“Lovely stay in Lyndhurst”
+Great place, very comfortable, lovely welcome pack, which was very much appreciated. Great base to explore the new forest. Short walk to shops, and to get food. Or to walk the new forest around Lyndhurst.

“Fabulous stay”
+The Bothy is a lovely two bed bungalow with spacious double bedrooms. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a dishwasher, a washing machine, a microwave, a large fridge freezer and all the kitchen utensils necessary for a great stay. When we arrived we were greeted with a lovely card welcoming us to Lyndhurst and to start us off, Steph and John had kindly provided us a loaf of bread, some fresh milk and a pot of homemade marmalade that Steph made, which was delicious! There was also a vase of freshly cut flowers which was a really nice touch. We stayed at the bungalow for a week so it meant we needed to go shopping. Luckily, the location of The Bothy is minutes away from Lyndhust village centre where there is a Tesco Express and a variety of shops and restaurants to suit your needs. If you want to head out to a larger supermarket, there is a large Morrisons with a petrol station about 5 miles away. The Bothy is also ideally locatated if you want to start exploring the New Forest on foot or by bike. You can literally step outside and explore what the New Forest has to offer- a short 5-minute walk to Bolton's Bench and across the common to see the ponies is a ni
−To be honest, there were no issues with The Bothy or with the location. The only thing I would say is during rush hour the village roads can get quite busy with traffic so just be mindful of that.
