Petherton Cottage Studios

Didn’t want to stay in a commercial chain hotel when visiting friends in the new forest so we choose Petherton Cottage and we are so pleased we did! The rooms have been refurbished since we last stayed a few years ago and they are just amazing! Such a high standard and everything you need! Very modern and the comfiest of beds! Kitchen was well equipped for you to be able to cook and the hosts are always so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble! Easy check in with lock box keys and the views of nature/forest all around took us away from the hustle of living in London. Very easy to get to Bournemouth and we loved all the walks and forest areas right on your doorstep! We love to support small businesses and will definitely be back when we’re in the area! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent. Would very happily return and recommend.

The property is located in a secluded location with short drive from local amenities. We really liked the surroundings and it was easy to check-in. Would definitely stay at the place again and recommend to anyone looking for something different other than a typical stay at a hotel.

A lovely stay at Petherton Cottage. It was immaculate and a perfect size for a small family. Great location with lots of things to do nearby!

Lovely accommodation, clear entry instructions and everything we needed as a family really! Only drawback was the busy road outside.

Fortunately we only stayed for one night en route to Dorset. Although superficially the accommodation looked clean it was very dated and shoddy. There were multiple chips in both the paintwork and flooring and everything had clearly been done on the cheap with an extremely poor standard of work to fixtures and fittings, especially in the kitchenette area where the window ledge was also very dirty. Some of the electrical sockets were extension leads attached to the wall! There was a persistent hum coming from a cabinet in the kitchen which was very annoying and needed ear plugs at night to deaden the sound. The shower traps were filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. There was no sink plug in the main bedroom en suite sink which exposed a disgusting view down the very dirty plug hole. Toilet hinges were rusty on one of the toilets. All in all this was a disappointing place to stay and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it and would have hated to have been staying for any longer.

Lovely location, the rooms were beautifully furnished with all you need. Fresh milk for your cuppa tea too! The shower was powerful & very handy to have a kitchen area. Lots of parking & very accommodating hosts. Highly recommend to couples, families or solo travellers

It was a one night stay, we received instructions the day before on how to gain entry to the property via a keysafe, The room was very clean and tidy and had a small kitchenette that came in very handy, We had a lovely continental breakfast delivered warm to us in the morning, We had a really nice time

Love the set up of the room and the breakfast hampers are genius no need to have to be upat a certain time. Great concept. Mattresses could probably do with updating as not the comfiest and certainly done its service to varuous weights and shapes.
