Set on the edge of the idyllic New Forest and just two miles from the historic market town of Ringwood, Upper Kingston Farm Cottages provide quality self-catering accommodation set on a rural, working farm.
These characteristic Victorian farm buildings have been carefully restored and converted to 5 cottages varying in occupancy capacity from 1 to 4 people. Newly opened on the 20th August 2010.
Using the latest green technology for heating and hot water, our aim is to allow guests to enjoy a wonderful holiday with the least damage to the environment.
With such a fantastic location, the New Forest on the doorstep and great transport links to Bournemouth, Southampton, Poole and Salisbury, Upper Kingston Farm Cottages is a great base to explore this beautiful area.

Latest Reviews
Parking is situated in front of the courtyard. The surface of the car park is road planings as per the approach lane. I stayed in the Swallows Nest which was spotlessly clean and warm. There are couple of rooms on the ground floor and suitable for disabled guests. The amenities were first class and the hosts Hilary and Paul couldn’t do enough to ensure everything met our needs. We will definitely be returning and recommending it to our friends and family.
