Situated on the edge of the New Forest the Potting Shed is located in the small village of Sopley, on the Dorset/Hampshire border near the south coast of England.

For those who enjoy the outdoors there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy walking and cycling in the New Forest or Avon Valley Footpath which runs through Sopley village. Also well suited for anglers wanting to fish in the two local rivers or the Mudeford Estuary. There are excellent nearby beaches including Bournemouth, Mudeford and Hengistbury Head.

Christchurch, Ringwood, Bournemouth and Salisbury are all close by and offer excellent days out for those wanting to enjoy time visiting historical buildings or shopping. Poole and its exceptional harbour, favoured by sailors is a short drive away and offers plenty to explore within the Purbeck peninsula and Jurassic Coast.

The Potting Shed is a 2 minute walk from The Mill, a popular wedding venue in the south. We have many guests who are attending a wedding at The Mill.

Perfect for two

My parents stayed here over Christmas, as we had no room at the inn. The place was a short walk from us, and the pub, which is perfect. It had all the amenities required, as well as a lovely welcome bottle of something and a card. My parents said the bed was incredibly comfortable too. A great bolthole if you are exploring the New Forest and surrounding area.

Lovely little cottage

Lovely cottage ideal for two people and Laura was always quick to respond. We used it as a base for a wedding at Sopley Mill and then to explore the area. It’s close to Christchurch, beaches, New Forest and also walking distance to the local pub. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Wonderful little home from home

We loved the Potting Shed, which was our base for a wedding we were attending at the Mill which was literally a 2min walk. There is nothing i could add to make our stay anymore perfect. Has everything you would need. We wished we could of stayed longer than the 2 nights but will definitely book again when visiting the area.

We were in town for a wedding at Sopley Mill. It is a three minute walk up the road. Highly recommend! This is the cutest place, clean and honestly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Would totally book this spot again. Easy parking on site as well.

Spoilt by pet hair

The Potting Shed was quirky. Sofas not very comfy and had pet hair on them. Pet hair also on floir and on and under coffee table. I found this unacceptable as I wiuld if there were a lot of human hair around.

Just a little weekend away

We arrived at the Potting shed ready to start our mini break and we were not disappointed. We had some lovely welcome gifts. The property is situated near the woolpack (highly recommended) and the property had maps for walks we could do. It isn’t far from the beach by car either and we found the dog friendly part and had a lovely morning. We will be back!

The potting shed Sopley

The property was excellent for one person but, in particular, the bed was on the small side for more than one. The location was not brilliant being very close to a very busy minor road.

Great location and brilliant for cyclists!

We have just returned home from a 3 night stay at The Potting Shed. Communication with Laura from start to finish has been excellent. Nice set up with everything conveniently located on the ground floor. [We did not use the art room upstairs ]. Lots of cycling routes nearby and best of all, at least 3 pubs within walking distance. The Woolpack, just across the road was the best meal. Only a 10 minute drive to the beach and what a beach! Bigger garden than expected and nice to get the car off the road and make use of the excellent bike storage. Many thanks Sarah & Richard

Nice bijou bolt hole

The property is very nice, bijou but very well done and equipt. It is well placed for exploring the New Forest, the private parking was great for us and there is a nice pub, the Woolpack, just across the road. However, while sitting in the garden, you are subjected to a fair amount of road noise.

A brilliant use of space and colour with everything you need in a beautiful garden with lots of great walking from the door and a pub you can roll out of bed for with fantastic food...and a TV that gave Wimbledon time for us on our time out....very hard to beat.

We had a fantastic stay at the ‘Potting Shed’ and we’re delighted to find a gorgeous home from home, from the great location to the lovely log burning stove. Fantastically clean and tidy, with all facilities provided and a lovely welcome pack. We will definitely be returning!

Another happy visit to the PS

Have stayed here multiple times now and always good to go back. Thoughtful touches in the cottage and the new bike shed would be very helpful if you were on a cycling holiday. Just be aware there is nothing easily walkable as the lovely Woolpack pub is sadly currently closed. However the Fisherman’s haunt is only 5 mins in the car.

Lovely Holiday home in a quiet village

The stay and property as a whole were fantastic, its great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town, a car or vehicle is needed ideally, but even if you wish to walk Christchurch isnt so far away with all that is needed. Will stay again in the future and recommend it to others.

Ideal for short break

Small and cosy with a wood burner, compact property. Parking in a gravel drive off road. Ideal for touring the New Forest area and can return at the end of the day and walk across the road to a pretty decent pub if don’t want to self cater which kitchen is fine for.

Surprisingly large inside. Clean, good kitchen and nice to be given some milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Only draw back is the patio that needs a good brush down but that is easily fixed. The lady next door gave us some fresh eggs from her chickens which was really nice.

The Potting Shed is absolutely perfect. I had to travel for business and the Potting shed was perfect for what I needed. It’s very clean and comfortable and the fire was lovely in the chilly evenings. Laura was very conscientious with meeting COVID guidelines, which made me feel more relaxed about having to travel. I have already booked for my next business trip but would definitely stay here on holiday and highly recommend to family and friends. Thank you
