The New Forest National Park is easily accessible and offers miles of picturesque walking and riding routes, taking in many popular villages along the way. The village itself offers a choice of local conveniences or for those seeking an afternoon of retail therapy, Salisbury and Southampton are easily accessible by car or if you would rather leave the car at home, located at the end of the road is bus stops for routes to Salisbury and Bournemouth.

A separate WC can be found leading on from here and an inner hallway, ideal for storing muddy boots. A winding staircase leads to the first floor and a charming king size bedroom with an enclosed balcony and distant countryside views. A contemporary en-suite shower room with WC completes this floor. Due to its setting within the eaves, there are some areas of restricted head height in the bedroom and shower room, which only add to its charm.

I really enjoyed my stay at "Little Borough", it was a very comfortable property in a quiet and peaceful location. It was also very handily situated close to all amenities in the village including the convenient nearby bus stops for travel to the surrounding areas.

We've stayed in a lot of cottages and Little Borough ranks along with the best, we had a nice stay. We didn't feel we were short of anything during our stay, It was a bit like home from home, it's very quiet but with the bonus of being easy to access, the local Co-op has more than everything you could need, the local pubs are very good and there's Read moresome good walks on your doorstep. Most of all Raymond and Sue were just the nicest people. We had a good week. Hide

The property was ideal for a couple. It was spacious, well equipped and comfortable with private parking just outside the door. Downton is a quiet village and we had several walks alongside the River Avon. There is a supermarket and a lovely cafe within easy walking distance.

A delightful compact holiday cottage - two toilets a bonus. Modern, comfortable and ultra clean with everything we could need. The welcome pack was well thought out. Owners very helpful. We have a classic car and the secure parking in front of the windows was ideal. Perfect for visiting Beauleigh and the surrounding New Forest area. Roman Villa neaRead morerby worth a visit. Coop nearby for all our needs and excellent chippy. Downton is a lovely quiet village with lovely walks along the riverside. Hide

Very clean, all necessary equipment, welcome pack with tea ,scones ,butter and jam. Very tiny outdoor area with views blocked by a wooden fence - could be made more attractive with a few pots of plants.
