Higher Farm is located just 6 miles from the New Forest National Park in the quiet, picturesque village of Martin within a conservation area and on the edge of Martin Down National Nature Reserve.

The medieval city of Salisbury, 8 miles, has its famous cathedral spire and close, individual shops, pubs and restaurants, a theatre and a cinema which is housed in the old wool market, offers a unique cinema experience. The New Forest National Park boundary is a picturesque drive of around 6 miles and Godshill always has lots of New Forest ponies and cattle to enjoy.

The property is stunning. In a lovely village quiet and peaceful. The host family are amazing nothing was too much trouble and as animal lovers on a small farm was even better.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2020
A great place to stay. After booking I was worried it might be too small or there may have been photography tricks but no this is a great place to stay. The bed is a good size the sofa is super comfy and the owners were very friendly and even left out some mince pies and presseco when we arrived which was a very nice touch. As other reviews have mentioned the only slight critique I would have is that the shower could do with a curtain as it’s a very powerful shower head and can end up with a wet bathroom floor if not careful. All and All I’d give this place 10/10 it was a really nice relaxing stay. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
