Henbury Hide

Our fourth stay at Henbury Hide was just as lovely as ever.

It was wonderful to see Alan and Giselle again — they always make us feel so welcome. The house was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully kept. We enjoyed some great days out, as the location is perfect for exploring the area. Another relaxing visit, and we’re already looking forward to the next one.

This is a very comfortable and extremely well-equipped holiday home with very helpful owners.

The outside decking and garden are an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property. 10/10

Beautiful property.

Perfectly placed for visiting family. Everything you need. Like a home from home. Warm and cofortable. Quiet location.

We had a great time at Henbury Hide.

It's conveniently located for the Dorset coast and inland. The house had (almost) everything we needed. The lack of washing machine was a shame but we knew that when we booked. We would happily stay there again.

It was a lovely house.

We expected it to be noisy as it was on an estate but it was one of the quietest properties we have been to. Everything you needed was on site and it was warm and comfortable. Also well placed for visiting Dorset, the New Forest and further afield. One small difficulty were the sitting room light fittings which were much too low for someone 6ft tall! We wouldn't let let that deter us from a return visit which we hope to make before too long. Thanks to the owners.

Nice accommodation and mostly well appointed.

No washing machine which we would expect for the price we paid, on checking this was not listed but not highlighted, the owners said it was unplumbed because of misuse. Sofas were very low with no upright chairs. Hoping the double duvet on a king-size bed in a king-size duvet cover was a mistake but frustrating when we realised a few days into the holiday. The kitchen was really well equipped and lovely well maintained garden.

We had a lovely stay.

Probably the best Sykes property we have stopped in. The house was very comfortable and cosy. The decking at the rear ideal for family meals alfresco!

Beautiful home with great facilities.

We were lucky to have a very hot week and we're able to eat outside on the lovely decking area almost every evening. Having an 18 month old with us did not prove a problem as the owners supplied us with a travel cot, highchair and baby gate for the stairs. There was a washing machine but this was not available to use which would have been useful, but we managed with hand washing. Thank you for a lovely 'home from home'

This property was exactly as listed.

A perfect home from home. Great location and facilities. Plenty of storage (the best we have experienced) for all your belongings. 2 bathrooms works well, although only one shower in the ensuite downstairs - requiring a timetable approach but not a big issue. A very comfortable property with a lovely garden. If you are tall (over 6ft tall) be mindful of the low hanging light fixtures in the lounge - beautiful but painful if you knock your head. Would recommend this property for a visit to Dorset and surrounding area.

House was beautifully presented and very well equipped.

Located in a great area for visits in all directions.

A lovely comfortable house to stay in, everything you can think of is provided.

Very peaceful and quiet and a great garden at the back. A spectacular coast line is only 10 minutes away. Plenty of places to eat out. Fantastic Kath and Phil

Very clean comfortable home from home.

Everything needed was provided. We used the garden a lot for meals. We were lucky with the weather to be able to do this. Would recommend this property.

Let's begin.

You couldn't finner any better than than Henbury hide. It had everything you wanted for a lovely holiday break nice all round. Plenty of parking lovely garden. Good fish and chips

Great property.

Lovely area

Great location.

Very comfortable and well equipped home.

All good.

Lovely house with everything included for a comfortable stay

A lovely holiday home.

Immaculately clean, warm and has a beautiful garden. Very quiet at night yet only a 10 minute walk from the shops in Corfe Mullen. My children loved it here. Perfectly located for the various attractions of Dorset and visiting close friends who live in the village. Would thoroughly recommend.

For 1 couple it was great.

For 2 couples a shower over the bath would be a great advantage. The property is in a great place for touring and handy for local services and public transport.

This marks our third visit to Henbury Hide, and it truly feels like a home away from home.

The house is impeccably clean, providing everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Should you require anything, the owners are just a phone call away. The beautiful garden and spacious decking area offer a relaxing retreat. Plus, its location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions and beaches.

Everything was excellent and we would recommend to anybody to stay at the property.

One of the most comfortable properties we have stayed in.

A lovely and convenient location with all the things needed for an excellent holiday. Nice to meet one of the owners who was very friendly.

We had a lovely stay in this property.

It was very comfortable, clean, cosy, well equipped and felt loved. The weather was a challenge at times so we didn’t get to use the nice outside spaces as we’d hoped but these would be good in drier warmer weather. The heating kept the upstairs warm and comfortable, although this did make the downstairs bedroom feel much cooler. This was a great base for travelling out for day trips in every direction. Only minor negative observations were that it was really tricky for everyone to leave their outside shoes by the front door and also be able to open the coat cupboard as it was a fight for same space, one double bedroom might also be better for families with twin beds instead of another double and it was unusual not to have use of the washing machine in a let of this size. The 9am check out time was also too early for us to manage with a disabled family member so we had to leave late Thursday night instead. Overall we really enjoyed our lovely stay in a lovely property!

Was a lovely house but the downstairs bedroom smelt of mould.

Settees are a bit saggy but clean. Probably best enjoyed in the summer when the damp wouldn't be noticed. We found the stairs hard going when we arrived and left with luggage etc but younger people wouldn't have had any problem.

Very comfortable house.

Maybe an over bath shower in upstairs bathroom would be an asset. We had an enjoyable stay.

As part of the generation that never uses a dishwasher we found the sink arrangement back to front which we did discuss with the owners but no big deal if you use the dishwasher.

Ideal location for visiting nearby attractions. Will come again.

the house (henbury hide) we stayed in was the best holiday cottage we have ever had.

. it was very clean and included a very well equipped and large kitchen. 2 large bedrooms (1 with en suite) large lounge very comfortable and a sun/reading room. the garden was a delight with a large sun deck with glass balustrading we ate outside all week.a delightful house well situated we will definitely return if we are in the area again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Henbury Hide.

A delightful and comfortable house in a great location for visiting Dorset’s attractions and countryside.

Lovely accommodation, well equipped, nice garden with decking, would have liked to stay longer.

Nice to come back to.

Fabulous property lovely owners had a great holiday would recommend to anyone

We had a great stay here.

Henbury Hide is a comfortable well maintained property, Would recommend

Great, clean, comfortable and quiet.

Every possible amenity for a short or longer stay. Nothing too much trouble on the maintenance side, Alan very responsive.

Perfect for or needs and well equipped with every facility that we could possibly want.

Thank you Alan & Gisele.

First class property but a shower over bath would be a bonus, also the ceiling lights in living room too low as if your are 6 feet or over you hit your head on them.

This is our second visit to Henbury Hide, we have no doubt that there will soon be a third.

Superbly decorated throughout, well equipped, comfortable and clean, lots of little touches. Great base to explore the surrounding areas. Gisele and Alan were superb hosts very friendly and accommodating. Lovely private garden with decking to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening. Would highly recommend a stay in Henbury Hide.

Comfortable holiday home with everything we needed.

Lovely garden too. Directions to the property were really easy to follow. Met the owners towards the end and found them really pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend Henbury Hide for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Excellent property.

High quality furnishings and fittings, probably because it was originally the owner's home. Owner very efficient in providing lighter weight duvet when requested. Lovely deck area for morning sunshine. Good location for days out although it is on a housing estate in a dormitory village to Bournemouth / Poole rather than a picturesque village. Two Co-ops and a garage but no other shops nearby. TV is free view only so, to watch catch-up TV, need to take own laptop. Odd house rules such as not being allowed to recharge mobile phones overnight!

We found that the sofas in the living room were very uncomfortable with little support on the seats.

Owners kept popping around, felt a bit uncomfortable.

We chose Henbury Hide to celebrate our Golden Wedding as we started our married life in the area, we were not disappointed in our choice.

We had lovely weather and were able to get out and about to where we wanted to go, we even got in some sunbathing in the back garden! The Hide is so well equipped and there was a lovely personal touch with toiletries, tea and coffee etc. The only problem we had was the steepness of the drive as my husband has a slight disability which causes him to be off balance, this is not a criticism however. We highly recommend this property. Gwyneth and Roy Spittle

We stayed in the same property last year, knowing it would be clean, comfortable and well equipped.

It's also well placed to explore that part of Dorset.

We had a lovely time here.

The location was superb and a lovely spacious house and garden. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in this area.

This is undoubtedly one of the best holiday homes I've ever stayed in.

Everything was immaculate and my sister in law and I were really comfortable here. Alan and Gisele are excellent hosts and did everything they could to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. This is a suitable choice for mature guests who will appreciate that this is a home from home and not a holiday home and will therefore treat it with the respect it deserves. As the accommodation offers two double bedded rooms with an additional sofa bed in the second living room if required, it is more suited to adults than to young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend Henbury Hide to other guests.

Warm, clean, comfortable and in a quiet location, this house was a treat to come back to during our damp and windy October stay.

We found it a really convenient location for exploring Dorset. We plan to return and look forward to breakfast on the decking looking out on the lovely garden.

The house made a perfect base for a holiday in Dorset.

It is a beautiful part of the country with lots to do within a 30 minute drive. It's well fitted out and equipped with everything you would need. Unlike a lot of holiday rentals we have stayed in, there is sufficient crockery to be able to run the dishwasher when it is full. We would certainly return to this house if we wanted to holiday in the area again.

Henbury Hide is a very comfortable, clean well equiped home from home.

The owner was very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely recommend this holiday let.

Everything was very clean & the kitchen was well equipped although the knives needed sharpening.

An over the bath shower was all that was lacking. Overall a very good stay despite the weather!! We've used Sykes several times before & will definitely use them again.

The house was comfortable to stay in and kids enjoyed the garden.

It’s a good base to travel and visit places in Dorset. Would have liked two showers but not a big problem. We will definitely come again.

A great base for Dorset attractions, this house was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

A garden for the grandchildren, a beatiful decked dining/drinking area, and being close to shops and pubs made this an easy option for us and it didn't dissapoint.

A lovely property within striking distance of lots of great places to visit in Dorset - the pictures don’t do it justice!

It was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. It had a gorgeous large patio area for outside dining and garden space for the kids to run around in. Would definitely recommend this property.

Conveniently situated, fully equipped lovely house , easy to find, good parking and very comfortable for a family get together.

Owners kept in touch to make sure that we had everything that we needed.

Came and visited to make sure that everything was ok. Really great holiday made even better by the weather meaning we could get on the beach almost every day. Will definitely return at some point when we want to holiday in the area again.

This is a lovely property, very comfortable, and very well equipped.

It is an excellent location for the country or coast, and has enough shops close by for basic provisions. It is very quiet, with ample room and a lovely garden. Owners are very welcoming. Will probably stay again

The owners of this property had gone way above and beyond my expectations - I was tasked with making some cakes whilst I was at Henbury Hide; took every utensil I needed with me - there was no need there were scales, mixer, bowls, measuring spoons in fact everything I needed - it was amazing!

The whole house was beautifully dressed and there was not one thing missing that I needed. The beds were very comfy, the lounge was very stylish and comfy and the picture of the garden on your website did not do it justice. If I was to visit this area again I would have no hesitation in booking Henbury Hide. Well done - five stars!

great chat with the owners on first day, super outside space all very clean and nothing lacking, would book again

The owners were very friendly.

Accommodation lovely. Good location for touring Dorset.

Very cosy cottage, with all needed facilities (apart from an hair-drier though) and elegantly furnished.

Centrally localised, the cottage is easily reachable and near many tourist points of interests. We heartily recommend it. Many thanks for everything.

Very well maintained property, with attention to detail.

Very clean and comfortable.

Delightful hosts.

Roomy cottage, well equipped.

Home made loaf provided on arrival, nice touch. Hot upstairs, but we did go on the hottest week of the year. Nice garden patio to eat out.

A nice comfortable home in a quiet location with all mod cons.

Centrally located for visiting local attractions.

Very relaxed, all mod cons, comfortable clean, centrally positioned to visit Dorset, would recommend.

The house was amazing and we felt truly welcome during our stay.

We had an excellent stay at Henbury Hide.

A home away from home, the owners are extremely kind and welcoming and provided everything you could need during the stay, and were on call if we needed anything. The house is very comfortable, fully equipped and suitable for children (even provided books for our son and put on their lovely Christmas lights for him to enjoy!) I would thoroughly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful two weeks holiday staying at Henbury Hide!

The owners were extremely welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The house is immaculate and has absolutely everything you could need. The garden is a beautiful place to sit, sunbathe and relax. The area is very quiet but extremely well positioned to access the many activities, places of interest that Dorset has to offer; as well as the local shops. We didn't want to leave and would certainly recommend Henbury Hide- it is one of the nicest places we have stayed. We left a very happy, relaxed family- Thank you to the owners for everything!
