Tucked along a tranquil country lane, this secluded retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.Set against a backdrop of rustling trees and open fields, this off-grid-style haven offers the perfect base for walking, cycling, or horse riding along the area's many scenic trails. Wander through your own slice of countryside, where a friendly Shetland pony grazes nearby, and the rest of the land is yours to roam freely.Though it feels a world away, Hilltop Farm is just a short drive from the enchanting New Forest and the historic market town of Romsey. On-site, gather around the firepit for starlit conversations or relaxed outdoor cooking, while little ones discover the woodland swing and whimsical fairy garden.Your stay includes access to five shepherds' huts thoughtfully spaced throughout the grounds, encouraging a true retreat experience. The charming bathroom hut features a roll-top bath with shower taps for a rustic soak after a day outdoors - there is NO stand up shower. Please note that the beds are cozy and may not suit taller guests, and the second hut offers a small double daybed.In keeping with the peaceful setting, the site remains a quiet escape — perfect for wildlife watching and forest bathing. While sheep may occasionally graze nearby, and some areas are fenced for safety, guests are welcome to explore the surroundings at their leisure. The access track is rural and uneven, so low-clearance vehicles should approach with care.Any extra guests must be arranged in advance.Please note that there is an unfenced pond on site. We kindly ask that children are supervised at all times for their safety.There is no heating available inside of the huts.Come to Hilltop Farm to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in the slow, grounding rhythm of countryside life.The garden is not fenced off so dogs will need to be monitored/kept on a lead. Pet policy: We love welcoming four-legged friends, but due to the nearby livestock, we can only accommodate small well-behaved dogs ## Property amenities ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total - Fee: GBP 25 - Service animals exempt from fees ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 807 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34420000/34415000/34414913/0bb8703e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Close to Peppa Pig World, New Forest and South coast ROMSEY - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=34414913&PinnedHotelID=34414913&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118470000/118466000/118465980/ce79707a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy A-Frame cabin nestled in the chalk steams of Hampshire Winchester - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $303 CA $401 total includes taxes & fees Oct 16 - Oct 17 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=118465980&PinnedHotelID=118465980&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/120000/116100/116027/26bd91d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Forest Lodge Lyndhurst - Pool - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.2 Very good 217 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=116027&PinnedHotelID=116027&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Heartwood Plaza 7,Hot Tub Pet Free (5+2)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82960000/82956600/82956532/067b40c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sandy Balls Holiday Village Fordingbridge - Pool - Spa - Pet-friendly - Parking included 8.4 Very good 95 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=82956532&PinnedHotelID=82956532&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, desk, WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104380000/104370400/104370361/09dae387.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic Urban Oasis: Walk-In Shower, Garden w/Terrace Banister's Park - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=104370361&PinnedHotelID=104370361&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Superior Double Room, 1 King Bed](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/15000000/14830000/14826300/14826210/aa507ca9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Peat Spade Inn Stockbridge - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 9.4 Exceptional 132 reviews CA $83 CA $99 total includes taxes & fees Oct 12 - Oct 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=14826210&PinnedHotelID=14826210&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45760000/45755000/45754992/da15cb25.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful holiday home on the outskirts of the New Forest.
