“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

“Need a little update”

Mr Della Mura August 2020

“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.

Mr Lindsay-Smith July 2019

“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.

Mr Hutchison July 2019

“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.

“Another enjoyable holiday at Pond View.”

Weather a bit off, but didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves. Ed and Fiona always friendly and helpful.

Mr Bullock June 2019

“It was a lovely holiday .”

Ed and Fiona were excellent hosts.A good cottage to relax in peaceful surroundings .We loved the working farm and the New Forest with the ponies and foals.

Mrs Lofthouse May 2019

“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+++

Mrs Cameron May 2019

“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.

- Mrs Cameron, May 2019
Mr Turner April 2019

“We loved the accomadation and area so much we wanted to stay longer, unfortunately it was already fully booked.”

Ed and Fiona were lovely hosts and obviously look after their properties.
