  Great location for exploring the New Forest, Stonehenge, Winchester and close enough for a day trip to the Isle of Wight.

  There’s a handy Nisa supermarket within easy walking distance. Plenty of parking space for 2 cars and a camper van. Great sized house for 5 adults and 3 teenagers (who appreciated the upstairs games room), while downstairs there were comfortable sofas and large dining table with plenty of space for everyone to sit. Storage options were good in each room (although no wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom) and the shoe area in the entrance porch was handy, as was the large double hall cupboard which had plenty of hanging space for coats. The kitchen was a lovely size and it was great to have extra space at the small table and breakfast bar and the double oven was fab for cooking for eight people. The house file contained very clear information with lots of suggestions for the area and the keys were very clearly labelled. Great outdoor seating and some garden games which got used between the showers! There was also a BBQ but sadly the weather wasn’t nice enough to make use of this. Niggles: The tap on the kitchen sink had to be turned on very carefully otherwise you got soaked each time you used it. A washing up bowl would also be useful. Kettle needs to be descaled. It would be helpful to have a selection of larger sized saucepans when cooking for eight people. The downstairs bedroom door sticks and can be difficult to open. The toilet seat in the upstairs family bathroom was broken and the holder for the shower head would not fix in position and just slid back down the pole. The mattress in the upstairs ensuite bedroom was hard and uncomfortable and one bedside lamp could not be used: it was not near a plug and the lead was not long enough to reach one. Missing a lock on the downstairs toilet (door through to the utility room). Overall, despite the above niggles, we were very happy with our stay and would still rate it 4 stars.

  I would like to say the house is a lovely size for large family and garden.

  Kitchen is amazing. But did have a few cleaning problems.kettle needs descaling badly or replaced as this was noted previous reviews. Cutlery tray in draw was awful.had to remove it and wash all cutlery.also counter tops on island needed a good clean. Master bedroom had no mirror. And the Mattress was so hard it was like sleeping on a board. This again was mentioned in previous reviews. Having a bad back already this did not help. It had a thin mattress protector on. This is not good enough. To have a good holiday you need a good night sleep. This needs to be sorted ASAP. Sofa by back door had a unpleasant smell.also no keys to open patio door to lounge. Also downstairs on suite has drainage smell. I feel awful to complain about these things but they do need sorting. It would be a perfect stay otherwise. Thank you.

  We loved this property!

  We had 6 adults and 3 chn staying and we all had plenty of space. The layout of the house is really good and the kitchen at the back is light and spacious. We had great weather for the week and so we used the garden for sitting outside and having BBQs in the afternoon/ evenings. There is a park area (4 mins walk away) with a football pitch and playground which the chn loved and we went there every evening. The location of the house to explore the area is great. It is a few minutes away from Paulton Park. We also had day trips to Salisbury, Christchurch, Southampton and Bournemouth beach (which we would highly recommend - really clean with lots to do there). We also had a day trip to the Isle of Wight on the ferry. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would highly recommend this property to others.

  We had a lovely holiday at Sherpa.

  Everything we could possibly need and more was provided. Beds were comfy, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The kitchen was amazing so light and clean, every appliance needed, plenty of cooking utensils and pits and pans. The living room and dining room were very comfortable with plenty of seating. The games room was a bonus, although we didn't use it a lot it was ideal for families with children. We did however have a couple if games of table football. We did make use of the garden and sat out there on the evenings, and played badminton, swing ball and coites. All in all we had an excellent week, obviously the weather helped as well. The only thing I would like to point out is that tge kettle needs descaling.
