We found this a delightful, very spacious yet cosy, warm cottage for our December holiday. Nice to have fluffy towels! Plenty of space to park by the door making off-loading straight forward and access to & from the road was easy, from where the New Forest, Solent and south coast were easily accessible. Also plenty of walking or cycling is possibleRead more from the front door. Hide

Helpful hostess. The apartment is top class - beautifully furnished and a nice patio. Road outside is busy but not intrusive. The building is well sound-proofed for voices but not for creaking floorboards!

The property is located on the inside curve of a busy road resulting in a very restricted view when trying to exit the property.
