“The Old Byre is a beautifully presented, spacious house.”

The friendly owners have provided everything anyone could possibly need. The house is very warm and comfortable. It's set in a quiet area with countryside views but just a short drive to the New Forest and towns. The garden is safe and secure for our dog. The log burner was a real treat in the evenings. We had a lovely, restful week. I'm already planning our return.....

“This property was perfect for us.”

Met all our needs and provided all the home comforts. In fact we didn't need to fully unpack, dog towels n blankets, games were all on hand. Lots of local info, we found lots to do within a few miles of the cottage. I'm sure we will be back again

Martin January 2025

“We had a wonderful time at the Old Byre.”

The property was perfect for our needs and for our two dogs, who enjoyed themselves immensely. It was cold during our visit, so the log burning stove was particularly welcome. The kitchen was very well equipped, which we really appreciate as we're keen cooks, and there was a whole host of books and puzzles and games for those inclined. Book with confidence!

- Martin, January 2025

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We glad you had a good time and look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

Carole October 2024

“An absolutely amazing property, a beautiful house with everything we could possibly need for a wonderful stay!”

The hosts were friendly and welcoming giving helpful local recommendations and proving wine, popcorn along with local eggs, milk and cakeon our arrival. We really felt at home as did our dog with a cosy bed and a stack of towels and throws. Without doubt the best accommodation and hosting we have experienced!

Len October 2024

“This has to be THE most comfortable well facilitated cottage we have ever stayed in, we couldn't have wanted for more.”

Nora and Martin are on hand at all times if any help was needed. The cottage is beautiful and a true home from home. We felt relaxed as soon as we walked in the door and there is truly everything you could need for a cottage stay and enough games to play for months let alone a week. The attention to the small things is what sets this apart from other self catering cottages from pans, plates, cutlery, spices, more mugs than I've ever seen and more equipment for cooking than we have at home, towels a lovely welcome pack and they went beyond to provide for our twin toddler grandsons. Compared to some places we have stayed where there is just enough for the amount of people staying The Old Byre is streets ahead. If only all holiday let's were this good. Thank you Nora and Martin keep up the great work.

- Len, October 2024

Dear Len and family Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are so pleased to share The Old Byre Woodfalls with you and all it's facilities, and glad you enjoyed it's relaxing atmosphere and location. We hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner
Kamila October 2024

“Dear Martin and Nora, We wanted to express our thanks for the incredible experience we had at Old Byre.”

Your home provided the perfect sanctuary for us to unwind, recharge, and escape the stresses of everyday life. We’ve traveled the UK for 17 years, and without a doubt, our stay at Old Byre was the most exceptional and memorable. The unique charm of the property, coupled with your warm hospitality, created an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your kindness, and for answering all of our questions about the local area. Your genuine care for our well-being and for Harley made us feel truly at home. We hope to return to Old Byre in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

- Kamila, October 2024

Nora and Martin made us very welcome with a variety of goodies. The property is a home from home, very comfortable and tastefully furnished with everything you could possibly need during your stay. We loved the peaceful rural setting and the proximity to the New Forest. Hopefully we will make a return visit one day as this is a very special cottage.

“This is a place that I and my family would return to and recommend to others.”

The owners have set it up as a home from home, there is pretty much everything that you will need provided for your stay. The location is ideally located to discover both sides of the Solent. The hosts are very approachable and happy to help with any questions. We managed to wear out our two spaniels while walking in the local area.

Herminia Esperanza August 2024

“Thank you Nora and Martin for having the house so homely.”

We had everything we needed, it had every little detail. It's a great location, Mollie, the horse said hello every morning :) I greatly enjoyed having a coffee in the mornings looking at the cows and the stunning views. Nora was amazing, she even got a hat for my daughter on our last day. She loved wearing it at Windsor Castle on our way back home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes nature and comfort.

- Herminia Esperanza, August 2024

Thank you so much for your super review.. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and your daughter loved her hat! Nature and Comfort is what it's all about! Property Owner
Carol July 2024

“Nora and Martin had thought of everything.”

The house was immaculate comfortable and extremely well equipped. The welcome pack thoughtful and imaginative right down to cake and birthday napkins (for my husband’s birthday). Everything was new and well thought about. The view from the house was lovely. We spent most meals outside and the only rainy day we spent in Salisbury cathedral. We loved the walks locally and enjoyed drinks and food in the Goat in Downton. We would definitely like to come back.

- Carol, July 2024

Thank you for your super feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed The Old Byre and surrounding area. See you again soon! Property Owner
Ewen June 2024

“What a beautiful place to stay!”

Packed full of thoughtful touches, Nora and Martin have stopped at nothing to make our holiday and stay at the Old Byre a truly memorable experience. The Old Byre was ‘home from home’ only better, everything that would make our stay comfortable and enjoyable has been thought about from the most delightful decor, the most comfortable beds, all home comforts as well as essentials, all cooking equipment and kitchen appliances and a helpful welcome basket of goodies to get you started with your first cup of tea taking in the beautiful country garden and surrounding views. The area is a perfect location with limitless places to visit within easy reach including the New Forest on your doorstep and the Jurassic coast with stunning beaches and fun days out like Longleat Safari. Whether you want family days out, full on adventure sports or quite walks and country pubs this location will suit any visitor. We would highly recommend a visit to the Old Byre, be prepared to stay longer than you planned as you won’t want to go home. Thank you Nora and Martin.

- Ewen, June 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so happy to share The Old Byre with you and it's beautiful location. Property Owner

The property

The Old Byre is a picturesque cottage located in the charming village of Woodfalls in Wiltshire.

Nestled between Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and New Forest National Park, this abode offers an idyllic and peaceful retreat for families, friends and their furry companions.

Step into your new home away from home to find a rustic and beautifully-decorated space with beams and vaulted ceilings.

Here you'll find a lovely bespoke country-style hand painted kitchen with feature lighting crafted out of old milk churns, where you'll whip up delicious meals to enjoy in the dining room or out on the patio when the sun is shining.

Retreat to the lounge and sink into the plush sofas by the woodburning stove for a well-deserved post-dinner nap or to watch a movie on the TV.

You'll also have access to the property's vast collections of books so you can pour into countless stories during your stay.

As the day winds down, take a relaxing bath or shower before slipping under the freshly-washed linens of the soft beds.

Venture out to visit the village and stop at the village shop to stock up on some essentials.

If you don't feel like cooking check out The Woodfalls Inn for a delicious and hearty meal or Kings Head with its beer garden you can sit out in when it's warm.

A short drive away you'll find the stunning medieval city of Salisbury where you can stroll through and take pictures of the imposing Salisbury Cathedral, home to the Magna Carta.

Then, head for a picnic at Harnham Water Meadows, a serene nature preserve with walking tours.

End this day trip with a visit to the National Trust's 18th-century Mompesson House.

Take the scenic route to wonderful port city of Southampton and discover more about the history of the Titanic at SeaCity Museum, visit the restored Tudor House & Garden with a on-site cafe where you can stop for lunch and why not end the day with a family dinner at the waterside Banana Wharf?

Or visit the fabulous Paultons Park.

The Old Byre promises an unforgettable stay for everyone.
