• "We enjoyed our holiday in the New Forest despite having issues with the property."

  ,It was advertised with a fridge/freezer but it was only a fridge with an ice box. The shower room needed a deep clean as the tiles down each side of the wash basin had not been cleaned in months. Both beds needed replacing. The single bed had a depression down the middle and the double bed was hard, sagging and uncomfortable. Also there was no hot water for 3 days and when it was fixed it was only warm. The double bed had a king size sheet on it and there was a king size quilt cover on the double duvet. If these problems were rectified it would be an excellent property.

  We were sorry that there was no hot water on there arrival , but we did everything that we could to rectify the problem, as the this is a Biomass boiler the spares had to be sent from Wales,the water was back on late on Monday evening all thanks to our plumber who worked late into the evening .There is a electric shower and a dish watering in the annexe. The annexe is thoroughly cleaned between every letting so that remark is unjustified. As to the beds it is impossible to please everyone, and we would not knowingly have beds as described .The beds are made up with double duvet on the single bed and king size on the double with appropriate duvet covers,as this gives good coverage for comfort when turning etc.We were sorry that we were unable for the guests to have earlier admittance to the annexe as requested but we had a lot to contend with that day.We try and make are guests stay as pleasurable as possible, as on this occasion there was a fan installed as requested on a very hot day.Regarding the advert for the fridge this was not knowingly described by us.

• "The images we saw online which encourages us to choose a property didnt match up in reality,cream settee,bright cushions etc,a bright outlook,instead everything was dark grey,all very dull in comparison ."

  Also it would have been helpful to have a list of instructions,emergency numbers,places to visit etc .A visitors book which would have been very helpful to see where other visitors had been.The kitchen had everything needed and the property itself stood in a lovely spot,just a few tweeks needed in our opinion,sorry.

• "The single bed needs replacing."

  There is a long dip along the length of the mattress. This didn't cause loss of sleep but with the very high rental charges, I feel this is unsatisfactory.

• "We would definitely recommend this cottage, very comfortable, warm and convenient for the Forest and seaside."

  Afternoon sun in the private garden was lovely to sit in and relax after a day's walking with bird song and deer in the next field.

• "This was our second stay in February in this property."

  It is very well located for the New Forest and the Lymington-Keyhaven nature reserve. It is particularly well-equipped and comfortable, although the bedroom was a little chilly - we borrowed the duvet from the second bedroom! We would certainly recommend this secluded accommodation.

• "A lovely comfortable property in beautiful surroundings."

  Owners were so welcoming and friendly. Nice central place to visit the forest and surrounding area. The property was well equipped but a few more cleaning products ( dishcloth/sponge, surface cleaner, antibacterial hand gel etc) would be good. All electrical items were PAT tested but I did notice a bedside light flex was taped together which is obviously a electrical risk. But overall a lovely property and I had a great stay. Thank you.

  It is away from the main road with ample parking space and is in easy reach of Lymington, the I.O.W. ferry, Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard as well as having the whole of the New Forest, with its ponies, donkeys and pigs, nearby. Very friendly and helpful owners too.

• "The Annexe is comfortable, warm and well equipped and the owners are very friendly."

  The property is a good base from which to explore the New Forest and coast. There are plenty of good walks - we managed to clock up over 60 miles during the week, both in the woods and along the coast and estuary walks. The only minor drawback is you can't really walk directly from the property as the road outside is very fast, so you have to drive to a suitable starting point. That said, everything is within easy reach. Some others have commented on road noise but we didn't hear anything. It was lovely to see deer coming into the garden to feed on the fallen apples, and of course there are New Forest ponies everywhere. It was strange to see highland cattle wandering along Brockenhurst High Street as though they owned the place! A very enjoyable week and highly recommended.

• "Nice little annex, very clean and well equipped."

  Lovely garden, managed to get some super photos of the family of deer. The only drawback is the WiFi connection, it is terrible! We think the signal comes from the main house next door and is very weak. It was constantly on and off, and we could only get it in certain parts of the cottage. This was a pain as we had a teenager with us. We enjoyed the new forest and the coast, both within a short drive away. Enjoyed evening strolls along the numerous marinas in the area. Can recommend the Red Lion in Boldre and the Monkey brewhouse just a couple of minutes drive away towards Lymington for dining. Overall we had a lovely holiday in the annex.

  The bungalow is exceptionally clean and beds are so comfortable. This is our third time of booking and can’t wait to book again.

Lovely walks easy access to all the lovely places.

• "We had an amazing time, the annex was just as expected and the couple that owed it were very welcoming and friendly."

  The living room was spacious yet cosy and the kitchen had everything you would need including a washing machine and dishwasher. The double bedroom has a large wardrobe and two bedside tables with lights, the single bedroom also has a similar set up and the bathroom was also clean and tidy. Even though it rained pretty much every day we still managed to enjoy the garden and even saw two beautiful deer eating some of the apples that had fallen from a tree. Only thing we did notice was that the Tv and Wi-Fi signal would sometimes cut out especially when the wind and rain were in full force, but we knew that being in The New Forest the signals could be interrupted but it didn't affect our time to much as we came to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the comforts of 'home' while being on holiday.

• "Very private and quiet."

  A bit isolated this suited us but would not suite everybody. The host family were nice. The only drawback was the busy A337 road particularly in August. We could hear it in the night sometimes. Being on one level was important to us particularly my wife who is disabled. There are facilities near by. At the bottom of the hill is a co-op garage and shop. The Red Lion pub in Boldre is about one mile, they do nice Meals. There are Supermarkets in nearby Lymington.
