Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Brenda G. 7 Nov 2020 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Very disappointed with everything! The upstairs beds are very old and extremely uncomfortable, while the 'single' bed in the room with bunk beds would only be suitable for a very small child. There are only 2, two-seater sofas in the lounge and they are very old, grubby and uncomfortable. All of pillows and duvets are extremely old and grubby too, with no pillow protectors used. There was dirt under both sofas. The oven is so old that most of the symbols have worn away, so you have to cook by guess work, particularly as the oven door will not shut! The cooking equipment is also old and damaged with ‘Teflon’ flaking off the pans. The fire exit was locked, there are no extractor fans in the toilet or bathroom and the downstairs toilet opens directly into the kitchen right by the table. In fact, anyone sitting there would have to move to allow access. We had an emergency situation arise when the door lock broke and we were locked out with 3 small children. Communication was a nightmare and no-one would speak to us. All communication was by text and we were given no indication as to how long we would be expected to wait for help. Overall, a very disappointing experience and definitely NOT worth the money we paid! Will not be booking again. ##### Brenda G.

Round the corner from lovely pub with friendly staff and great food. The bedding and bathrooms were spotless. Double beds X 3 very comfortable. Our two teenagers had one each which was a bonus ! The garden was leafy and big enough for the dog however not fully enclosed. Not an issue for ours but maybe for some if they like running off on adventures ! Lounge ok but very gloomy as shadowed by huge oak trees so had lights on most of the time. Only two sofas to seat 4 people in comfort. Ok for us but might not suit a larger party if spending evenings in together. Kitchen good overall..dishwasher welcome . Drawers were tricky to open and need to bring some sharper knives and a large chopping board if plan to do lots of cooking ! Not many good walks direct from cottage which was a shame. Only found one linear route north to a plantation so a car needed to access good circular walks further afield. Recommend visits to : Lymington town , Keyhaven lagoon ( can paddle board and kayak safely here ) and walk to Hurst castle. Also Buckland Rings iron age hill fort, drives onto the Forest and Moor. We also went to Beaulieu motor museum which was a fab day out. ##### Clare H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Sept 2020 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Nice property, some reservations. Entered to a sign asking to take shoes off, but feet became filthy due to wooden floor immediately. As all downstairs floor is wood, this was a problem. Plates in middle of pile needed recleaning (dried food stuck on them...we have photos)... possible issue of too little salt used in dishwasher? Off-putting at this time of CV. Mattresses overall were disappointing, one single couldn't be slept on. Kitchen was well equipped, but no space for food. Overall, a nice cottage, which we enjoyed, despite the above issues. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Tracey H. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Communication was appalling I have never experienced communication with a property like this before. It was terrible from start to finish. I know we wasn't allowed any literature but it would have been nice of letting us know what was near us, what we could do etc. The property wasn't as expected, the layout wasn't that great, with the toilet in the kitchen. TV was tiny and not very good wifi. Not sure why the wifi was so difficult to get on to. We had no water on the first night, not the owners fault, but they could have handled it better. All in all not very impressed. ##### Tracey H.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Joe N. 24 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely little cottage Cute little cottage for a stay in the forest. Great price and lovely little log fire. No wifi but this is well advertised and it's actually pretty nice to get away from it all. ##### Joe N. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > - [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > - [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > - [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > - [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > - [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > - [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > - [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > - [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > - [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > - [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > - [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > - [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > - [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > - [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > - [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > - [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > - [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > - [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) > - [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > - [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) ---
