  • "We felt the property was disappointing given it was a premium rent."

    The kitchen was well equipped and laid out and probably the highlight of the property. There was a tired air in regards to maintenance and a lack of attention to detail. The property folder needs to have a list of what switches are what on them main light switch panel as bizarrely the back garden light is switched by the front door. The main bedroom is large with good storage but needs some mirrors. There was a problem with the property not being prepared for us on arrival but Selina the housekeeper was quick to put this right when we contacted her. She also very quickly managed a small maintenance problem during our stay. We feel that with more thought and attention to detail like upgrading the uncomfortable and worn out sofas for example and having easy to open bi fold doors it would greatly improve the comfort of the property. Not being able to adjust the heating is just plain silly. Without these issues being resolved it does not justify the premium rent. The location was perfect for getting around the New Forest and the surrounding area. The Fighting Cocks was very good and the New Pastures butchers is well worth visiting. Overall a well designed property (apart from bi-fold doors with carpets) but does not achieve its potential due a lack of attention to detail. We did raise some concerns with Sykes during the holiday but were given a brush off response from the owners which sums things up.

Where you’ll be staying

FORDINGBRIDGE

Salisbury 11 miles; Bournemouth 18 miles.

Fordingbridge is a traditional Hampshire town on the banks of the River Avon, and offers a good mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, a small museum of local history and a display of original work by the artist Augustus John, who lived here for many years. The medieval Great Bridge, with seven graceful arches, is a major feature of the town. The immediate area is a wonderful place for visitors, with its beautiful scenery, nature havens, cycleways and welcoming people. Fordingbridge is conveniently situated for the magnificent cathedral city of Salisbury to the north, and the super seaside resort of Bournemouth to the south. The stunning New Forest National Park is only 1.5 miles from the town, where you can explore thousands of acres of moor, heath and woodland frequented by wild ponies, and dotted with quaint villages and country pubs. Within a short drive is the magnificent Elizabethan manor house at Breamore, as well as the New Forest Water Park, and a trip to Beaulieu, home of the National Motor Museum is not to be missed. This is a great location for exploring this picturesque and interesting area.
