  The Rabbit's Warren is an absolute winner and incredible value for money.

  We were looking for a place to stay near the coast while repairs were done on our boat. We also had project deadlines, so we needed a spacious place with good internet where we could park off for a week. Rabbit's Warren was absolutely perfect for our needs and it was such a lovely environment that we enjoyed every minute we spent there. The place is even better than the photos. A large featured skylight in the lounge gives it lots of light and airiness and the unit has everything you could ask for, including a beautiful, spacious kitchen, dishwasher and a combination washer/dryer, and for me, a luxurious tub, to spend a very comfortable and cozy week there. We also enjoyed use of the full service, but unpretentious, health club and punished ourselves with a couple of grueling spinning classes. My husband also surprised me on my birthday with the most fabulous massage by Elaine, whom I highly recommend for anyone who needs a little TLC. And, although we didn't use them, there's also a full service hair salon and a sports medicine therapist on the premises, so it's a nice way of booking services you might need without leaving the grounds. The area feels like it's out in the countryside, but a decent sized full service shopping center, including a large Waitrose is less than five minutes drive away. Kathryn was a wonderful host and we can't thank her enough for allowing us to stay at her beautiful place!

  A really lovely base for our family holiday.

  Fantastic location, can get to the centre of Portsmouth within 15 minutes, and only a couple minutes drive to a massive supermarket with everything you could need. The two nearby pubs are both lovely, with delicious food, and plenty of pleasant walks nearby. The house itself was perfect for us, very clean with cupboards full of essentials, a pretty extensive spice and herb collection, and a really good selection of toys and games under the TV (our two-year old fell in love with "Stripy" the puppet, and was very sad to leave her!). The beds and sofa were decently comfy, and although we didn't really use it, the garden was a good size with nice furniture. The TV is decent including some of the major streaming apps available to sign into. The water pressure in the shower was far better than we'd typically expect on holiday, and our toddler especially loved the "fancy waterfall taps". The parking was a little bit anxiety-inducing at first with a wide car, however once the neighbours saw that we were there, they were very considerate in making sure that they left us plenty of space to get in and out. Overall, we had a lovely time and would stay here again!

  This was a comfortable, well-equipped holiday home.

  The warm garden had a garden chair, settee, small table and a picnic table, as well as a good choice of plants (rosemary, jasmine etc). It was close to excellent walks around the harbours, nature reserves and waterways, as well as walks around Hayling Island and the vast beach there. The house was very quiet and peaceful, with a very comfortable bed and sofa. We found the garden a bit noisy in the rush hours, but we do live in a very quiet area. Others might not find it a problem (especially in the winter!). It is very close to 2 pubs, and within walking distance to a garage/small shop across the bridge to Hayling Island. More pubs/shops/farm shop/cafes within 5/10 min drive. Just a note of caution to people who have dodgy hips/knees. The shower is over the modern bath, so the less able might find it hard to get in/out. Nice to have a choice between having a bath or a shower, though! I have recommended this house to another for next year's holiday, already.

  Stayed in June for 5 days.

  Difficult property to review, seems to have all you could need in the kitchen, we don’t cook in while away but seemed well stocked. The sofa and the beds were clean and comfortable. This property needs better cleaning, there is no attention to detail, especially at lower levels around the skirting and walls.The windows were unloved both the frames and glass need a proper clean and general maintenance. The patio door, the first thing you see as you walk into the lounge was both difficult to open and close with the glass desperately needing cleaning. The biggest drawback with the property is the loud and constant traffic noise, making sitting in the pleasant garden unenjoyable. The traffic noise is constant and not limited to the rush hour. This should be noted in the listing. As a base for sightseeing this property is fine, for a relaxing stay not so. There are 2 excellent pubs within easy walking distance.

  Hill Top is ideally situated at the end of a lane with plenty of places we could walk our dogs without driving anywhere. The property is extremely well equipped and good quality throughout. In our case staying over Xmas the decorations were excellent in both the house and swimming pool - our granddaughter was so excited when we arrived to see the outside and inside lights, the decorated tree and hear the Xmas music. The swimming pool was also a big hit. Lots of wildlife outside including birds, squirrels, guinea fowl and the odd pheasant. We noted that in the garden there were great facilities for when it is warmer and you can eat outside. Plenty of parking right next to the property. Nicky the owner was lovely, very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
