  • "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.

    Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

    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.

  • "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!

    Thank you for your wonderful comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. There have been a number if reports in the press of phone chargers catching fire overnight, here is just one case https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/news/warning-after-phone-charger-fire/ We don't obviously have any contol what chargers guests bring into the property but there is a greater risk of fire when guests utilise third party cables and chargers rather than the manufacturers originals. This is the reason we have the polite request. The TV is a smart TV and connected to the internet, but we will have to look into what catchup channels are available. It may be worth us purchasing a NOW or Amazon stick which would allow all the channels, so thanks for raising this. Once again thank you for your comments and your rating. Hope we see you again sometime in the future. Property Owner

  • "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 are really sorry and very surprised you did not found the sofa comfortable and to say it had little support. We obviously can’t provide a sofa which will be comfortable for everyone. The sofas are of very high quality and top quality fabric and the sofa is sprung as well as the cushions. We always like to call on our guests not only to meet and greet but also to make sure everything is ok. In October we had a very severe storm which we suspected had done some damage to property. I think an assessor inspected the property while you were staying. I remember on another occasion I visited to tell you there was no need for you to leave by 9 am on the Friday. I hope you agree the garden is kept up together and obviously windows need to be kept clean as well as facias etc. These activities we try to perform while gusts are out but sometimes, especially with the gardener this is not always possible. We are really sorry that our popping around made you feel uncomfortable, but we do try to maintain the property to a very high standard. Property Owner

  • "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

  • "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.

    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.

    The whole house was beautifully dressed and there was not one thing missing that I needed.
