The bungalow is set in over an acre of landscaped and eco-friendly gardens that abut the ancient Harewood Forest. The four guest rooms all have en-suite facilities, with twin, king-sized and double bedrooms available. Download a Forest Edge Brochure (~3mb)
Imagine walking out of your en-suite room onto our lovely patio, exploring the beautiful one-acre garden (featured on BBC's Gardeners' World and by the RHS) towards a potential cloud of butterflies in our orchid strewn meadow. Beyond the garden are around five square miles of ancient oak & bluebell woodland with deer and badgers. There are typical Hampshire villages, with their charismatic pubs, and the River Test within a mile or two. GREEN FOREST EDGE We now generate our own electricity (PV-system). We carbon-offset travel, use our own wood for much of the heating, have a highly efficient gas boiler and almost too much insulation! The garden is a beautiful nature reserve and we are proud of tawny owls nesting in 2009 / very rare lizard orchid flowering 2010.
EMails from guests: Dear
David and Annette,
How are you ? I hope you are well and that the rest of the summer
passed well.
Best retreat ever!
My wife and I simply had to take a
detour on our way back from Cornwall to stay again at Forest Edge, a place
of tranquillity, nature and warm-heartedness. From the very first
moment of our stay on, we were sure we had to come back again for another
dwell in the garden, me kippers and herbed eggs for breakfast, the
inspiring talks to the hosts and a night of super-relaxing sleep! We were
touched by the genuine and friendly atmosphere the Beesons gave us, even
when we arrived for the very first time. We've already started recommending
the place to our friends at home in Germany as a real 'must' on their ways
to the South-west of GB.
Dear David and Annette, please note
there's always an open door for you here if you'll be in Germany!
Hoping to see you again on whatever side of
the 'pond'.
With all our best wishes
Werner and Maria
