Had a fantastic holiday. Everything had been thought of from the welcome basket to all the lovely hair care products. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, along with all the supplied bikes. Some very nice touches to make our holiday go smoothly. Any minor problems were sorted by Guy, the owner, immediately which was refreshing. Thank you Guy.

Lovely cottage with fabulous garden and facilities in easy access of Lymington and New Forest. Great hot tub, swimming pool and pool room with loads of things to do. House quirky with lots of levels and in need of some tlc in places but fantastic place for a large family holiday.

A perfect venue for a long weekend family gathering - great facilities and amenities, and plenty of space for everyone. Well located for local attractions. Just be wary of narrow/steep stairs if either little ones in the house party.

Beautiful house and gardens, well appointed and plenty of room for the 12 of us. The hot tub was hot! The pool however, didn't feel warm at all, so only a few braved it! Location brilliant, within easy walking distance of the co-op and pub.
