“This was our third stay at Pond View.”

We like the area and the cottage is perfect for our needs. The area around the New Forest offers lots of lovely walks for us and our dog. Our hosts were very welcoming.

“Pond View is a nice holiday cottage situated in a lovely landscape within a very attractive part of Hampshire.”

One point to raise is the heating arrangements.The first weekend was exceptionally cold for the time of year.The bedroom was kept warm by keeping the heating on and the door closed.However,with only one small heater situated by the front door and a very high roof area it was not possible to heat the main lounge and kitchen area.We sat on Friday night wearing jumpers.Saturday,we went into Salisbury and brought a portable electric fire so we could stay warm for the rest of the week.The only other problem,which only lasted until Monday and is no fault of the owners,was children being allowed to run around the properties shouting until 10.30-11O'clock at night.Rhese two small problems should not detract from the advantages of spending a holiday at West Park Farm.

“We had a wonderful week at Pond View.”

Ed and Fiona as hosts were very approachable and friendly. We felt immediately at home. Great base to explore the New Forest and the south coast. The accommodation was immaculate. Thank you

“Everything about the destination and the owners commitment to their customers was perfect - personal, personable and willing.”

Everything about the Sykes end of the arrangement was rubbish. Sure, you have the automated touch-point comms perfectly sorted. And your system works hard to continuously engage and mine data. But from the moment something went wrong to the moment I gave up trying to reach a human being NOTHING met my needs. I doubt that we will willingly head your way again.

“The barn conversion was not to bad in all other places we have been to we have always had a welcome pack left to us not one here.”

Bed was very good! sofa to old and low to the floor cups and some plates were dirty two pans in the oven needed washing kettle full of scale hoover smelt as if the bag had not been emptied for a long time and smelt of doggy but other electric goods were ok.

“We made the mistake of relying too much on the photographs of the property on your website.”

On the website the photos show a light and airy sitting area, in reality it was very dark. Sadly there was no private area outside for us to sit except for two extremely dirty seats alongside a dirt track where farm vehicles constantly created a dust storm as they travelled along the track. Also there was evidence of wasp nests which prevented us from opening windows. All in all it was a disappointing trip, we left the very next day.

“It was a lovely holiday .”

“Cottage situated on a working farm, beautiful scenery, and lovely animals.”

Very quiet and green. We had to drive to find shops and pubs but no further than 2-3 miles so no problem. We would certainly book again and we would stay in Pond Cottage again. We had a very relaxing stay.

“The peace and quiet.”

We were more than fortunate with the weather, but we were even more fortunate with our choice of accommodation ( which was mesmerising in its abundance ). We could not have chosen somewhere more appropriate for US. The facilities were beyond reproach - there was something for every need on a quiet holiday - a top class for comfort and cosiness in the cottage itself, but the owners on this working farm were effacive until approached, and then we were shown new lambs and new adoptions after untimely deaths. Local shopping and eating out were fantastic.A+++
