  Four families came to celebrate our silver and my sister's Ruby wedding anniversaries.

  The two separate cottages and barn accommodated all 11 of us, with the use of two put-u-up settees. We used the dining and kitchen area of one of the cottages for the children to eat and it meant that there was still some living space for other adults wanting a retreat! The children loved to watch the farm animals, but were a little wary of the dogs! Each cottage is well equipped as is the barn, with TVs in the cottages but not in the main barn. The barn area has a lovely long table and benches allowing us all to share the days activities with our meals, but perhaps one small point is that sitting 8 adults on the sofa was a bit cosy! The position of the cottages gives you easy easy access to the sea and all that you find in the New Forest. The owner provided an additional service of a three course meal to end our celebrations, which I would highly recommend. This was a perfect retreat for a lovely family celebration. Thanks to Cathy, the owner for all your help to make this a most enjoyable stay.

  It was a lovely property and we had a wonderful time.

  The location was fantastic and a great base for exploring the Hampshire Downs, New Forest and Dorset coastline. The only point I would like to make is that I think it was a little disappointing that we could not enter the property until 6pm on our day of arrival. I totally understand the current situation with Covid-19 and the extra cleaning that needs to take place but I didn't really feel that an awful lot of cleaning had taken place. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and pleasant but not entirely sure everywhere was sanitised. We stripped beds on departure, as requested, which was fine and this included bagging up duvets, pillows and towels. This would have saved the cleaner a good half an hour. Please don't see this as a criticism though or a lack of understanding on my behalf, it's just a little frustrating to lose a day of a much needed holiday. However, we would definitely return to this property.

  We have stayed in lots of cottages over the years and I must say that this is definitely one of the best.

  Everything was very clean and tidy. Everything we wanted was provided. The little kitchen is very well thought out and made cooking a pleasure. In response to a previous review I would just like to say that the extraction hood was clean and worked, the windows sparkled, the washing machine drawer was spotless!!! We all slept like logs every night and were warm and toasty - under floor heating being very effective. Beds very comfortable and the little twin room was perfect for our children (8 & 10) a little dark during the day but we weren't on the doorstep of the New forest to spend the day in bed!! Fantastically located for exploring and very private. WiFi / mobile service was a bit shaky but that suited us as we were enjoying our escape from normal life! We highly recommend these cottages and hope to return with extra family next time so that we can have both cottages and the centre area.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Pippin.

  The village seemed lovely and very quiet, but it was difficult to go out walking here as there were no footpaths. Not too much of an issue for us, but could be if you have small children. Perfect location for us to be able to visit family and have a few days out with the children. (Monkey world, Moors valley, and Avon heath) The accommodation was perfect for the 4 of us. It was actually a little bigger than expected. Nice small garden with seating outside (although could have done with a fourth chair outside). Good sized towels and bed linen provided, and little extras like a few dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee, and some milk were a bonus so we could enjoy our cake, from Cathy, with a cuppa on arrival.

  Peaceful location on the very edge of the New Forest.

  The cottage was light, airy, spacious enough for our family of 3 plus our large dog. Loved the powerful shower and the outdoor space. Beds reasonably comfy. Plenty of storage. Community shop was stocked with essentials. Enjoyed using the communal pool table. Delicious cake on arrival was a welcome treat after a long drive. We have visited the New Forest before and would recommend Beaulieu Car Museum. On this visit highlights were Knoll Beach, bike riding in Brockenhurst and archery at Insight Activities. Make the most of Martin Downs on the doorstep of the cottage, to walk the dog here each morning was a fab start to the day. Would recommend the cottage for a comfortable stay in Hampshire.
