"This is a delightful little property - ideal for 1 or 2 people."
It's well equipped - inter alia there's a hair dryer, a cafetiere and corkscrew (other property owners please note!) It's an easy drive to Romsey, Winchester, Salisbury and Lymington - and it's very very close to Mottisfont (a delightful NT property).

"A beautifully presented cosy spot."

"Excellent accommodation and location"
-
"The Roost is a great place to stay and unwind on holiday."
The accommodation / facilities are, well thought out, cared for, very clean and comfortable. The location is well placed for a good variety of days out and a lovely retreat to come home to. We felt at ease and welcome as soon as we dropped our bags and refreshed, when we sadly had to leave. We would highly recommend.
-
"This property was a great find."
The layout of the property is very clever and comfortable. The owners are welcoming and hospitable, allowing use of their garden if you wish to. The property is well situated for visiting a wealth of interesting places that are within easy distance. The Roost has trees at the rear which makes you feel that you are in a well equipped treehouse for grownups.

"Nice place to stay owners very nice and helpful"
-
"We were very happy with the accommodation."
quite small but plenty of room for two and everything one needs for a few days away
-
"A small but beautiful property, cosy and light, great for one or two people."
Lovely situation backing onto woodland, great for bird watching. Surrounded by pretty villages but conveniently close to major roads and the M27. Just two small points, a larger TV would be better as the current one is quite small, also the bedroom would benefit from a door to make it more cosy at night. Space is a premium but a sliding door would fit.
-
"A wonderful stay at this lovely and comfortable property."
It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The surrounding area is so quiet and peaceful with plenty of things to do. I am so sorry we had to cut short our stay due to Duncan’s work commitments but next time we are down to visit relatives we would love to stay again. Thanks again for the welcome pack, it was most appreciated.
-
"Fantastic property in a beautiful location."
It was small but very well planned and fully equipped with good quality items and appliances. Spotlessly clean, quiet, peaceful and very comfortable. There’s plenty to see and do in the area - we went to Salisbury, Romsey, Marwell Zoo, Mottisfont, Florence Nightingales Grave, the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and the wonderful Weald and Downland Living Museum near Chichester. A perfect break for two people - and thank you for the wine and biscuits!
-
"Very comfortable stay, felt very much at home."

"Well equipped property with a good location for fly fishing and visiting attractions, and nearby towns."

"The outside stairs to The Roost are quite steep but we knew that when we booked it."
The property itself is cosy and perfect for a week's holiday exploring the locality. We had mixed weather during our stay but this did not prevent us from going places. I would recommend this property to others.
-
"Lovely break, clean, and it ticked all the boxes for our requirements."
unfortunately not good weather but to be expected late October, but "the roost" was an ideal hideaway! thank you to our hosts and for the extra bottle of wine and biscuits, a nice touch. janet and robin

"Our host was there to greet us and check in was easy."
A welcome bottle of wine and some biscuits were provided for us. The well equipped, very clean cottage was in a quiet, peaceful location and was ideal for lots of lovely walks. It was also easy to visit Salisbury for the day.

We will definitely be returning, thank you for a perfect stay

"Although seemingly in the middle of the countryside, it was so easy to access all our activities such as golf, walking, cycling, National Trust visits also various eateries."
Our hosts were both friendly and very helpful. The garden was peaceful and relaxing, and the accommodation was clean, comfortable and functioned well ( wooden steps up might be challenging to some). Very enjoyable in this lovely part of England.
-
"A charming little snug ideally located between Winchester and Salisbury so a great base, lots of national trust in the area and walking."
The roost was a nice size for two definitely not small, very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean .
-
"Our host was very pleasant and helpful but not intrusive."
Our stay was short (I week) but we would book again.
-
"We felt the pictures on your web site did not do it justice."
It was larger than it looked on the site. We where completely satisfied with the Roost.
-
"The Roost was very welcoming in as much as it was clean, comfortable and in a gorgeous, quiet location."
A bottle of wine and box of cookies was left for us which was a nice touch. It was compact and cosy but we did not have an issue with the size although I could see that others had commented on the fact that there was only one small sofa. This did not bother us. On the second and third morning, unfortunately there was no hot water in the shower. I am sure that if we had contacted the owner he would have resolved the problem. But the days were hot and we chose to have cold showers instead! But we did leave a note for him before we left so that he would be aware before the next guests. There were many great day trips in the area and all in all, we had a fantastic time.
-
"We had a great time in the roost."
Very nice owners! They were very aproachable and kind. The surroundings were very nice and beautiful.
-
"The Roost was very comfortable, quiet and relaxing."
Steve was very friendly and helpful and the welcoming gift of wine and biscuits were a nice touch. Would recommend for anyone looking for peaceful surroundings and a handy position for visiting the New Forest and the Hampshire coast.
-
"A wonderful country location with easy access to the New Forest and tourists favourite towns and villages."
All the sounds of the countryside, birds, sheep, pheasants, to greet you in the morning and beautiful wooded views, which we loved. An ideal position for visiting all the county attractions, most within a 40 minute drive away. The cottage was spotlessly clean with all facilities to make it home for the week. Everything worked fine and we found the shower was a very refreshing experience in the mornings. Although, you do have to ask the owners for use of the washing machine and iron/ironing board, which probably not an issue in nice weather. But if you are out all day, you`ll have to time or arrange this to suit I guess. We met the owners briefly and were very accommodating nonetheless. The cottage is compact, an ideal refuge for the evenings but we felt it needed a dining table otherwise it was eating on the sofa, which is small to be fair. But bearing in mind the price point of the cottage and floor space, it is good value and that is why the aforementioned is absent. The cottage is open plan with no door between bedroom and kitchen diner to separate them. Not a big issue, especially if used as a base but just observations through our previous cottaging preferences. Overall, it did not distract from our holiday experience and had a wonderful week in the New Forest.

"Comfortable, cosy and well equipped."
Perfect.

"The holiday was really good."
The accommodation was exactly as described. It was meticulously cleaned and very well presented. The owners were charming and helpful. The area is beautiful and we intend to return
-
"Excellent self-contained flat, just a shame it only has a very small two seater settee."
Another comfy chair would make all the difference.
-
"A lovely cottage perfect for a couple."
Steve and Paula were perfect hosts friendly but not intrusive and allowed us use of their wonderful garden . There is so much to see in the surrounding area we will be back. It was a wonderful way for my husband to celebrate his 50th.
-
"A lovely retreat and the owners made us feel most welcome."
This was our second visit
-
"The Roost is a very good cottage to stay in for many reasons."
The situation is lovely, with access to the owners' beautiful garden. It is close to Romsey and a bit further to Salisbury and Winchester. We found all we needed in the Roost. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was large with plenty of hot water on demand. The furnishings were of a high quality and the whole cottage was of a high standard. The owners were welcoming and helpful and we found a bottle of wine and packet of biscuits on arrival, a very nice touch. We would definitely recommend The Roost and hope to return in the future.
-
"This cottage was within easy reach of lots of places to visit we went to many areas we had not seen before ."
We had every thing we needed.
-
"The cottage was lovely, the owner very friendly."
Two points for improvement. One is a couch that is too deep and not wide enough for two persons. A bigger couch and an extra comfortable chair is definitely needed in an other wise excellent cottage. The other point is, there are no cleaning utilities. No broom, vacuum cleaner, dustpan and brush, absolutely nothing. We felt bad having to leave without being able to clean the floor. ***owner response**** There are cleaning products and a dustpan and brush within the property. There is not a space for a broom or vacuum cleaner as we have no expectations of our outgoing guests to clean the property prior to leaving. Our cleaner comes in on each changeover day to ensure that the property is thoroughly cleaned for our next Holidaymaker. Thank you for your feedback on the sofa, we are looking to change this to a 3 seater moving forward
