It is in a lovely location, both for the immediate surroundings and for access to all parts of the New Forest.

The garden was rather over grown but because the owner wasnât able to be there that is understandable weâve been a few times and enjoyed it

Consequently we had difficulty getting key arrangements. We eventually established contact with a relative via Sykes. The area we were told to park was occupied. The hot water was switched off and the internet kept failing throughout the holiday. We needed that feature to keep in touch with out daughter travelling in Fiji. Care workers kept knocking on our door by mistake, and vans often blocked the driveway. Aside from the perhaps understandable issues the Cottage was great for our main purpose, new forest cycling, the location is beautiful and the Garden was lovely . However, individual circumstances for the poorly owner unfortunately did cause us disruption . Eg, having to drive to cafes to get any internet, and sometimes being unable to get our car in and out.
