, especially the stream. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would definitely like to return.
