I would certainly recommend to friends and family. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. A great week away for us, even the weather was not great, also want to say the owner was immensely helpful as well

Our dogs loved the garden and field beyond, I would recommend watching your dogs though as it's not entirely secure and they could wander further than you'd like. We would have appreciated some instructions on recycling and bin collection days, the gardener was most helpful with this information. The addition of a vacuum to help keep the house clean would have been helpful, especially with dogs in tow. It's a great house in a fabulous location for the New Forest. An advantage of being in an area with little light pollution was the opportunity to do some star gazing too.

Cupboard situated off the kitchen under the stairs. Master bedroom door handle.(This is a health and safety issue. (managed to use the hook behind the door to open. ) Sliding wardrobe door. The downstairs toilet handbasin was blocked on 1st use. Had to wash hands in utility sink. There was no information pack on appliance use or local contacts? On Friday the power went off and we were searching for the fuse box. During our week we looked for a mop and bucket, hoover, egg cups and colander. None of these are available. We chose our holidays based around our dogs. The garden is not secure as stated. The property is beautiful and in a lovely situation. We would love to put it on our return list but due to the items listed above we will not return unless rectified.
