  • "Loverly log fire when it rained!"

    Very comfortable. Well equipped. Don’t get caught out at the local cooperative store. Prices high. We’re blue members of the cooperative and they wouldn’t accept membership prices . Had to be orange holders! So prices were exorbitant! Go to superstores if you can.

  • "Cannot fault the cleanliness of the cottage (more of a lodge than cottage)."

    We incorrectly interpreted the fact there was a pub 2 minutes walk away which we were looking forward to visiting in the evenings. The pub turned out to be not a PUB but a bar within the spa complex which did not offer PUB food. There are no actual pubs within comfortable walking distance from this property. There is a restaurant with a bar in Hook village which was about 20 minutes walk, but not something to do at night as there are no street lights or pavements. I do think this needs to be made clear. Two features that were slightly frustrating was a very stiff tap on the bathroom sink which made a dreadful noise when using it. Also, the WiFi (which I believe the main router was in the neighbouring cottage), dropped off and would not reconnect, but not wishing to disturb the neighbours in their accommodation, put up with it.

  • "We can’t fault the owner speedy response to our queries but Sykes had a terrible costumer services line and we couldn’t even speak to someone about our booking which was disrupted by riots across the U."

    K. The listing wasn’t accurate enough, we ended up bringing lots of stuff that we didn’t need and ended up being supplied in the cottage including hairdryer, hand wash and washing up liquid, sponge and kitchen towel. The internet was pretty bad too, although the owner responded quickly saying it will be fixed on the same day, we had terrible internet throughout our 4 days stay. The place was clean and quiet. It would have been great to have extra light sheets to use for covers as it was too hot to use the duvets. On the whole it was a pleasant stay.

  • "Exquisite holiday home."

    Clean, modern, comfy bed and bedding, soft towels and really well-equipped in the kitchen. Having known prior to arriving about the free access to the onsite gym, pool, tennis and squash was hugely appreciated during our stay due to all the rain we had over our 2 week stay. Located in between Southampton and Portsmouth the cottage was in an idyllic location that was very quiet. Only minor improvements would be to add to the already well- stocked utensils by adding a pizza cutter, an ice cream scoop and a whisk.

    It was very warm and we struggled to keep it cool, even turning the thermostat right down. We also found the hot water in the shower ran out quite quickly - there wasn’t enough for two showers in a row. Other than that we thought it was ideal. The honesty tuck box was a lovely touch! We didn’t use the gym but did use the pool. It’s fair to say it’s a little tired, but was fine for a few lengths and a quick sauna! Although there’s not much to do in the immediate vicinity, there’s quick access to Portsmouth, Southampton and the New Forest, as well as Bournemouth and Winchester a little further afield.
