  • "Very clean and tidy."

    Beds very comfortable. Linen and towels goid quality. Ensure was very small, dormer bedrooms headroom above beds restrictive.Tv in living room not central on wall and a little too high. 1 x sofa too low and not the most comfortable. Lights too bright in living room. Needs dimmer and perhaps more table lights. Mirror too low in front bedroom. Underfloor heating not easy to control the room temperatures, but that coukd gave been us. Dining room brochures on the wall rack makes the room look untidy. A little difficult parking on the drive. Outside light seemed to have a mind of its own. Could do with a front light to illuminate the parking area. Kitchen very narrow to work in. No coffee supplied. Milk, tea and cake were very welcome. Rear garden hedges could do with cutting back, couldn't see a light to illuminate the garden. No grassed area , just a bare patch of ground. Location for Ringwood not bad, around 20 minutes walk into the town with lots of eateries and fair selection of shops. Good bus service from Ringwood. Bournemouth only £2 each way.Overall , we did have a lovely stay and slept well in the beds. Some minor improvements would make beau annexe much better. Would recommend this holiday home, but beware of the headroom restrictions in the bedrooms I'd say.

    Bed super comfortable but a small double . Nice cake and milk which was appreciated. Small garden but completely dog proof and adequate for our needs. Close to town and forest . Toasty warm , showers good , would have liked a washing machine and the WiFi drops out a lot but apart from that it was lovely thank you .

    Thank you for you’re very kind feedback .we are planning g to make some improvements in the future such as adding a washing machine and bath .we are planning to improve the small garden when space in bookings allows. Property Owner

    There were hand towels but nothing else. We had to go to Sainsbury's to get some. In the blurb it says towels provided. No dishwasher but understand space was limited. It is a small but well designed property in a pleasant road. We did enjoy our stay our first holiday in over a year There was also no information pack that we could find.

    Had everything we needed , milk in fridge, coffee, tea and hot chocolate and a lovely homemade lemon cake, which was delicious! Beds were comfy and towels provided. A lovely separate dining room and 2 shower rooms to use! Would definitely recommend and would book again if visiting new forest again. Easy check in and check out too! Thanks for a lovely stay

  • "Good location to stay for the New Forest."

    Better suited for younger people. Garden really unsuitable for dogs as grass area is non existent. Listing implies fridge, freezer but its actually a fridge with a small freezer top with very little space. At a loss to understand what the upstairs middle room was all about. Would have benefited from being turned into a laundry room and dispose of the dishwasher. Not enough kitchen cupboard storage space

    Small, but perfectly formed with everything we needed for our stay. Lovely comfortable beds and ultra clean throughout. Really nice to find some basic essential supplies such as tea, coffee and milk on our arrival together with a lovely cake. Definitely somewhere we will consider returning to in the future. Equally happy to recommend to friends and family who are looking for accommodation in the New Forest area. We walked into the town on several occasions of an evening, local shop within easy reach too. Dog friendly with ultra secure fencing. Nothing not to like really.

  • "We had a lovely week here."

    The property was very clean and well equipped. Great location for visiting the New Forest and South coast. Only a couple of small negatives in that the Double bed is quite difficult to get in and out of on one side due to the sloping ceiling. The garden was overgrown and would benefit from the shrubs/trees being cut back to expose the small lawn area, especially as we had our dog with us. Overall though we would definitely return and recommend to others.

    Reviewed by Nicola11.7Jul 2023

  • "As frequent visitors to the New Forest we’ve yet to return to any previous property."

    However this modern and functional annexe is ideally situated within walking distance of the town and its amenities. Two excellent pubs serving good food and ale are within a 5 minute walk. The property is immaculately presented and cleaned to a very high standard. Both Netflix & Amazon tv are available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return in the future.

  • "Great little cottage, dog friendly and short walk to the town."

    Lovely countryside, forest walks and country inns near by. The cottage would benefit from a washing machine rather than dish washer but that's a personal preference. The sloping roof in the main bedroom was awkward as very low and you easily bang your head if not careful, but overall it was a very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay. Thank you to the owners for the lovely extras, delicious cake, tea, coffee, milk etc, really nice thought. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

    Reviewed by Deborah10.8Apr 2023

  • "The facilities are adequate but with a few drawbacks."

    The bedroom is hampered by a severely sloping ceiling making access around the bed difficult. The en-suite bathroom is very cramped with little room for toiletries. The kitchen is rather poorly lit. The lounge is fairly comfortable but rather basic. The location is very good, the rear garden is a bonus. The lemon drizzle cake (homemade) was a nice touch

  • "Very tiny annexe, needs some TLC."

    Kitchen is minute, wall cupboards needed. Washing machine needed not a dishwasher. The use of space is quite baffling, poor layout. Bedroom en suite is very small, my wife only 5'2" and struggled. The dining room en suite bathroom only a fraction bigger. The outside space is small and has a 3m high fence, so not much sunlight gets in. We were also troubled by RATS. Notified the owner who got past control in. Would not recommend this cottage. A lovely welcome package on arrival.

  • "Really lovely stay."

    Great location for exploring the new forest and Dorset coast. Beautifully clean, and the little bits left like milk and a cake made it extra special. Perfect size space for a family of 4, with 2 adults and 2 small children. Only very small thing that could be added would be a guest book or recommendations for local places/restaurants to visit, but that’s only very minor. Thank you! Would definitely come again!

    Reviewed by April13.3Apr 2023

  • "In a great location."

    Dog walking near by. Cake, sugar and milk left for our arrival. Tiny kitchen. Not enough space to put any provisions anywhere. Could be more kitchen utensils, e.g there was no colander, or non stick turner for frying eggs. Had to clean the cutlery tray and the drawer, as was a little dirty. Everywhere else appeared clean. Washing machine would have made more sense than a dishwasher. A coffee table is needed in the lounge. TV in lounge not in a great position. Bedroom ceilings slope on one side, so had to try not to bang our heads. No where to put clothes if you wanted to unpack your cases. Probably suit young family rather than 4 adults. Would have been nice to have an information booklet listing local amenities/phone numbers e.g, nearest shops, dog walks, doctors, vets etc, however there was a brief note on the entrance wall, welcoming us, and and if we needed anything to call a couple of phone numbers, and the owners were next door. When we first arrived, the owner next door pulled into his drive but didn't even acknowledge us, which felt a bit unfriendly. There were no intructions of what to do at the end of our stay e.g strip beds, or not, etc. However, we still made the most of our week and enjoyed our stay.

    Warm and cosy. Couple of down points, no storage space in the kitchen for provisions to be kept, no tin opener!! Mixed and matched the shower rooms as the sink is tiny in the en-suite, so ended up using both, shower and loo upstairs, sink and toilet in downstairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our two dogs loved the garden and decking to mooch about. Thanks

  • "Perfectly adequate accommodation for our week's holiday."

    Bedding inappropriate for season but owners provided something for double bed and just used duvet cover on single. Needs more crockery and cutlery to maximise economical use of dish washer. NB for users - no freezer just small ice compartment at top of fridge (needed defrosting to add space). No storage in twin bedroom. Only 1 toilet tissue provided for each bathroom. No basic bits as usually found in rental kitchens such as cling film, foil, oil etc. Hand wash provided as were tea towels (read not included). Plenty of towels. Tea bags, milk, sugar, some pre-mixed coffee sachets and home cooked cake - yum. Enjoyed garden area with both shady and sunny spots but smoky on occasion. Large off-road parking for 1 vehicle, no on-road parking near-by. Accommodating, pleasant hosts.

    A great startingpoint for our first acquaintance with this region. We really enjoyed it.

  • "We had a 4 day short break ( 4 adults and a dog ) and Beau Annexe was perfect."

    It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable and two showers were handy with 4 adults. It is very well situated to explore the surrounding area. Ringwood is beautiful and would highly recommend Naru café for breakfast and The Fish Inn is a beautiful thatched pub in lovely gardens next to a lake .The food is very good too. Poole and Bournemouth are also very near by. We had a 5 star stay but I would agree with other reviews that there is only parking for 1 car and the sofas could do with replacing as we like to stay in in the evening and the sofa was a bit hard but i disagree about the garden. The decking area is large with 2 tables which was lovely to sit on and have breakfast in the morning. The grass area is small but perfectly adequate for our cockapoo to run around on. I would also have liked a larger tv but that's personal choice. The one has loads of channels and features and was fine. We would definitely recommend. Thank you for a wonderful break.

Couple of minor issues I would comment on is the information regarding car space. It states parking for two cars but there is no way you could achieve this. It didn’t affect our stay but could catch future renters if they come in two vehicles. Due to the narrowness of the road it would be impossible to park outside the property. Would be convenient to have an outside light to the rear of the property
