In the historic village of Rockbourne is West Park Farm, a working beef and arable farm. Occasionally, if you'd like to get involved, you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks and you are welcome to explore the pretty bluebell wood. Also on site, you'll find a large pond and a hard tennis court, which you are welcome to use (but please bring your own racquets). Pond View is ideally placed for exploring the New Forest, the cathedral city of Salisbury and the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and Christchurch. Semi-detached to The Old Cart Shed, Pond View features an open plan living area which has a high raftered ceiling, exposed beams and whitewashed walls. Outside there is a patio and a lawn beside the pond for which the cottage is named. Note: One well behaved dog welcome charged at 60 per stay.

Nearby Fordingbridge is well-stocked, a charming place to base your holiday.
