Peter was a wonderful and very responsive host. Lovely house with absolutely beautiful views of the rolling Hampshire countryside. Great base for day trips to explore the area. We all really enjoyed our stay.
Nice cottage in a quiet location situated in the grounds of the host's property. Good location for exploring Hampshire and New Forest. Able to take our dog off walking in the woods from the back garden. Lovely farm shops nearby.
A ideal retreat to escape the stress of the modern world. Peter was a wonderful host, he allowed us to bring our dogs along & advised us about walks in the locality. He was available if needed, but otherwise you had complete privacy.
A true paradise. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting about 1.5 hours from London, this property felt like stepping into another world—quiet, lush, and full of life. The greenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the surrounding forest teems with wildlife. Every second we spent here was pure joy. Our old dog, who usually prefers to nap most of the day, suddenly came to life—running freely through the woods with a spark we hadn’t seen in years. Peter, the host, was incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. If you're looking for a tranquil escape into nature, this is the spot. We’re already dreaming about coming back.

This cottage has a lovely bird filled garden and many beautiful walks on the doorstep. Very quiet. The kitchen could use a better pots and pans, with lids that fit, and more cereal bowls. Very comfy bed.
Peter was an exceptional host and the cottage location was perfect - tranquil but yet close enough to everything we needed. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
The host was welcoming and the location is amazing but the house needs a little work. The house was very cold and the host had suppled electric heaters which helped a little. But the timings that were set on the central heating were too late and turned off to early at night. I did speak to the host and he took this on board. The house could do with a insulating which would help with the coldness and a thick curtain at the door would make a massive difference to the draft that comes down the corridor. My older kids liked going into woods at night to investigate and the dog loved the field.The kitchen could do with some good wine glasses, mugs and serving spoons. Some bowls for cereal as there was only three soup bowls which are quite shallow. The TV isn't a smart TV and could do with an upgrade we did take our fire stick but there is no port for it.

Thanks Tara for your suggestions.
I didn’t realise you were freezing and would only have been too happy to extend the central heating times if you’ve asked me!
I will follow your advice and add the missing utensils in the kitchen.
