Lovely cottage with outstanding views from the lounge. A nice welcome pack on arrival. Everything thought of for an enjoyable & comfortable stay. Spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Weavers Lodge; plenty to see & explore within the New Forest and slightly further afield to the coastal villages; that overlook the Isle of Wight. Our hosts both Claire & Garry pleasant & helpful with any queries.
