The house was lovely and clean with plenty of space for us all.
The large garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and very secure.
Beautiful area with lovely walks just outside the village.
Would recommend, as a lovely peaceful stay.
Many Thanks Helen
Lovely comfortable property with plenty of space for young children, parents and Granny. Kitchen diner/ utility formed the heart of the home with good cooking facilities. Good bathrooms and bedrooms.
We spent 3 nights here over easter weekend
Plenty of room for 4 adults (one in a wheel chair ) and 2 small dogs
The property is right in the heart of the new forest
And close to beautiful beach of Milford on sea lovely walks, Plus local shops just up the road
Extremely comfortable every thing you will need in the house And bonus of a beautiful garden
We were very lucky with the weather
Highly recommended place to stay
Lovely, spacious property. Nice outdoor area in back garden with conservatory. Good facilities such as a dishwasher, washing machine and drier. Very well-equipped with both utensils to cleaning products to games and TV/video.Great umbrella shower and crisp, clean bed linen. Situated well as easy to get to Lymington to the ferry for the Isle of Wight, Highcliffe beach and there is a train-line to Bournemouth and Southampton. The only thing which needs improving is the garden chairs as they were a bit dodgy and need checking. We didn't actually have to have any communication with the owner but all access/ TV/WiFi and washing machine info was all easily accessible which was brilliant. Would definitely rent this property again. Highly recommended.
My husband's first comment when we opened the front door was 'This place is like a tardis!' Woodfearn is large, lovely and extremely comfortable. Well-equipped and very versatile, easily accommodating five adults, two dogs and a family get-together of another fifteen people. The garden and patio area are ideal for outdoor eating , and the lack of light pollution in Sway means that you can enjoy some stargazing too. As well as highly recommending the house and grounds, we found that Sway is a lovely little village too. Sway butchers and the Sway Deli and Cafe have a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian products. The Plough Inn, and Hare and Hounds are local and have great menus. Further afield is the Needles Eye Cafe in Milford, the Gun at Keyhaven and The Larder in Lymington. Highlights of the holiday; paddleboarding in Keyhaven and a day's sailing from Lymington with Escape Yachting. It was a wrench to pack up and leave yesterday. Thank you.
Large, comfortable, well equipped house with a very helpful owner in a great location for seeing the New Forest and coast. We stayed a couple of years ago and couldn’t find anything better when we wanted to come to The New Forest again this year with our baby and 2 year old so we had a second enjoyable stay here.
Nice location, beds very comfy. Found quite a lot of the double glazing hard to open and shut. Two of the bedroom doors would not close and kept banging open and shut whenever we had a window open which was very annoying. A full size ironing board and some more pegs would have been useful as well as there was only a small table top ironing board. Great place to stay to explore the new forest.
Spacious comfortable house with lovely garden within walking distance of village which has all amenities you need. Easy to get to coast and New Forest. We’ll worth a visit.
Lovely spacious property in a quiet neighbourhood but in the heart of the forest and about 20 minutes to the sea. Good local pub within walking distance. This house needs a little maintenance and has a nostalgic 80’s feel to it, though the appliances are very up-to-date. It is very comfortable and has a lovely outdoor dining area and beautifully planted rear garden full of unusual bushes, shrubs and flowers. We ranged in age from 9 months to 90 years and all of us loved it here. Thank you Helen for a perfect family break.
The house is spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. It is in a quiet location but within easy reach of the village centre and well placed for exploring the New forest.
