Family get together & birthday

This is a wonderful property with comfortable rooms and plenty of varied living spaces - including a hot tub & games room. We were 10 adults ranging from 24 to 94 and all of us enjoyed our stay - there was something for everyone. The welcome basket & flowers were a nice touch.

Superbly Located New Forest Cottage

A lovely "Chocolate box " Cottage in a quiet but very accessible location for all the amenities of the New Forest and the Coast. A well designed and very spacious internal layout which would suit many families as well as groups of friends. The Cottage was extremely well fitted and had the benefit of a large deck area leading directly off the large open plan kitchen/ dining room. We had a super time and hope to return one day.

Good overall. Location and property.

It is a very spacious and lovely property. We enjoyed our stay. The heater was not working in one of the bathroom. But the maintanance guy did put in a portsble one. The bath has no plug so can't use the bath for two days until they put in a new one. Didn't spoil our stay. Overall was good.
