Have just got back after spending six days at Julie and Richards CL. It's ideal for exploring the New Forest having access to major roads yet it's off the beaten track. A short walk away is open moorland, stunning in its beauty and tranquility. Then there are the lakes, the best we found was the lake next to the visitor center with its nature hide and abundance of birds and squirrels and at another hide a family of Grass snake sunning themselves on a log just below the hide, something I've never seen before. Another must see is the feeding of the Deer by the Rangers everyday. All this coupled with quaint villages and good pubs, ( mostly empty at night ) made for an excellent holiday. Julie and Richard are two very likeable people who are always about to give you local information and are justifiably proud of there CL. It's down on our favorites list.
