Owners Comments
"We moved to Hale seven years ago and have loved our time in the New Forest, however as our family live in the North West of England we have decided to return there in order to be able to see our young grandchildren grow up."
"Hale is a friendly village with many activities organised centering on the Village Hall which has a monthly farmers market and numerous events throughout the year. We have ponies, donkeys and cattle walking past the front gate and stopping for a treat sometimes so the idyllic location for a peaceful lifestyle"
