What our customers say about their holidays

  Very clean and tidy.

  Beds very comfortable. Linen and towels goid quality. Ensure was very small, dormer bedrooms headroom above beds restrictive.Tv in living room not central on wall and a little too high. 1 x sofa too low and not the most comfortable. Lights too bright in living room. Needs dimmer and perhaps more table lights. Mirror too low in front bedroom. Underfloor heating not easy to control the room temperatures, but that coukd gave been us. Dining room brochures on the wall rack makes the room look untidy. A little difficult parking on the drive. Outside light seemed to have a mind of its own. Could do with a front light to illuminate the parking area. Kitchen very narrow to work in. No coffee supplied. Milk, tea and cake were very welcome. Rear garden hedges could do with cutting back, couldn't see a light to illuminate the garden. No grassed area , just a bare patch of ground. Location for Ringwood not bad, around 20 minutes walk into the town with lots of eateries and fair selection of shops. Good bus service from Ringwood. Bournemouth only £2 each way.Overall , we did have a lovely stay and slept well in the beds. Some minor improvements would make beau annexe much better. Would recommend this holiday home, but beware of the headroom restrictions in the bedrooms I'd say.

  In a great location.

  Dog walking near by. Cake, sugar and milk left for our arrival. Tiny kitchen. Not enough space to put any provisions anywhere. Could be more kitchen utensils, e.g there was no colander, or non stick turner for frying eggs. Had to clean the cutlery tray and the drawer, as was a little dirty. Everywhere else appeared clean. Washing machine would have made more sense than a dishwasher. A coffee table is needed in the lounge. TV in lounge not in a great position. Bedroom ceilings slope on one side, so had to try not to bang our heads. No where to put clothes if you wanted to unpack your cases. Probably suit young family rather than 4 adults. Would have been nice to have an information booklet listing local amenities/phone numbers e.g, nearest shops, dog walks, doctors, vets etc, however there was a brief note on the entrance wall, welcoming us, and and if we needed anything to call a couple of phone numbers, and the owners were next door. When we first arrived, the owner next door pulled into his drive but didn't even acknowledge us, which felt a bit unfriendly. There were no intructions of what to do at the end of our stay e.g strip beds, or not, etc. However, we still made the most of our week and enjoyed our stay.

  Endymion is a cosy, comfortable chalet in the heart of the New Forest.

  The owners live next door - they and their dogs are very welcoming and on hand if needed. We enjoyed relaxing in the small enclosed garden watching the wonderful variety of birds that came to feast upon the bird feeders and sitting inside in the evening, warmed by the log burning fire. We had welcome gifts of fresh produce and wine - greatly appreciated - plus ample dog towels and poo bags if needed. The chalet has everything required in order to prepare meals but there are also many pubs dotted about in the area to enjoy too. It is certainly a fantastic place to get away from it all - literally, as there is no phone signal here!! There are plentiful walks right on the doorstep if you want a break from driving. Be sure though to have a sturdy car as the mile or so gravel road leading to the chalet can be a bit punishing! Having said that, it is worth the effort to be away from the towns and traffic and to see the deer and ponies (and cattle!) that roam freely across the beautiful landscape, not to mention the clearly visible stars of the night sky. In all, a great place to escape and relax.

  Had a really lovely week here- 2 adults, one toddler and one huge dog.

  Owners went above and beyond to rearrange the furniture in the second bedroom for our toddler's needs and put my mind at ease. The garden was lovely and really secure, the dog spent most evenings sunbathing on the deck! As mentioned in previous reviews, the bedrooms and upstairs en-suite were a little cramped, but the bed was extremely comfortable and the downstairs was very spacious. We actually opted to use the downstairs bathroom and used the dining room as a dressing room, which was perfect for us. The kitchen was narrow but perfectly well equipped, and we got welcome cake which is always a bonus! Also in the dining room is a noticeboard full of leaflets for local attractions, which we found very useful. Ringwood is a lovely little town with nice shops, a waitrose and a sainsburys. There was a small playground nearby (off Ash Grove) which was perfect for our toddler, and we noticed another, larger playground further into the town which looked good for older children. Thank you for a lovely stay, and we hope to be back one day!

  We had a 4 day short break ( 4 adults and a dog ) and Beau Annexe was perfect.

  It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable and two showers were handy with 4 adults. It is very well situated to explore the surrounding area. Ringwood is beautiful and would highly recommend Naru café for breakfast and The Fish Inn is a beautiful thatched pub in lovely gardens next to a lake .The food is very good too. Poole and Bournemouth are also very near by. We had a 5 star stay but I would agree with other reviews that there is only parking for 1 car and the sofas could do with replacing as we like to stay in in the evening and the sofa was a bit hard but i disagree about the garden. The decking area is large with 2 tables which was lovely to sit on and have breakfast in the morning. The grass area is small but perfectly adequate for our cockapoo to run around on. I would also have liked a larger tv but that's personal choice. The one has loads of channels and features and was fine. We would definitely recommend. Thank you for a wonderful break.
