Lovely cottage, clean, well set out and good amenities. The hot tub in the garden area was great to use each day. It was peaceful but not too far from town and places to eat.

This was a well appointed beautiful cottage. It was clean and had mostly everything we needed. There wasnt a freezer but we later found out you can use the freezer across the way the bed and the pillows are incredibly comfortable and there was plenty of space to unpack the bathroom was spacious and the choice of two shower heads was nice. The kitchRead moreen space was a little cramped due to the microwave however the microwave was useful. Having a fan was really nice as the week we stayed was quite hot we didnt really use the TV match as we were out a lot. It was lovely to be able to eat outside. We ate outside every day breakfast and dinner we use the barbecue with a disposable barbecue inside that was really nice. Outside seating was a bit uncomfortable. We used the orange cushions from inside but seat pads would be really nice to make it more comfortable. The hot tub was lovely. The screened pergola type setting was lovely and private The setting round the courtyard was really nice and plenty of parking. The location was great. Just be careful turning right out of there. Its a very very sharp turn. There was a shell garage very close for basics and various supermarkets not far to drive. It was well placed for visiting the places we wanted to go would recommend Beaulieu motor museum, the Tank Museum,Exley gardens and steam railway and Bucklars Hard. As well as driving through the national park New Forest seeing so many beautiful horses and livestock. all in all a lovely holiday, thank you. Hide
