'Fallow Deer' is a real life Hansel and Gretel-style cottage for little ones with a healthy dose of style and luxury for parents too. This pretty timber clad cottage is nestled in the heart of the New Forest National Park yet just 20 minutes from the coast, and has the added bonus of 17-acres of private fields and woodlands shared only with the home of the cottage owners and a gaggle of animal friends such as the ever popular rabbits, guniea pig and Shetland pony. It’s the perfect rural hideaway for a family of four looking to escape to the country in search of rest, relaxation and exploration!
The house has been thoughtfully finished with families in mind and a delicious freshly baked cake, selection of homemade jams and a chilled bottle of wine are ready and waiting to put guests at ease on arrival. Once settled in, there’s all host of things to do, keen walkers and mini adventurers can don their wellies and head straight to the woods where an array of walks and wildlife await or, for a special treat, head out to the new Peppa Pig World which is just a short drive away at Paultons Park.
Parents need not feel left out as the owners, grandparents themselves, have managed to create a haven of relaxation – perfect for grown-ups in need of a stress free break! The cosy house has a whole range of thoughtful extras more befitting to a boutique hotel than a country cottage. The fridge can be pre-stocked with online shopping groceries so parents’ barely need to lift a finger, perfect after a busy days exploring. For romantic nights out a babysitter can be arranged whilst mums in need of a pamper can make use of the visiting beautician who can pop into the cottage for a spruce up on request!
Guests can now play 'spot the pony in the meadow' or stargaze from a hot tub in the cottage's private garden.
Accommodation Overview:
The property is set on one level, perfect for families with two bedrooms; a double with king sized bed and pretty twin bed room which can be zip-linked together to form a further king size double. Both bedrooms are finished with luxurious French linens and each contains a wooden cot bed suitable for ages from newborn to toddler. There's a family bathroom with a spacious bath and shower, finished with plentiful fluffy towels and luxury toiletries. The open plan living area has lounge area complete with comfy sofas, a large flat screen TV, DVD player, music system, free WiFi and French doors which open out onto the cottage's private enclosed garden with its stunning views over the fields and woodland beyond. There's a 6-seater farmhouse dining table, a breakfast bar and well equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher.
Dogs are permitted at no extra charge but they must be well behaved and are not permitted on furniture or bedding.
The owners of Fallow Deer also have another two bedroom cottage in the area, Hyde Paddock which can be viewed here or via the similar accommodation button beneath the property details.
Location Information
Despite its peaceful location, in the heart of the New Forest National Park, the cottage is walking distance from the local village with traditional country pubs and handy shop with adjoining cafe and just 20 minutes from the coast. There are plenty of picnic spots, wildlife trails and walks on the doorstep so guests need not stray far but those looking to venture slightly further afield have plenty of options.
Keen shoppers will enjoy exploring the pretty boutiques in the Cathedral city of Salisbury just a short drive away or head for an old fashioned day at the beach with a range of coastal towns within driving distance from Bournemouth to Sandbanks or Mudeford Quay.
For mini guests in need of a treat there are some great options within a short drive including Longdown Farm with its range of friendly farmyard animals, indoor ball pool and BIRO wooden play equipment zone or Paultons Park which has a big range of toddler rides and is home to the new Peppa Pig World .
Lymington is well worth a visit for its great selection of restaurants, boutiques and bistros, which includes the child-friendly Vanilla Bean Café – great for Sunday brunch.

Colette SintonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to have Vicki's expertise and support in finding our family holiday in Zakynthos this summer. After finding out exactly what we hoped for and needed, Vicki was able to find our perfect holiday - we were so looking forward to it and couldn't have been more delighted. Vicki's communication was informative and proactive throughout - our happiness with the arrangements was of the utmost importance to her and I felt I could get in touch with any queries. These were addressed swiftly and efficiently. I really felt like she went the extra mile in helping us plan our holiday and ensuring we were comfortable with all aspects. Highly recommend!! MAGGIE OAKLANDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used baby friendly bolt holes to book a trip to Portugal. Tori was really helpful in helping us book, manage transfers, etc. On our departure day we had unexpected passport issues - Tori was straight on to the hotel and arranged for us to stay a couple of days later than planned. She was brilliant and really diffused the stress of a heart sink situation. Would definitely book with these guys again. Hannah RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since our daughter was born 2.5 years ago, we have booked every single trip away with BFB. We have never been disappointed, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to holidays! They respond so quickly to every query and have got us some great deals. I trust them fully with what are such crucial decisions about our much needed holidays and recommend them to every parent I know! I would be lost without them! Tom DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The matching service was really useful Chris ReddingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I submitted some basic details on their form on a Sunday evening and Tori got back to me the next day. We exchanged several emails and spoke on the phone. Tori was well informed, responsive and thorough. I was able to book a place that looks great with her help. It was great to have help from someone who specialises in family holidays, as our requirements are pretty different now compared to before having kids. I don't actually think I've ever had a personal service to help book a holiday before. Maybe this is what it was like when people used to go to the travel agent on the high street... Thanks Tori and BFB, would recommend and use again. Jessica TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Baby Friendly Boltholes by doing a Google search, and completed their online form with my holiday requirements. They got back to me very quickly with some great recommendations which were also very cost effective. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we're unable to book at this time, but I will definitely go back to Baby Friendly Boltholes when we're in a position to move forward with our booking. Thanks! Joel DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really fast and easy, available on a Sunday to complete our booking. Highly recommended Samantha ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Juliet at babyboltholes enough, from our initial enquiry right through to booking, she was responsive, understanding and patient. I didn’t even know where to start booking our first family holiday, Juliet took onboard all our needs and found us our dream trip. 5 star service for busy parents!
