What our customers say about their holidays

  A wonderful country location with easy access to the New Forest and tourists favourite towns and villages.

  All the sounds of the countryside, birds, sheep, pheasants, to greet you in the morning and beautiful wooded views, which we loved. An ideal position for visiting all the county attractions, most within a 40 minute drive away. The cottage was spotlessly clean with all facilities to make it home for the week. Everything worked fine and we found the shower was a very refreshing experience in the mornings. Although, you do have to ask the owners for use of the washing machine and iron/ironing board, which probably not an issue in nice weather. But if you are out all day, you`ll have to time or arrange this to suit I guess. We met the owners briefly and were very accommodating nonetheless. The cottage is compact, an ideal refuge for the evenings but we felt it needed a dining table otherwise it was eating on the sofa, which is small to be fair. But bearing in mind the price point of the cottage and floor space, it is good value and that is why the aforementioned is absent. The cottage is open plan with no door between bedroom and kitchen diner to separate them. Not a big issue, especially if used as a base but just observations through our previous cottaging preferences. Overall, it did not distract from our holiday experience and had a wonderful week in the New Forest.

  The arrangements were organised very well and we met Mr Brady at the allotted time.

  The cottage was comfortable for the two of us, it would have suited a couple and a child, but I think four people would have struggled. We did not cook during our stay, but the kitchen equipment seemed to be satisfactory, although it would be very useful to have a small freezer, even just for making ice within the fridge. A bit more shelving space in the bathroom and a larger shower head would also be useful. But the very hot water was ideal. We used the cafe next door for coffee/tea/Sunday lunch - a roast carvery and for a breakfast. All very good. The walk into Yarmouth is not far, which again is a bonus. There is a small stretch of beach that is slightly difficult to walk on due to the stones and if walking at night, you do need a torch. All in all we had a very enjoyable week and this was an ideal quiet base to get out and about to see the Island.

  The cottage was lovely, the owner very friendly.

  Two points for improvement. One is a couch that is too deep and not wide enough for two persons. A bigger couch and an extra comfortable chair is definitely needed in an other wise excellent cottage. The other point is, there are no cleaning utilities. No broom, vacuum cleaner, dustpan and brush, absolutely nothing. We felt bad having to leave without being able to clean the floor. ***owner response**** There are cleaning products and a dustpan and brush within the property. There is not a space for a broom or vacuum cleaner as we have no expectations of our outgoing guests to clean the property prior to leaving. Our cleaner comes in on each changeover day to ensure that the property is thoroughly cleaned for our next Holidaymaker. Thank you for your feedback on the sofa, we are looking to change this to a 3 seater moving forward

  Well what can I say.

  It was everything it said on the package. 5 minutes to the shops, beach,bus station, train station.Doctors & Chemist. It is compact & bijou for two adults & one child that is old enough to sleep in a top bunk. Which is a magnificent spectacular man made very safe in deed, that any child would have great fun sleeping on it.The oven works great. The shower you will not want to get out of. With it being on the back of the building you look out on to a small gravelled court yard. I think the big advantage being it is very very quiet & peaceful.Which we preferred. we would definitely recommend this set to any one. Rosalyn,David & Poppy our Toy Poodle.

  Here are the pros and cons we found.

  Pros: Excellent location; Clean; Well decorated; Well maintained; Good local information provided in the flat; Off street parking. Cons: Mattresses very uncomfortable, thin and giving no support; Very small bathroom; No microwave in kitchen; L-shaped seating area extremely uncomfortable, very high and no good for watching TV; Incorrect address given in email sent by Sykes, told us it was 25 when it is actually 24, resulting in us parking on the next door neighbour's drive! Instructions for retrieving key not very clear, didn't state that each flat had a different keysafe, and that there were numbers almost on the ground corresponding to each flat; Only a tiny mirror, no full length mirror.
