Jobbers Retreat was just what we wanted for our break, the enclosed garden was great for our dog to be safe. Location gave us the opportunity to explore the beautiful New Forest, beaches and Isle of Wight. Facilities in cottage were excellent the welcome from Liz and John was lovely who left selection of treats for us. The hot tub was used daily to relax after our days out.
Mark
Arrived a little later than planned due to M3 traffic however Liz was on hand to show us around. The property is spotless, very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed including a varied welcome pack. It's an ideal base for forest and coastal walks, as well as a dip into town or a pub if you fancy. Our Lab, Eli, loved the enclosed garde n, while we particularly enjoyed the outdoor tub. It's compact yet intelligently designed meaning we had more than enough room to relax. Thank you.
Lana
Lovely weekend away here with our dog and toddler. Beautiful place, lovely towns and walks nearby and very overall clean holiday home. The only thing is, we didn't realise it was all one room, no doors or walls to block sound, so it was difficult sneaking about after our toddler went to sleep.
Tony
Just returned from a lovely long weekend at Jobbers Retreat. Great hosts and very informative of local area. Cottage immaculate had everything we needed and perfect for four legged friends fully enclosed garden. Ideal location for exploring the New Forest and local coastline. Definately recommend.

The property was very comfortable, clean and modern. It is only a short drive to the coast where we visited a few different beaches with our dog. Most of the restaurants and pubs were dog friendly, which was great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. A very relaxing break. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Jane
A lovely place to stay with owners who are welcoming and extremely helpful but 100% respectful of visitors stay. Jobbers is extremely clean, well equipped and just perfect for two. The garden is totally enclosed which was crucial for us with our dog. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and weve already booked a return for later in the year.
Freddie
Fantastic stay with the mrs we had lots of fun, Local to a lot of restaurants, close to the beach, great accommodation thanks John and Liz
Lenny
What a lovely well maintained quiet and private little place this is. This is definitely a hidden gem of a find if you are after a quiet retreat which has all the mod cons plus a lovely spa pool. My little dog Norm loved the secure fenced outdoor space to roam about in. I would definitely recommend this as a nice getaway to stay at as a base for ex ploring the New Forest and the Solent. Liz and John are lovely hosts who are there if needed but also fully respect your privacy.
