Beautiful gardens especially for young children.

August 2017

Lovely gardens - great views. Grandson thoroughly enjoyed trying to find all the fairy doors. Very enjoyable visit.

August 2017

Lovely place to visit. Lots to see and ideal for children to play in the woodland garden with its bothies, towers and hides.

September 2018

fantastic gardens well worth a visit

May 2019

Peaceful and welcoming

May 2019

wonderful place

June 2019

Lovely place to spend a few hours in the sunshine. Really nice play area for kids in the woodland too - lots to climb and explore and a nice cafe too.

September 2019

Furzey is a wonderful tranquil spot full of hidden corners & fairy doors to explore. Beautiful in the autumn & I would love to visit in other seasons too. The cafe is full of wonderful locally home made cakes & would highly recommend the carrot, chocolate, ginger, victoria sponge & scones! There are also plants & lots of cards & gifts for sale all at very reasonable prices.

September 2019

I would recommend a visit to these beautiful gardens. A little gem.

September 2020

Staff very helpful and Covid precautions good.spent a lovely couple of hours there and a coffee and cake after in the thatched tearoom.would visit again.

September 2020

Definitely worth a visit. It is necessary to book a visiting slot via their website during the pandemic due to controlling numbers.

June 2021

Fabulous little gardens, doing brilliant work.

July 2021

Lovely colorful gardens on a gentle slope with winding paths and pond. Cafe sells variety of cakes, including vegan ones and excellent cup of tea.

April 2022

Well worth a visit, something to see in every season. Nice cafe that you can visit anytime for coffee & cake. Plenty of interest for children with climbing towers, swings, tadpoles in the lake and fairy doors to find!

April 2022

We went there for an afternoon with the children and it was delightful. The children enjoyed the fairies and the adults enjoyed the beautiful gardens. One warning we thought we could take the dog but she wasn't allowed.

April 2022

A truly amazing garden, supporting a brilliant charity

July 2022

We visit furzey garden whenever we can and it never disappoints. A wonderful and pleasant place to explore and to unwind and follow up with tea and coffee and a snack at the cafe.

May 2023

Lovely Gardens and very nice (and tasty) cafe. Lots of tree houses and play areas for small children. Would love to go earlier in the year when everything is in bloom.

August 2023

Wonderful for all ages. The autumn colours were marvellous in the late October sunshine and the entertainment for young children was superb.

November 2023

We enjoyed Furzey gardens whilst staying at house for Christmas. The tinsel fairy tree trail was great , did it 3 times just to see if any fairies were at home. We liked the sculptures and quirky art amongst the garden. We will come again in may to see rhododendron in full bloom.

January 2024

Visited ast week -was able to take the dog in too - lovely area, lovely staff - well worth a visit. Great example of social enterprise/Minstead Trust. Would visit again.

February 2024

Excellent

May 2024

The deer viewing platform enabled us to see the deer. Lovely walks and information centre very good.

August 2017

Really lovely walks

August 2020

Love coming here to see the deer and great walks too

July 2021

Lovely walks always come here when we visit

April 2023

A nice place to visit,you may be lucky enough to see the deer, if not it's nice place for a walk through the forest with picnic area

May 2023

Brilliant walks, peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The deer here from the viewing platform looked happy too. Had a picnic at the tables in the sunshine and an ice cream from the van in the free car park. Great spot for a couple of hours out.

May 2023

Well worth a visit for a lovely walk - three different lengths of walk. May see the deer.

April 2024

A fab little freeattraction with plenty of reptiles to see in pods (if you're patient and happy to look for them). We didn't see every single native reptile however we went on a very hot day and didn't want to stay out in the sun too long to look. There was also a large hut run by the RSPB under their 'date with nature' scheme which shows a goshawk nest. We went after the goshawks had fledged but there was still footage to see and displays about other wildlife in the area. The two staff on duty were very friendly and helpful and happy to share their knowledge.

August 2018

We spend a couple of hours at this centre including our picnic lunch and ice creams. Staff are very informative and helpful in spotting some of the more elusive reptiles. This is also accessible by bike - remember to bear left at the first fork along the track, as we missed it the first time around because the sign is positioned further round the bend.

August 2019

This attraction appears to have closed

July 2021

This was a disappointment in every way apart from the ice cream van in the car park. There were a few outdoor enclosures, nearly all amphibians not reptiles who had no shade and were obviously hiding from the heat - the entire family scoured each enclosure for the creature on the sign and saw absolutely none.

August 2022

We wanted to visit this attraction but it was closed when we were there.

May 2023

An excellent pub. We went for a long walk in search of their famous ploughmans and it didn't disappoint. fantastic pub. is very popular but deserving of the acclaim

January 2018

excellent place to have a ploughman's lunch it was the best ever and the staff were so friendly

May 2019

We had a delicious Ploughmans lunch at this pub .. lots of options (including Cheese) but the vegetarian tart was particularly tasty.

May 2023

Lovely food, friendly and serviceminded staff.

October 2017

After quite a bit of research online for a holiday cottage in the New Forest that has a pub nearby with vegetarian options, we stumbled across Brook and the Green Dragon. On arrival we still had some time to kill before we could get into the cottage, so we tried the Dragon for a late lunch. One look at the menu convinced me already: with not just one or two but three! vegetarian main meal choices, this was the pub for me (or rather us, but my husband eats anything, haha) and might merit more than one visit! And the food did not disappoint - far from! The Halloumi and Roasted Pepper Burger was delicious.I was resolved to go back there for dinner - and we did more than once. The staff gets extra points from us for being consistently very friendly throughout our visits. So, thank you, Dragon - we will be back!

November 2017

Very welcoming for us and our 2 dogs. Food was lovely and staff were welcoming , typical country pub!

August 2018

A really nice place to eat and friendly

May 2019

Excellent Sunday roast ....highly recommended

June 2019

Warm welcome, excellent food and service

July 2022

Good food and beer. A traditionsl country pub and we were very pleased that it has hardly changed since we last visited over 20 years ago.

April 2024

We had a really lovely evening at The Lamb. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful while maintaining Covid safety. The food arrived nicely presented and was delicious. There was plenty of space around our table, we didn't feel hemmed in and our dog could fit comfortably under the table, yet we felt part of a happy group of diners. Thank you.

October 2021

A lovely country pub serving excellent food and good wine with great service, in a beautiful location with lots of forest walks right on the doorstep.

November 2021

We only went with the family for a drink but found the staff very helpful. As we had children with us we sat in the garden which probably could have been a bit nicer but did not spoil anything.

April 2022

We went for dinner here whilst staying at Westwinds Annexe (from which it is walking distance). We enjoyed it, there was a lot of choice and a good atmosphere and we would gladly return. Pub has a great outlook onto the village green with the New Forest ponies and donkeys roaming about.

April 2024

Delicious food. All made very welcome, from OAPs to baby and in between!

April 2024

Good food, pleasant service, would recommend

August 2023

Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.

April 2019

A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.

June 2023

Lovely clean sandy beach and a really i would highly recommend this spot for your car to break down takes the ouch out of waiting for the recovery truck

April 2017

Lovely

April 2019

Very picturesque beach with great access, looks good for a beach day

October 2021

Beautiful beach, lots of sand for youngsters- definitely been high on our favourites list, for more than 30 years and still is now the 'children' are nearly 30! - well worth the drive from New Forest. The Noisy Lobster is great and now has an 'outdoor upstairs' too. The Beach Cafe, half-way along, is excellent too- used to do very good carrot cake! The connecting beach towards Steamer Point is dog-friendly all year which is a bonus. Walking to the quay end, you can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head which is beautiful beach too and often quieter (top favourite!) Even this last week (JULY 2021) the 'kids' wanted to crab-fish from Mudeford Quay!!

August 2021

Nice beach with good facilities

April 2023

Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.

June 2017

Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc

November 2017

Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.

December 2017

great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach

March 2019

Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s

April 2019

Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.

June 2019

Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.

September 2019

Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.

September 2020

One of my favourite places

July 2021

A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.

October 2021

Beautiful beach with views to The Isle of Wight. Good for swimming, picnics and walking. Very good car parking and public toilets. Lots of good places to eat and drink either next to the beach or in the village, a short walk away

July 2022

Brilliant beach.

September 2022

Lovely quiet location for a beach walk. Great for watching the sea and waves without the crowds.

June 2023

Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.

June 2023

A lovely place to stay. So much to see and do locally and within easy reach.

August 2023

Lovely sea walk within 15 minutes of the cottage.
