  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.

  We very much enjoyed our stay at Seaside.

  The apartment was very comfortable, well equipped and peaceful, and surprisingly quiet given that there's a flat above and neighbours next door. Being on the ground floor it was also very pleasantly cool which was especially welcome as it was an extremely hot week. It's lovely being so close to the sea and hearing the waves, and there are walks with beautiful views in both directions from the apartment. The drawback is that it's on a very steep hill and, if you come by car, you can't park outside or very nearby. We decided not to pay for a week's parking permit and instead parked, for free, in a road not too far away (Park Road) and this worked well for us. Another difficulty, (but this might be due to our ineptitude with such things!) was that we found the keysafe very difficult to open. On arrival we almost gave up trying after numerous failed attempts but then, miraculously, it opened! But no such luck when we left so we posted the key back through the letterbox instead. We've found keysafes tricky at times previously but have never before been unable to open one eventually. But, notwithstanding these issues, we loved the apartment and its location (in spite of the climb!) and wouldn't hesitate to return.

  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.
