Rufus House Review
Personal service and easy access to the New Forest are the draws at this turreted Victorian house run by a Japanese-Italian couple; it's a short walk from Lyndhurst. The pastel-walled rooms are simply furnished but bright, airy, and spotlessly clean—opt for one of the two larger rooms in the turret, both with four-poster beds, if available. As you enjoy the excellent breakfast, you can gaze out over the gardens.

I realized that my other ongoing report ("UK TR, so far)" was now misnamed....so I am finishing here. I started it on the 2nd (or so) day of our trip, but now we have been at home for several days.
