Whistlestop

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

Sitting pretty amongst its own private garden plot, we love how Whistestop’s main hut exemplifies the small, but perfectly formed design ethic. After a night under the stars, get toasty by the log burner with a mug of something, or sink into bed with a good book (there’s also the TV if you are in the middle of a Netflix-a-thon).

We particularly love how the built-in double bed here creates a charming little nook. With creature comforts close-to-hand, a morning started here would feel rather special. Sleep with the windows and door opened and fall asleep to the purr of the trains & calls of nature.

Glamping just got an upgrade... The separate 'privy' is only 5 steps away, and this private bathroom hut is all yours! A little more swish than most, the beautiful craftsmanship of this hut actually earnt it a place amongst a Chelsea Flower Show installation. Complete with shower, WC (and gorgeous Bramley products to-boot), we loved it just as much as the main hut!

Outside

Starting with the cherry on top, we love how the Infrared sauna is tucked away at the bottom of your plot. Easy to use, and great for a host of wellness benefits, this unexpected treat is the perfect remedy after a day of forest stomps.

With the main shepherds hut on one side, and the privy on the other, your garden haven creates a lovely and private oasis of calm. Flow inside and out with ease to sit, sip and feast alfresco style.

Guests have a parking space located right outside of your sanctuary, and as mentioned in our Home Truths section, your garden is located next to the B&Bs communal garden. *** Please do refer to our home truths section for more information •••

Home truths

The Brockenhurst Railway line runs alongside Whistlestop’s garden, so you will hear the purr of the trains going to and from (they tend to start at 6am and stop at 11pm as a guide). We think this is a plus, especially as you will be able to walk from Brockenhurst Train Station to Whistlestop within just 10 minutes or so!

Your lovely hosts are located on-site in their B&B. Whistlestop is at the back of the premises, but your private shepherds hut plot is next to the B&Bs communal garden. After you have booked, if you would like to order a locally-sourced and fresh brekkie as an extra to your stay (lucky you!), you will be able to liaise directly with Cheryl & Ciaran… we have it on good authority that their granola is a winner!
