We had a lovely family Xmas break. Steven and Timo were great hosts and v accommodating to our requests. The cottage was decorated so beautifully for Xmas with log fires burning on arrival. The facilities were ideal for a large group. We all thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and surrounding walks.
We picked this property as it seemed to offer something for all the family, we weren't disappointed, everyone enjoyed there stay, lovely house, facilities and surroundings.
A beautiful house, full of character and spacious well equipped garden. We all had a great time and loved the hot tub. Good location for New Forest and beaches. We really enjoyed driving through the forest and seeing so many horses.
Very near main road so some road noise but bearable.
We had a wonderful stay in the Studio. We went with four families and all had plenty of space and loved the garden, BbQ, hot tub and surrounding forest. Only 15 mins to the beach!
Timo the host was great, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Lovely place to celebrate a special occasion with all our family. Plenty of space and straight into the forest!. Luigi was a real bonus. Will recommend.
Lovely property with some great outdoor space. The hot tub was fantastic. Very good communication with the owners, and our group had a super weekend. The one negative was the close proximity of the house to a busy main road, which is mostly blocked out with the windows and doors closed. All in all though highly recommended.
We found this a great location for our 3 day cycling tour of the 2 forests (10 cycling with 2 back up cars)
We also used Luigi the resident chef on the Saturday night for our GALA dinner.
Such a fabulous property. The location is fabulous. So lovely to be able to walk straight into the woods. The only slight issue for us were the 3 twin bedded rooms. They are situated in the attic space, so very small with slanted roofs. Ideal for kids, but not adults.
A lovely property, ideal for 11 of us from 93 years to 5 years old. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area was perfect for us all to be together. The host was very welcoming and helpful.
The hot tub was great, and being able to walk out of the garden gate into the forest was lovely. The fire pit was an added bonus. The property is well placed for visits to the New Forest. Altogether an amazing family Easter.
From the moment we arrived we knew this would be a special property; the Studio exudes charm, warmth and a real family feel. It was a perfect backdrop to a 60th birthday celebration.
The hosts, Steven and Timo, were welcoming
and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property, you won’t be disappointed and we will definitely return.
This was a lovely property in a beautiful location. The garden was great for the two dogs that we brought. The host showed us around when we arrived and said if we needed anything just to ring this was comforting. The only slight draw back was it could have been a little cleaner in fact there were a pair of knickers under one of the beds presumably left by a previous tenant!
Lovely host who was very helpful and friendly. The forte of this property is the number of great outside spaces to sit. Some shade, some sunny. And the garden gate opens onto the Forest where it’s a nice walk to Moors Valley Country Park which is great for kids but also nice for adults. Upstairs bedrooms not really suitable for little ones because of the steep stairs. Recommended.
We stayed at ‘The studio’ for my wife’s 70th birthday. There were 9 adult and 2 teenagers. There is so much space with lots of seating areas all around the grounds. The garden and patio are lovely. Great selection of bedrooms. Toilets and showers. My family made lots of use of the hot tub. Early April the weather was brilliant luckily. I would highly recommend the studio!
Overall a comfortable house although the three bedrooms in the roof were very small and low. The kitchen was adequate but some detailed instructions for the dishwasher and induction hob would have been very useful. 14 occupants pushes it to its limits, particularly when there are only 13 spoons! Guests should be advised to take there own coat hangers as there is little in the way of wardrobes, only wall/door hooks.
From start to finish excellent communication from Steven and Timo. Great to have support from Timo while we were there as we had a few hiccups with the oven, hob and dishwasher. Modern technology!I hadn’t realised that 2 beds were for small children but fortunately one adult couldn’t make it so the teenager managed to stretch out on his own!We all loved the hot tub and was a great way to start Christmas Day morning. On arrival we were welcomed by Timo and a warm and welcome house decorated for Christmas and 2 log burners burning brightly. We had a lovely family gathering and were able to explore the nearby Blashford Lakes and nature reserve. Great gardens and grounds but better for a spring, summer or autumn break.An interesting marble cast and family history in the house.ThankYou so much ch Steven and Timo.Rosie
This property is ideal for a large group of friends or family. It comfortably accommodated 8 of us across 3 generations, including 2 small children - a great kitchen, lots of sleeping, chill out and dining options, plus plenty of bathrooms! We lit the huge log burner each evening (logs provided) as a little chilly, which was lovely and cosy. The garden is large, mature and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating plus a bbq and firepit, and we made full use of the hot tub. Enough space too for children to explore and play, very safe. Communication with Timo was great, he was patient with our questions and responded very quickly. An added bonus was having the lovely Luigi cook us a fabulous Italian meal, he was great fun and so patient and kind with our 7 year old whom he had as his “sous chef”! Ringwood forest, moors valley country park and go ape are easily accessible either walking out of the back gate or a short drive. Parking is plentiful and safe as gated.
All in all, a fabulous weekend. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the property, although quirky, very clean and welcoming, is tired and in need of some tlc and maintenance in places.
Very comfortable, great location, clean, well stocked and the host was extremely responsive.Absolutely beautiful house. We had an absolutely fabulous weekend.
