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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Potting Shed Sopley

Host profile image
Sopley has always been a special place to me as we use to holiday here as a family, so I love enabling others to enjoy this special place. I now have a young family and juggle looking after them, managing the Potting Shed and teaching English as a foreign language on-line.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought 21 Sopley in 1979 as they were driving through Sopley for under £20,000 and took me and my sister to this cottage for years. It was a real "step back in time" with no telephone or TV and frequently frozen pipes! We loved exploring the New Forest and beaches locally.
Later, my Dad bought a plot of land next door and put a Potting Shed on it for storage. in 2016 we decided it would be more use as a holiday chalet so worked on converting it into a simple one bedroom chalet with a quiet loft space. It is now a lovely self-contained cottage with a large living, kitchen, dining area and beautiful garden to enjoy the outdoors.

What makes this property unique

Although you are relatively close to "civilization" it still feels quiet and peaceful staying at the Potting Shed. The garden is full of nature and in the summer it is especially nice for enjoying the sunshine and perhaps a BBQ. In winter there is a log burner stove to give the Potting Shed a really "cosy" feel. There is a pub opposite, the Woolpack for easy access to food or drink.
