Owners Comments
\"We have loved living at Tazara for the past 4 1/2 years. It's a lovely cottage that's warm and cosy in winter with the wood burner going and with a sunny secluded patio which is great for a bbq in summer! Winsor is a lovely quiet village with several lovely pubs and good schools all within walking distance. It's a great location being so close to the New Forest and the motorway gives great access to Southampton/London or the A36 for Salisbury!\"
