Luxury villa for 22 people with pool, jacuzzi, large garden and private pub!

------
Our beautiful Thatch Cottage has 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms of which 5 are en-suite. It has a large, generous garden and borders protected woodland. The center-piece is the stunning, enclosed courtyard with plenty of seating, a large beautiful pool and an 8 person jacuzzi! The property has 2 fully equipped kitchens, a breakfast room, a barn area with dining for 22 people ideal for a celebration dinner. There is also a gas BBQ in the garden. There are 2 wood burning stoves and the house has two lounge areas with large smart TV's and Xbox, which provides plenty of indoor entertainment. A fully equipped utility room with washing machine and dryer makes your holiday a pleasant experience.

We have a garden chalet with a sun terrace that serves as a games room. The chalet has a professional 7 foot slate-bed pool table, darts and outdoor table tennis. We also provide a selection of outdoor games for activities in the large, enclosed garden.

Please note the pool is open approximately May-September. The pool is heated by solar panels and air-source heat pump so the pool temperature is weather dependent. The Jacuzzi is hot and available all year. The pool has a safety cover preventing people falling in the pool. It is easy to use as the cover has an easy automatic opening/closure mechanism. Not only does the cover keep the pool cleaner but also the temperature warmer!

We only provide one set of towels for each person, please bring extra for swimming pool and spa.

In the enclosed courtyard you will find sofas, chairs and sun loungers. In the garden there are plenty of outdoor sitting and eating areas. The large, enclosed garden is an ideal playground for children and pets, and provides plenty of room for outdoor games. In the garden there is a beautiful fish pond with large mature Koi.

Kindly note that we have a minimum stay of 7 nights during the summer period. Shorter stays (minimum 3 nights) are possible from mid-September to mid-April, excluding the holiday season.

We have an on premise fully licensed pub serving local beer and other alcoholic beverages for the private use of our guests. Timo has a Personal License and will open and staff the pub by request. Please ask us for more details.

Being on the Dorset Hampshire border, you have access to lots of pub and restaurant possibilities. For fun family activities, Moors Valley Country Park and Avon Heath Country Park is less than 10 minutes drive away. The award winning Blue Flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole are a 20 minutes drive away. The New Forest with charming Pubs and endless possibilities for walking, cycling and exploring is less than 10 minutes away by car! Follow the New Forest Taste Trails by bike, on foot or on hoof, sampling local ice creams, ploughman's lunches, cream teas and seafood along the way. Paultons Theme Park with Peppa Pig world and Lost Kingdom (Dinosaurs and rides) is also only 30 min away. The charming town of Salisbury and its medieval cathedral and the iconic prehistoric stone circle at Stonehenge is 20 miles away, making it perfect for a day trip!

Family Christmas Getaway

Beautiful thatched cottage, large enough to accommodate 4 generations over the Christmas period. Great communication with the property manager, always very responsive and willing to call round and answer any questions. Easy access to the hot tub was especially appreciated. Location of the property is excellent to access activities without a long drive. We stayed 11 days and didn't run out of things to do and places to visit. Generally furnished to a high standard, but perhpas a couple of the beds could benefit from replacement mattresses. We visited in Winter and could see how special this property would be in the summertime. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

Fabulous!

We booked Thatch Cottage for a family celebration to cater for a party of 16 and were not disappointed. Despite the weather, we had an amazing long weekend, with all ages making full use of the indoor and outdoor space and facilities (especially the games/pool room, bar and swimming pool/jacuzzi). Timo was so helpful throughout and on hand to meet us on arrival. Would have no hesitation recommending this wonderful house.

Excellent stay

We booked the property to celebrate my Mother in law's 80th birthday and it couldnt have been any better. The sizeable property had everything we needed along with plenty of space for our party of 21 to spread out. The hot tub was a real hit with everyone and the games room fired up the competitve spirit in some. We had fabulous weather for the weekend we were there at the beginning of March, but not warm enough to use the pool! We were able to get out and about in the local area and recommend the Moors Valley Country Park, especially if you have children as there is lots to do to wear them out. Catering wise, we had a very goodmeal at the Three Legged Cross pub, which is 1 mile from the property, so easily walkable. the 2nd night we cooked in the house which was easy thanks to the great stock of pots and pans and the multiple ovens. On the final night we had a takeaway delivered in, from one of the nearest towns. A final mention goes to Timo who was an excellent host, there to let us in and show us around. In contact throughout to check that all was satisfactory and whether we needed anything. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a large property for a group holiday or special celebration. I hope to return one day and use the pool!

Lovely property. A few maintenance problems could have been addressed before arrival.e.g rickety hand rail to pool. Also felt a few niceties would have been welcome. E.g a welcome pack,shampoo and coditioner in the bathrooms,considering the overall cost of the property. DDog owners beware of Ticks

We travelled to Thatch Cottage for a three night stay for my 50th birthday extravaganza. The communication with our hosts as excellent and the check-in process was simple. The property is amazing and the facilities were perfect for our needs. The local area is lovely with plenty of things to do for all ages and interests and the property is the perfect base if you just want to relax. Thank you to Susanna, Steven & Timo for making my birthday everything I wanted, and very much needed, after an extremely busy year. I hope you can come back some time and visit again.

Fantastic venue for a 50th Birthday!

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The Thatch Cottage is a lovely location to relax with friends for a weekend of birthday celebrations. The games room, pub and hot tub kept us occupied. The kitchen was well equipped and a great social space to gather in. The sitting room is also laid out to be a cosy social space. There were enough bedrooms for 13 adults to sleep comfortably with 6 being ensuite. We would definitely recommend and so would our guests.

Amazing Property for a Family Break

The house and pool were stunning. We chose a beautiful weekend in September and were able to make full use of the amazing pool. The pool area was in full sunshine but there was plenty of umbrellas for shade if needed. There is a lovely mature garden at the back with plenty of both sunshine and shady areas. Having our own pub in the garden was just brilliant and we made good use of this area, even hosting our own pub quiz night! The layout of the house was very unique and the bedrooms were good sizes. Would definitely recommend it!
