  Location: excellent, in lovely grounds, great for sitting out in suitable weather, easy parking, ideal for walking out to the lagoons for birdwatching etc 1.

  The woodburner: WARNING This is a health hazard. During wind in the "wrong" direction soot from the fire blows back through poorly sealed burner doors into the whole studio. On this occasion it was extreme filling the whole accommodation with acrid sooty smoke. The owners stated this happens if it is windy. They are clearly aware, there are no instructions on its use . A shrug of the shoulders by the owner is insufficient response. All of our belongings now have to be washed or wiped down as the smell is intolerable. A previous review states the blowback of smoke so they are aware as admitted. We could not tolerate this as it made my eyes swell and smart. We had to vacate halfway through our stay as the room state was unhealthy. It is difficult to get through ventilation due to the blackouts on the south side windows.There will be dangerous fumes always entering the room. This is carcinogenic. 2. There is no sprinkler system, fire alarm or CO monitor in such an enclosed studio space which should be mandatory. 3. The provision of 6 large books of Playboy by the bed together with walls covered in family pictures of breastfeeding, pregnancy ultrasound scans, baby feet, and general family children in swim costumes are also inappropriate. Such personal items should not be in a public rented space. 4.The Sofa needs replacing. 5. Insufficient utensils and dishes for self catering. 7. There are two large dogs in the grounds. The owner did bring them to introduce us & they are lovely but as dogs make me anxious I would have appreciated forewarning. Sykes do not inspect properties after an initial visit.

  Pond View is a nice holiday cottage situated in a lovely landscape within a very attractive part of Hampshire.

  One point to raise is the heating arrangements.The first weekend was exceptionally cold for the time of year.The bedroom was kept warm by keeping the heating on and the door closed.However,with only one small heater situated by the front door and a very high roof area it was not possible to heat the main lounge and kitchen area.We sat on Friday night wearing jumpers.Saturday,we went into Salisbury and brought a portable electric fire so we could stay warm for the rest of the week.The only other problem,which only lasted until Monday and is no fault of the owners,was children being allowed to run around the properties shouting until 10.30-11O'clock at night.Rhese two small problems should not detract from the advantages of spending a holiday at West Park Farm.

  I would not normally consider a property in the grounds of the owners home.

  However, the Lodge was tempting and did not disappoint. The grounds were beautiful and the owners very considerate. The area is lovely with great walks from the door. The sea wall walk, accessed through the nature reserve, is a must. Takes you to Lymington, with outstanding views across the Solent. Local pubs good for lunch. Owners have provided a useful map. The kitchen in the property is nice and good for light meals in the evening. The wet room is amazing and bed very comfortable. We found the sofa not very comfortable but the armchair was. Loved the paintings and the books by Aimee Durnell which we did read from cover to cover. This is an interesting and unique property, well worth a visit.

  We stayed at Little Timbers from 20th sept to 27th 2024 and really enjoyed our break in the New Forest .

  On arriving we received a very warm welcome from Geoff the owner . The cottage provided a comfortable stay with all the equipment we required . Set in a lovely enclosed well maintained garden which our collie dog loved to have a wonder in . Very clean and well presented . Excellent to have parking space on Geoffs driveway and close to a great pub and close to shops in Ringwood Little Timbers was a great base to travel to & explore all areas of the New Forest Geoff was a great host and Littjle Timbers was excellent accommodation . Definately well worth a stay and we will make a return visit Keith & Jen Boulton

  Lovely weekend stay in February on our own (we usually take our dog).

  The lodge is perfect for a couple, very peaceful, wonderful walks straight from the door to the sea. It was very warm and cosy perfect for a winter break, I can imagine that it would be too hot in the summer nights as you only have the doors that open in the living space. Needs a little more lighting over the kitchen area which I noted other guests had suggested in the guest book. A welcome pack of milk etc might be nice touch although plenty of sugar, coffee and tea bags were provided. Swap the coffee machine for a microwave. Overall a lovely stay, a much needed short break in a beautiful area. Thank you.
