At a time when many towns and villages are losing their post offices, we are fortunate to have made our post office an integral part of the Community Shop. And, with so many banks closing their rural branches, our Post Office is also here for your everyday banking services.

Coffee & Cake

We have a small café area where you can enjoy lovely cake and hot drinks! Together with tables and chairs there is a bar area by the front window where you can sit and watch the world (and ponies and donkeys!) go by. There’s free WiFi, so you can catch up on those emails whilst you enjoy the “cake of the week”, having got your groceries or visited the Post Office.

Car Park

No worries about parking or having a long walk back to your car with all your shopping. We have a spacious car park adjacent to the shop. Twenty paces from car to counter!

At the rear of our car park there is a clothes bank with donations raising money for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. This is for clothes and shoes only and these need to be clean and bagged up. If the bank is full, please don’t leave any items outside.

Information Point

The shop is also a New Forest Information Point where you can find out what’s on, pick up a map or a brochure. Our friendly staff are on hand to recommend what to see or do in the area.
