This modern cottage is an annexe and the owners were exceptionally helpful. I loved being just a couple of minutes walk from the coast path. I didn't really need the local shops but they are a bit of a walk, and it's not easy to know where to find them. The cottage is very spacious for a relatively small property and there is plenty of storage space in both the kitchen and the bedroom. This was a very comfortable stay and I thoroughly recommend it.

Can't recommend this place highly enough,it was beautifully presented,extremly clean,well equipped, it clearly has been created with love. When you walk in,you think you are the first person to stay there. The hosts nicky and andrew,were absolutley lovely,we arrived mid evening on christmas eve, the welcome was so nice,the lamps and heating were on,it was decorated for christmas,with a selection of goodies left for us. The attention to detail is incredible, and everything in the apartment is excellent quality. The property is gated and requires a fob to gain entry,it feels very safe and secure. Its close to the beach,towns and the New Forest, it has everything you need. This has to be one of the best places i have stayed, i really hope to be able to stay there again. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you nicky and andrew

We are totally biased as this was the third time we have stayed there in the last two years! The accommodation is excellent with everything we need for our stay. Nicky and Andrew are excellent hosts with an eye to detail. Our welcome pack was perfect for a Christmas welcome. A large change since last year was outside of the accommodation and that Woodland Walk has become a Nature Reserve. There are beautiful tree carvings as well as a pond and areas being cleared to allow for the growing of wild flowers. A lovely walk to the shore front for great promenade walks in both directions. We highly recommend this for a fantastic stay.
