Superb venue in a superb location
Six of us stayed here for a weekend, each of us were immensely impressed.
Expectations were already high on account of the professional contacts with the property managers beforehand and the quality of the digital literature they provided to prepare us for our stay. But the premises more than met these expectations.
The place has real charm and character yet is filled with state-of-the-art gadgetry and impressive inspiration that was user-friendly. We were never confused by anything that was intimidating to use. It all just worked easily and brilliantly. And we all commented on how comfortable the furnishings were, especially the beds.
As for the location, obviously it is in the New Forest so you are surrounded by excellent walking areas, country pubs and restaurants (we went up to the Pig in Brockenhurst on Saturday and then had a great Sunday lunch in the Red Lion in Boldre). There is a petrol station with an Asda that is a minute's drive away and a Waitrose a bit further away towards Lymington. The hosts were very generous with the basic amenities provided (milk, bread, eggs, lots more) so I would advise checking in and seeing what's required before quickly popping out and doing a shop.
It is more expensive than similar properties but worth it. The owners have really devised something special and your guests will definitely be impressed.
