We absolutely loved the Cottage Lodge, and would happily recommend to anyone considering a visit to the New Forest. The William 1st is really spacious, and the bathroom with double shower and corner bath is fantastic. This place has a really welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The staff are brilliant. Definitely the best B and B ever. Can't... More

We had such a fabulous stay - great value using a voucher from livingsocial. Ponies were wandering outside when we turned up and the warm snug, tea and homemade cake were a great way to get warm when we arrived. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, without being over the top. We had a 4 poster room...Gillies Holt. It gorgeous,... More

If you want to stay somewhere that includes free cake and coffee this is the place to be! A warm welcome with very friendly staff, I felt very much as if I was in a good quality hotel with extra attentive service. The rooms were very well equipped with full tv service and internet connection. There were more pillows and... More

We stayed in the William 1 room which was warm well equiped with a corner bath and double shower , we also took the opportunity to have breakfast in our room which at no... More

Our first visit to the New Forrest and The Cottage Lodge was the perfect place to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. The "snug" was a cute, very cosy communal room where complimentary cake and hot beverages were offered, very nice touch! Lots of local information was avaliable for all to view, including restaurant menus... More

I was extremely impressed by this b&b! As soon as i arrived i was greeted by a very friendly member of staff who showed me to a communal room where i was given a complimentary tea and cake. Fantastic after a 2 hour drive! The last thing guests want to do is stand for 15minutes whilst they are booked in... More

My girlfriend and I have just come back from 5 nights at the Cottage Lodge in Brockenhurst. The place does indeed live up to all its positive reviews. The staff were welcoming, and left you to come and go as you pleased. Service when it was needed was excellent, and the breakfasts were generous and used local produce wherever possible... More

Hard to overstate the quality of this little/big b&b. Lovely warm welcome, delicious and generous breakfast, clean, well-equipped room with much more space than we thought likely from such a petite building, including spacious en suite. It's in an ideal location for biking, walking, running and visiting other New Forest towns, and it's served by a station (short walk) and... More

We have just returned from a 2-day stay at the Cottage Lodge. I really can't understand the 'unloved' comments that others have posted. The building is clearly much-loved and characterful. Our room was definitely better than the 2 star comparison provide by the owner - spacious with a king-size bed and an ensuite with both a bath (albeit a little... More
