From the owner

Shepherds Spring Cottages are located in the delightful grounds of 18th Century East Mills Manor, situated between the historic medieval town of Fordingbridge and the village of Godshill. Both cottages have been tastefully converted to comfortable, stylish, high standard accommodation, offering a secluded retreat in a peaceful location.Being within the National Park Boundary the area is ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding.

We allow 1 dog to stay in each cottage at a surcharge of £25.00 we sometimes accept 2 small breeds of dog but this is at the owners discretion please discuss this at the time of enquiry/ booking request.

We are able to provide a stair gate, high chair and travel cot please request these if required at the time of enquiry/booking request.

Both Shepherds Spring Cottages 1 and 2 may be booked, for larger groups wanting to holiday together.Outside each cottage has a fenced shingled sitting area. In addition there is a secluded grassed barbeque area with picnic tables available for both cottages. This offers great outside space for the family with views overlooking fields.

** We do offer a 2 person discount rate throughout low and mid seasons please feel free to ask for a quote for the same.

Please note that the 2 person discount rate only applies to 2 people sharing the double room downstairs and not using any other bedrooms or any of the upstairs of the cottage. If another bedroom is required the full rental price will be payable. **
