  Really enjoyed our stay in December.

  We were a party of three adults and found absolutely everything we needed - lovely Christmas tree, plenty of kitchen equipment including oven trays. The cottage is toasty warm with underfloor heating and we didn’t feel the need to use the wood fire, although you’re provided with kindling, wood etc for your first burn. I was “working form the Drey” for a couple of days and the Wi-Fi is absolutely fine. We had a little issue one day with a tripped circuit outside of the cottage, but had very prompt response from the contact and it was fixed within 10 minutes. In fact communication before and during the stay was excellent. The location is lovely and quiet and even in December it was amazing to hear the wildlife and birds. Agree that more effort could possibly be put in to providing recycling - we took ours home. Oh, and the towels are amazingly fluffy and cozy. Would definitely recommend and happily return if in the area.

  Cannot fault the cleanliness of the cottage (more of a lodge than cottage).

  We incorrectly interpreted the fact there was a pub 2 minutes walk away which we were looking forward to visiting in the evenings. The pub turned out to be not a PUB but a bar within the spa complex which did not offer PUB food. There are no actual pubs within comfortable walking distance from this property. There is a restaurant with a bar in Hook village which was about 20 minutes walk, but not something to do at night as there are no street lights or pavements. I do think this needs to be made clear. Two features that were slightly frustrating was a very stiff tap on the bathroom sink which made a dreadful noise when using it. Also, the WiFi (which I believe the main router was in the neighbouring cottage), dropped off and would not reconnect, but not wishing to disturb the neighbours in their accommodation, put up with it.

  This quite a nice property, very clean throughout, which we were very happy about.

  There is quite a bit included with the health club on site, we didn't use the facilities though. The cottage is lovely and modern, bright and light. The bi-fold doors are a great addition. I only had 2 minor grips, I think it would be too warm in the summer in the bedrooms and there is no way to cool them that I could see. We stayed in Autumn and the bedroom was very warm during the first couple of nights, requiring the window to be left open. The bedrooms are quite snug. The property shares an access to the next door property, which removes the privacy in the garden and living room. But as I say these are very minor gripes, everything else is nice.

  The cottage was in lovely condition and fairly spacious.

  It was very warm and we struggled to keep it cool, even turning the thermostat right down. We also found the hot water in the shower ran out quite quickly - there wasn’t enough for two showers in a row. Other than that we thought it was ideal. The honesty tuck box was a lovely touch! We didn’t use the gym but did use the pool. It’s fair to say it’s a little tired, but was fine for a few lengths and a quick sauna! Although there’s not much to do in the immediate vicinity, there’s quick access to Portsmouth, Southampton and the New Forest, as well as Bournemouth and Winchester a little further afield.

  We can’t fault the owner speedy response to our queries but Sykes had a terrible costumer services line and we couldn’t even speak to someone about our booking which was disrupted by riots across the U.

  K. The listing wasn’t accurate enough, we ended up bringing lots of stuff that we didn’t need and ended up being supplied in the cottage including hairdryer, hand wash and washing up liquid, sponge and kitchen towel. The internet was pretty bad too, although the owner responded quickly saying it will be fixed on the same day, we had terrible internet throughout our 4 days stay. The place was clean and quiet. It would have been great to have extra light sheets to use for covers as it was too hot to use the duvets. On the whole it was a pleasant stay.
