    "A nice modern barn conversion, with a small enclosed decked yard to keep your dog safe, and to allow a private area for sun bathing."

    Has a comfortable lounge area for when the day is done and you just want to lay back and watch tv. Has a modern shower room and toilet, all clean and hygienic. Car parking is nicely positioned only feet from the back door. One of the best positioned let’s I’ve used only a short walk from the centre of the town.

    "Had a wonderful stay at 1 Welford."

    Owners were extremely polite and helpful. The accommodation itself is a fantastic place to stay if you plan on exploring the new forest and ideal if you plan on bringing your dog along with you. Safe, secure and perfectly positioned near the town and the wonderful open areas of the park.

    "Our stay was enjoyable, very clean and comfortable."

    We would have appreciated a welcome pack to make a drink, after an 8 hour journey, instead of having to go out to buy milk. There was no cleaning equipment ie. mop/bucket, dust pan/brush, or vacumn, although products were there, no cloths were provided. No provision to dry clothes. They need an outdoor store to store cleaning equipment. Richard was very friendly, but Joanne only spoke once to tell me the patio was slippy when wet, no other conversation took place.

    G soap dish, shower caddy. Have spoken to the owners who apologised and a frying pan and tea towels arrived and were assured that the other things would be addressed. Otherwise a lovely clean and comfortable property, will certainly return.

    "The barn is very comfortable and a lot of thought has obviously gone into making guests welcome."

    We have just one suggestion to improve things still further: it would have been great to have a quick instruction sheet for the oven, hob, and heating, as we had to figure these out for ourselves, which took a little while. Otherwise all good.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. The instructions for the heating and hob are in the information folder but we will add a quick instruction guide thanks Jo Property Owner
