Such a great property with all its quirks as a thatched cottage. Perfectly situated with easy access to the coast and the New Forest.

My stay was completely excellent. Janice was a fantastic host going above and beyond throughout my stay. Thank you Janice!

We stayed at The Thatched Cottage last week, for a family group to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. So modern, clean and cosy, and very well equipped, in a quiet location but within easy reach of supermarkets and restaurants. We were six adults and two boys aged 6 and 7, who loved the bunk beds and the themed rooms. We nabbed the Heart Room with ensuite for ourselves but the family shared the other bathroom and shower room. There was ample hot water, and the heating was efficient though we didn’t need it much. Monkey World, Moors Valley Park and the Heavy Horse Farm were all perfect days out, and the weather behaved itself. Didn’t get to eat at the Sheaf of Arrows unfortunately as it was closed due to sickness, but we took a walk for a beer at the Sixpenny Tap which was lovely. Great instructions and communications from Janice, we have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and would happily stay there again.

THE THATCH COTTAGE IS AN EXCELLENT PROPERTY & THERE IS NO DOUBT THE OWNERS HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT SETTING IT UP. UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH DETAIL WENT INTO THE BATHROOM FACILITIES. UPON ARRIVAL WE REALISED THAT ONE OF THE THREE BATHROOMS WAS LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE REAR FRENCH WINDOWS. THE SECOND SHOWER BATHROOM WAS AN UPSTAIRS ENSUITE BUT THE THIRD BATHROOM INSTEAD OF HAVING A SHOWER FACILITY OVER THE BATH HAD NO SHOWER. BEARING IN MIND THIS IS AN 8 PERSON PROPERTY I THINK IT IS TOTALLY UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT ANYONE LET ALONE PEOPLE ABOVE PENSION AGE TO EITHER ALL SHARE THE ENSUITE OR NEGOTIATE WHAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLY STEEP STAIRS TO WASH DOWNSTAIRS OF A MORNING. WHEN I TELEPHONED THE OWNERS THEY WERE WELL AWARE THE SHOWER HAD BEEN REMOVED BUT OBVIOUSLY HAD DONE NOTHING TO UPDATE THEIR WEBSITE. I DIDN`T FIND THE COMMENT THAT HE WAS SURE PEOPLE ENJOY A BATH VERY HELPFUL. IN ADDITION THAT MAIN BATHROOM HAS NO FAN EXTRACTION FITTED WHICH MEANS IT IS AGAIN VERY AWKWARD FOR MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY AS IT IS THE ONLY UPSTAIRS TOILET OTHER THAN THE BEDROOM ENSUITE. STRANGELY FROM THE OUTSIDE THERE APPEARS TO BE THE EXTRACTION GRILL BUT PRESUMABLY WHEN THE BATHROOM WAS REDECORATED THAT WAS ALSO REMOVED. FOUR OF US STAYED ALL OF AN AGE. NONE FANCIED PARADING THROUGH THE PROPERTY TO GO FOR A WASH IN THE MORNINGS OR INDEED AFTER RETURNING FROM OUR JOURNEYS. WE WOULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN THIS PROPERTY IF THE FACILITIES HAD BEEN CORRECTLY LISTED

Everything about this lovely home was perfect. Everything you could need is supplied. The bedding was so soft and warm. There were plenty of dishes and cookware. Janice responds so quickly and offered to turn on lights if we arrived late. The yard is as cute as the house. The kids didn’t want to leave. 5 stars over and over.

Lovely quiet Villiage. Cottage very spacious and super clean. Everything you need in a kitchen. No mobile reception- which we loved! Nice local restaurants and pubs, all within easy walk. Very relaxing stay, we will be back! Thank you

Great contact with owner and really clear instructions - cottage is beautiful and really clean and well kept - has everything that you could want if you want to cook for yourself, however, has two great pubs and a brewery with tap room within 10mins walk - thank you so much for a great stay

This cottage is a delight to stay in. Beautiful in itself, tastefully furnished and well-equipped, in a lovely area. I’d thoroughly recommend it.
