The Old Barn

Lovely spacious barn, clean and comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Return visits can often be a disappointment. Not here; everything as impeccably clean as before, cosy sitting room with log burner and comfy bed. Lovely individual touches with artworks and a more than well equipped kitchen. Self catering maybe but we took breakfast at The Lookout at Lepe with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Good food and view to match. I think a third visit is on the cards as we came home refreshed and relaxed.

The Old Barn was a beautiful roomy and cosy conversion with a small garden which we sat in everyday after exploring this lovely peaceful area of The New Forest and the coastline only a few minutes away! The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped and the Lounge was comfortable to laze in after dining! Thank you Kate and Red for hosting us. Barbara and Terry Powell

We enjoyed a delightful stay in this spacious and tasteful barn conversion, full of home comforts. Well equipped and with lots of inspiration to guide exploring the local area and very handy for Exbury Gardens. It would be lovely to experience this corner of the New Forest in all seasons. The Old Barn is so much more than a holiday bolthole, ideal for relaxing after a busy day walking or cycling round Beaulieu and Buckler’s Hard. Cannot wait to return.

Lovely relaxing stay in The Old Barn. Good facilities and comfortable accommodation. The area is full of interesting towns such as Lymington and many good places to eat. This was our third visit and would recommend as a great place to holiday.

Absolutely perfect base to enjoy the area. Beautifully furnished and amazingly well-equipped. We thought we must be the first visitors to a new conversion, but see that others have loved it too. Thanks to owner Kate who was friendly and helpful. We had planned to eat out a lot but in the end, enjoyed more evenings in because we were so comfortable (and also some of the "smart" restaurant's prices were outrageous). Totally recommended.

Very peaceful & comfortable place to stay. Ideally situated with short drives to the beach and New Forest villages. We stayed for a week but should have booked for two

We had a lovely stay at The Old Barn. Such a comfortable place to stay in the New Forest. It is well equipped with all you need for any stay.It is located in Exbury which is a very peaceful village well situated for the coast, the forest and nearby towns such as Beaulieu and Lymington. The Red Lion in Boldre provides an excellent Sunday Lunch. Overall a memorable holiday.

Fabulous place to stay and explore the New Forest from. Felt like a home from home. Would happily return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at the Old Barn, Exbury. The cottage was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The beautiful strolls through Exbury Gardens and along the river together with the embracing sea breeze and shell collecting as we walked along the Solent shore at Lepe Beach, made for a very relaxing break.

Finding somewhere for an out-of-season getaway isn’t that easy. The Old Barn gave us tranquility, lashings of space, quality furnishings and interesting pictures. Outside the clouds didn’t move so nor did we, apart from a stroll around the village. We needed peace; we needed quiet - we read our books, wrote letters (!) watched a DVD and a bit of TV. We left feeling healed and relaxed. Another successful Sawdays choice.

Very quiet location,excellent property with everything you need, comfy bed , will definitely be returning.perfect for that cosy break.highly recommend

Most enjoyable visit. Accommodation in Old Barn was first class.

I booked the Old Barn for 2 weeks in July. I went on my own, to relax and explore that part of the New Forest. The property is as beautiful as in the pictures, but bigger than it seems. Great spaces to relax, to read, or watch a movie. Kate is very kind and helpful and there is plenty of information if you didn't prepare. The Old Barn is a 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Exbury Gardens, 40 minutes from Lepe beach and plenty of footpaths to explore. Beulieu is not far and offers great choices for food and shopping. I can't wait to get back! Thank you

We had a fabulous week in The Old Barn which offers a comfortably spacious & beautifully secluded place in which to completely relax & unwind. Everything you would need had been thoughtfully provided for by Kate & Red in this immaculate property. We loved The Old Barn & Exbury, a quiet hidden gem of a place, perfectly placed to explore The New Forest & all it has to offer. We really hope to return!

The cottage is clean, tastefully decorated and well appointed. The garden is quiet and lovely with interesting bird life. The cottage is ideally located for visiting tourist sites and long walks.

The Old Barn is a very comfortable place to stay with high standards of furnishing and facilities. The location is very convenient to reaching both the sea and different areas of the New Forest. In particular Exbury Gardens in the village are well worth a visit. Overall we had a lovely relaxing holiday.

A comfortable cottage in a great location.

We had a fabulous week staying at the Old Barn in Exbury. This is a superb cottage, just right for a couple, great kitchen/diner, sitting room and bedroom, very tastefully appointed and clean, the garden was delightful. It was our first stay in the New Forest and the location is an excellent base for exploring, cycling and walking, there is so much to do. Particularly recommend Lepe Country Park, Exbury Gardens, Bucklers Hard/Beaulieu, Keyhaven/Lymington and the Rhinefield area, but lots more besides.

Very spacious accommodation in a beautiful spot in the New Forest. Clean and well equipped. Easy cycle ride to Lepe Country Park from the barn. Blackfield a short drive convenient for groceries.
