    “The garden was in need of upkeep & we couldn't get the AGA to work even though the owner sent a video.”

    The downstairs shower was nice but it was impossible to keep the floor dry. However we enjoyed our stay but didn't realise how close it was to such a busy road so parking was a real issue.

    Firstly I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. It’s ashame their were a few issues noted, we do always reach out to guests before arrival and are available through out the stay if their are any issues. The garden has been tricky this year due to the weather it is pretty much the same as the photos, we cut the shrubs back twice per year and the grass is cut regularly although the weather has been as issue on odd occasions this year. The AGA is an old fashioned 1974 AGA fully service annually, we don’t leave this on as it costs a lot to run and isn’t environmentally friendly. It’s not for everyone, hence why we installed a Bosch electric oven and have a plug in elect hob, microwave grill, electric slow cooker and steamer all installed in the cottage incase people struggle with the AGA it can take a couple of attempts to get going but it works fine you just need appreciate this not a modern cooker and most AGA don’t start first time every time. The shower was upgraded 12 months ago when we replaced the boiler, it’s a power shower possibly a bit too powerful hence it does cause a bit of spray onto the tiled floor at times, there are extra bath towels in this room and we don’t often get complaints as the shower is an addition not shown in the property spec, most appreciate the upgraded room. Their is parking for three large cars on the drive plus a large pub car park just across the road at the SWAN. If you speak with the pub they are normally fine with you parking there we can speak to them directly if guest need an extra space. There are also 10% discount vouchers for the pub food and drink in the cottage for guests to use. Property Owner

About the location

LYNDHURST

Southampton 9.4 miles; Milford-on-Sea 12 miles; Christchurch 14.9 miles.

Enjoying a rich royal history is the village of Lyndhurst, known as the capital of the New Forest National Park, frequently visited throughout the centuries by kings and queens thanks to it being established as a royal hunting ground by William the Conqueror. Home to quaint Tudor style buildings and a scattering of welcoming pubs and local shops and boutiques, this lovely settlement has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful stay in Hampshire. One of the village's famous residents is Alice Pleasance Liddell, the inspiration behind Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', resting in the graveyard of St Michael and All Angels' Church. Walk up to Bolton's Bench, an elevated spot to perch at and take in the views of the landscape, before visiting the New Forest Heritage Centre offering a history into this spectacular national park with interactive exhibits and exhibitions. Walkers can delight in a great choice of walking routes, start out by exploring the area with a circular walk around Lyndhurst, whilst cyclists can embark on a tour of the park on popular routes like Lyndhurst to Brockenhurst, or over to Hatchet Pond, with bikes available to hire from The Woods Cyclery. Stay in Lyndhurst for a rural retreat in Hampshire.

Please note: The minimum duration of stay is 4 nights.
