What our customers say about their holidays

  Forrester House was used as a pre-Christmas gathering for myself and my partner, and his family.

  His family are spread out across all corners of the country and we took the week to reconnect with each other. The house was perfectly suited to our needs as a family of 7, plus dog - areas to be close and spend quality time with each other, and areas to hide away and escape. Our favourite room was the small lounge (we nicknamed it 'The Snug'). The utility room was ideal for dog owners post-walk, especially if your pooches like to get a bit muddy! All bedrooms were very spacious, as well as the en-suites and bathrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need, and the Christmas tree was a nice nod to the festive time of year. The house is well presented, down to the decor and the layout of each room. We enjoyed exploring the local area's towns and villages during our stay. On departure, there were many tears, and we don't know when the next time all of us will be all together again - but they were happy tears, filled with the memories we created as a family. Thank you to Lou and her fantastic team! We will never forget our time at Forrester House.

  Had a lovely few days, owner and key holder very friendly.

  Great location in a nice area which was great for walking and the pubs were good (nice beer) with everyone being very friendly. In terms of the cottage I would recommend maybe a table and chairs in the garden itself (most of it is used for fruit and veg but there could be room and this might be nicer than the seating outside the kitchen which due to weather felt a bit dark and damp - we were lucky rest of week with dry weather hence maybe seating further down would be a nice option if there for longer. The cottage has been done out really nicely- very cosy downstairs with a really nice size bedroom upstairs. If you struggle with mobility the stairs do have a narrow footing and the bathroom is downstairs :) Kitchen had everything we needed and really helpful to have some cleaning products available (not always the case). Overall a great stay and one we would do again.

  Forrester House is a lovely property and has been renovated to a high standard.

  We booked for the weekend and had a great time celebrating two family birthdays. The heating is effective but we did find that it was either very warm or not hot enough. some instructions on how to set the thermostat or the radiators would be helpful. To improve the experience, much better towels would be of benefit. The property details say that bedding and towels are supplied - but in reality you get a hand towel and one a bit smaller each - you really need a bigger towel (like a bath sheet). smaller issue is that the tea towels are poor quality and be great if there was an apron. It's obviously a new renovation and will require some tweaking - it;s not cheap to hire and the interior design is spectacular - for the towels and some instructions for the heating and it'd be just about perfect.

  Upon arrival fo the property we were greated by the owner and her lovely doggos.

  The owner is very friendly, helpful, kind and happy to point you to the beautiful local spots! We had everything we needed there, but obviously bring your own food! Although, there's plenty of eggs! The owner was thoughtful enough to put shower gels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning supplies, towels, a hairdryer and even extra fluffy blankets for those cosy nights in, out for us. The local scenery is so beyond beautiful too. My fiance and I were the first people to stay at the property that aren't friends / family of the owners, and we certainly will not be the last. Beyond happy with our experience, this is the best holiday we've had in a while. Will definitely return. Thank you for having us guys, and thank you for giving us such an amazing time.

  We had a fabulous holiday at Forrester House with our children (7yo and 3yo twins).

  We arrived on the Friday of a heat wave so stayed on site initially and made best use of the outdoor space with the kids. Went to the Marina on the Sunday for lunch - was a nice spot and only a 2 min stroll. Beds weren't too firm for us but after entertaining 3 kids all day and a few wines at night, sleep is never an issue (until said kids wake us in the night!). Had lovely days out at Hoo Zoo and BeWILDerwood - both recommended (to tire out said kids). Property was ace, spacious, biggest property we've stayed in, no issues. Decor was fantastic, though sadly my partner now wants me to redecorate half our house because it was so lovely. Had a great stay, would stay again. Thank you.
