We can highly recommend the 'Monkey House' restaurant/pub that is a 2-minute drive towards Lymington. The beautiful and upscale ‘The Pig’ restaurant in Brockenhurst is great for family celebrations and is 20 minutes away.

Well situated. Vehicle parking good. Ideal property for large groups. Garden perfect for games. Kitchen/conservatory perfect. Ground floor bathroom could do with some general “Tlc”. Overall our group enjoyed the stay. Would recommend.

We are living London, we wanted a quiet place to relax. New Forest house delivered it, having the forest just a minute walk from it allowed us to enjoy the pleasure of long walks through it, especially the dog. Our favourite times were the evenings having BBQs, playing games as family. In one day we had the pleasure to be visited by two deer in the garden as well, probably because it was raining heavily. At the bottom of the garden there’s a monkey tree swing, my favourite:)) we’ll definitely go there again.

I booked the house for me and my family to stay in, in the lead up to my wedding. The house was stunning and perfect for our large family! There were 16 of us total, and the house felt spacious even with 16 of us in there. The house was immaculate, the perfect layout with an incredibly beautiful garden. The hosts of this house are amazing and quick at replying to any questions asked. Would highly recommend.

Very helpful detailed information from the host about the house facilities and things to do locally. Well equipped house with plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. One guest found the mattress a bit lumpy(GF by staircase) and it was a bit difficult to gauge the size of the bedrooms from the site photos for judging the best room for young children, but helpful to have toddler bed /cot provided. Would like the vrbo site to be clearer on how and when the 'service charge' is calculated

This property worked well for us as a family - we used it as a base for a family wedding in Lymington - and it had the perfect number of bedrooms to sleep us all - thank you very much Nathan and Julia

The bedrooms layout were good, there was plenty of parking space, the conservatory was a lovely space and communication with the owner was good. However the dining room table only sat 8 so we had to bring in a rickerty table from outside and a couple of the family had to sit on the breakfast counter. There were plenty of plates and cutlery etc but the cutlery in particular could do with updating! The bedroom and bathroom upstairs were both great. However the beds in some of the other bedrooms were very old and uncomfortable - some of our party left early as the beds hurt their backs. There were enough chairs in the lounge for everyone to sit on, but that included dining room chairs so not very comfortable to sit and chat and play games as a family of 13. The garden was a lovely area and the grandchildren loved the swing and as a family we made use of badminton and table tennis. However the grass was so long and everything so overgrown that we couldn’t use any of the outside seating apart from the wooden table and chairs outside the conservatory. This could be a lovely property but would benefit from some TLC

We we’re really pleased with the property, especially the kitchen and dining area. It was very clean, the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, cups and crockery. The garden was lovely for the children, the trampoline and rope swing were well used. The extra fridge in the utility meant there was more than enough fridge space for all the food and drink for a group of 15 for 3 nights. Great communication from the hosts and the recommendation for a meal at the monkey brew house was well received we had a fantastic lunch there. The only negative would be that some of us felt the beds were a little uncomfortable, but we all said we would happily stay again.

The property is very spacious and well suited for family get togethers. The furniture is adequate and the garden is a really good size with plenty of spaces for the family. The white goods are showing their age and could be replaced to make the property a 10/10. The TV reception was a bit in and out. Whether its the position of the house/dish I'm not sure but it does need some attention. But overall a very good holiday let. Would I return? Yes, with one or two minor upgrades.
