Roslyn

What a delightful property!

This is clearly a much loved family home set in a fantastic garden - complete with a deer who visited each morning. Yes the house is dated but this only adds to the charm of the place! Bedrooms are large and a choice of 2 sitting rooms. The entrance is a bit tight but we soon got the hang of it! Would definitely go again - thank you!

We greatly enjoyed out stay in Roslyn and would be very happy to go there again.

Yes it's a bit old fashioned but as an older couple we were quite happy with that, clearly a much loved, family home. We found all the rooms to be large; two, yes 2! lounge/diners, both spacious, so noisy entertainments in one and quiet reading in the other. One led in to the kitchen and the other to an inner hall, off which were a cloakroom and a downstairs double bedroom with delightful view on to part of the garden. Two very large bedrooms upstairs and a shower room. Very easy to park multiple cars on the shingle drive, driving in forwards and turning in front of the garage to drive out forwards again, even with 2 cars we managed without any problems. We could have done with some helpful instructions for the electrical goods. The TV signal (Freesat) was hit & miss, as was the mobile phone signal. And please don't hide the window keys, took us hours on a hot day to get them open. Also easy contact to owners would have been helpful, for those of us who don't have smartphones or apps. We revelled in the spacious grounds, plenty of seating, large lawns, magnificent copper beech tree, tiny stream, wild orchids, All surrounded by stately oak trees. What's not to like. Only 4 miles from Romsey and similar distances to some truly lovely gardens.

Roslyn is clearly a family home and very much reminiscent of bygone times.

We stayed as a multigenerational family of 4 adults and 1 toddler, and although the max quoted is 8, I can't see it myself as the downstairs rooms are quite small. Furniture is arranged not as a separate sitting room and dining room, but as two sitting/dining rooms (4 and 4). Description is also not accurate as there is no bath, just a walk in shower, and one of the double bedrooms is downstairs off the kitchen with only one double and the family room upstairs. A tyre swing and a small stream running through the bottom of the large sloping garden are nice features. Driveway is narrow with a tight entrance, and you are recommended to reverse in as turning would be very difficult with more than one car. Nowhere to hang wet coats. On the positive side, the family bedroom is lovely, with a large double and bunk beds. Plenty of toys, books and games are thoughtfully provided and kept our pre-schooler amused all week. Masses of hanging space for clothes in the upstairs double. All the beds were really comfy, with crisp clean bedding and HUGE duvets! The kitchen is well supplied with a large fridge/freezer, freestanding cooker and a separate built-in oven. We didn't try the dishwasher or washing machine. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, glass and cookware. (Recommended not to leave food out at any time as there were a few ants). Large Aldi 10mins away in Romsey, and cottage is really close to Peppa Pig World! Owner very responsive.
