It's well equipped - inter alia there's a hair dryer, a cafetiere and corkscrew (other property owners please note!) It's an easy drive to Romsey, Winchester, Salisbury and Lymington - and it's very very close to Mottisfont (a delightful NT property).

The layout of the property is very clever and comfortable. The owners are welcoming and hospitable, allowing use of their garden if you wish to. The property is well situated for visiting a wealth of interesting places that are within easy distance. The Roost has trees at the rear which makes you feel that you are in a well equipped treehouse for grownups.

"A small but beautiful property, cosy and light, great for one or two people."
Lovely situation backing onto woodland, great for bird watching. Surrounded by pretty villages but conveniently close to major roads and the M27. Just two small points, a larger TV would be better as the current one is quite small, also the bedroom would benefit from a door to make it more cosy at night. Space is a premium but a sliding door would fit.

"The Roost was very welcoming in as much as it was clean, comfortable and in a gorgeous, quiet location."
A bottle of wine and box of cookies was left for us which was a nice touch. It was compact and cosy but we did not have an issue with the size although I could see that others had commented on the fact that there was only one small sofa. This did not bother us. On the second and third morning, unfortunately there was no hot water in the shower. I am sure that if we had contacted the owner he would have resolved the problem. But the days were hot and we chose to have cold showers instead! But we did leave a note for him before we left so that he would be aware before the next guests. There were many great day trips in the area and all in all, we had a fantastic time.

"A wonderful country location with easy access to the New Forest and tourists favourite towns and villages."
All the sounds of the countryside, birds, sheep, pheasants, to greet you in the morning and beautiful wooded views, which we loved. An ideal position for visiting all the county attractions, most within a 40 minute drive away.
The cottage was spotlessly clean with all facilities to make it home for the week. Everything worked fine and we found the shower was a very refreshing experience in the mornings.
Although, you do have to ask the owners for use of the washing machine and iron/ironing board, which probably not an issue in nice weather. But if you are out all day, you`ll have to time or arrange this to suit I guess. We met the owners briefly and were very accommodating nonetheless.
The cottage is compact, an ideal refuge for the evenings but we felt it needed a dining table otherwise it was eating on the sofa, which is small to be fair. But bearing in mind the price point of the cottage and floor space, it is good value and that is why the aforementioned is absent. The cottage is open plan with no door between bedroom and kitchen diner to separate them. Not a big issue, especially if used as a base but just observations through our previous cottaging preferences.
Overall, it did not distract from our holiday experience and had a wonderful week in the New Forest.

"The cottage was lovely, the owner very friendly."
Two points for improvement. One is a couch that is too deep and not wide enough for two persons. A bigger couch and an extra comfortable chair is definitely needed in an other wise excellent cottage. The other point is, there are no cleaning utilities. No broom, vacuum cleaner, dustpan and brush, absolutely nothing. We felt bad having to leave without being able to clean the floor.
***owner response****
There are cleaning products and a dustpan and brush within the property. There is not a space for a broom or vacuum cleaner as we have no expectations of our outgoing guests to clean the property prior to leaving. Our cleaner comes in on each changeover day to ensure that the property is thoroughly cleaned for our next Holidaymaker. Thank you for your feedback on the sofa, we are looking to change this to a 3 seater moving forward
