A warm welcome and thoughtful touches
Ciaran and Cheryl have been running Daisybank Cottage as a B&B since 2010, the house being used as their family home before that.
Daisybank prides itself on its service, with thoughtful touches such as torches for your evening walks, yoga mats for guests’ use (featuring artwork by a local artist) and mindful colouring books that young and old can enjoy. Guests are also welcome to relax in the cottage garden, a peaceful spot to unwind after a day spent exploring the New Forest.
Both Ciaran and Cheryl are happy to recommend their favourite spots for a bite to eat, walks and some of their favourite hidden New Forest gems.
