A retired couple in our Golden Wedding anniversary year, we booked Pond Cottage long before the Covid crisis to celebrate our "special year " with close family. Chosen for it's location in the New Forest and for the range of accommodationand facilities provided, Pond Cottage did not disappoint. It has an impressive kitchen / dining area with vaulted ceiling and oak beams and lots of space. The equipment provided is generally of high quality including the Wifi connection that had good reception.
The cottage was warm and toasty - just as well because we had a wet and windy week unfortunately - and the wood burner was a delight when we lit it on a couple of evenings.
Access is good down a lengthy gravel drive bordered by fields occupied by New Forest ponies. However, the drive from the main roads is on narrow country lanes which are a little tricky especially when daylight has gone.
Our daughter, husband and 2 grandchildren enjoyed the cottage and the walks nearby. We all went to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard which was a lovely day out and my wife and I visited Sammy Miller's Motorcycle Museum on a particularly wet and windy day - both tourist attractions were excellent value and very interesting.
Overall, Pond Cottage enabled us to have a much needed family holiday and the layout enabled us to give each other space. We used the ownstairs bedroom and ensuite whilst the family had the 3 bedrooms upstairs and the bathroom / toilet up there. The owner described Pond Cottage as "quirky" and it is, but pleasantly so. There are steep stairs to the first floor and stairs from the kitchen to the lounge - not an issue for us, but maybe for those with mobility problems.
