Heathfield Lodge is consistently praised for its beautiful, cosy, and well-maintained cottage with a homely feel. The location is ideal for exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas, offering a peaceful and tranquil setting. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful host, Sam, and the cottage's cleanliness and comfort. The garden is a highlight, with wildlife sightings adding to the charm. Some minor drawbacks mentioned include a small bathroom and the need for a torch at night due to the dark walk from the garage.
Guests are very satisfied with the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as spotless and well-kept. One mention of musty-smelling towels suggests a minor issue with drying methods.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to the New Forest and other attractions. The peaceful setting is frequently mentioned, though the dark walk from the garage at night and the need for precise satnav settings are noted.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage and its furnishings cosy and welcoming. The bed quality is highlighted, contributing to a relaxing stay. A small shower is the only comfort-related concern.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a fully equipped kitchen and unexpected extras. However, some guests mention the small bathroom and shower size as limitations.
While guests express appreciation for the host's helpfulness and the provision of local information, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
