Tina
Our hosts welcomed us but were not intrusive and provided us with a lovely welcome pack and all the information we need to really enjoy our stay. The location is perfect for treks into the forest, great pub lunches or dinners and excursions further afield if you want to get out in the car, but there is really no need. We would 100% recommend Foxes Earth

Its location is ideal for exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas. Foxes Earth has everything you need and is tastefully decorated and finished to a very high standard. The owners are next door and are very welcoming and check with you that everything is ok. We have no problems recommending Foxes Earth and wouldn't hesitate about staying there again.
