James and Julia Harrison are local to the Hordle area and are always available to answer any questions our guests may have. We are also on hand should we need to pop into the cottage if there are issues. We are very familiar with our surrounding areas and have a wealth of knowledge of the local attractions and places to eat and visit. We like to keep active in our local community and enjoy all that the New Forest has to offer. We hope you will have a wonderful stay with us at April Cottage!
