A lovely 5 star Air BnB for Easter for Beck Cottage, thank you from Sylvia.

A beautiful property in a beautiful and convenient location. Great features and facilities!

Many thanks to Frances Holloway for the very kind 5-star review below, after their family stay with us at the New Forest Cottages in February!

“We had booked Mews Hill and Criddlestyle Cottage for a week for my Mum’s nineteen children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, so we could finally do some of the celebrating together as a family which Covid had forced us to cancel. We had a great stay, despite the best efforts of Storm Eunice to stop us! The effects of the storm were cleared away very quickly for us, and by lunchtime the next day, everything was back to normal. The two houses were exactly as we’d hoped, spotless, and comfortable for the whole family. The hot tub was a huge success, with at least 2 branches of the family now lobbying for one to be installed at home. We will never forget those family evening meals round the huge table in Mews Hill – for the adults, they were one of the highlights of our stay! In brief, our stay was clean, comfortable and had something for everyone. The little girls were stunned by the play equipment which they couldn’t believe was just for them – they said it was more like being in a playground in a park. We met ponies, donkeys and deer, and would certainly consider staying again, whether here or at other Short Stay Homes properties.”

Many thanks to the Khan family for their very kind guest book review left after their stay with us at Forest Drove Cottage in March!

“The cottage was amazing, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We requested for decorations for husbands 30th birthday to be set up for arrival and they did a great job with. Will definitely return and recommend. Thank you!”

John and his group stayed at Criddlestyle Cottage in April 2022 and left us a 5 star review, Thank you John and we will ensure there is enough saucepans going forward!

We had a brilliant time but the sunny weather played its part. There were 9 in the party and there was plenty of room inside and out. Sleeping and shower/bath accommodation excellent. We stayed for a long weekend and ate out apart from the first night. If you were staying longer and wanted to cook a lot there should probably be more pans etc. in the kitchen. However, for a short stay and eating out it was great. No complaints. Would thoroughly recommend the cottage and area is good for walking with good pubs etc for eating out.

Many thanks to Craig, Diane & Matthew for the below guest book entry left after their stay with us at Riverside Lodge in March!

“Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing. A perfect place to stay. Amazing wildlife. Will be back! Craig, Diane & Matthew.

Thank you for the welcome hamper – a lovely touch & much appreciated.”
