"This is a place that I and my family would return to and recommend to others."
The owners have set it up as a home from home, there is pretty much everything that you will need provided for your stay. The location is ideally located to discover both sides of the Solent. The hosts are very approachable and happy to help with any questions. We managed to wear out our two spaniels while walking in the local area.
Hi Ivan Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and your dogs were acquainted with the local area! Hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner

"Thank you Nora and Martin for having the house so homely."
We had everything we needed, it had every little detail. It's a great location, Mollie, the horse said hello every morning :) I greatly enjoyed having a coffee in the mornings looking at the cows and the stunning views. Nora was amazing, she even got a hat for my daughter on our last day. She loved wearing it at Windsor Castle on our way back home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes nature and comfort.
Thank you so much for your super review.. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and your daughter loved her hat! Nature and Comfort is what it's all about! Property Owner

"Nora and Martin had thought of everything."
The house was immaculate comfortable and extremely well equipped. The welcome pack thoughtful and imaginative right down to cake and birthday napkins (for my husband’s birthday). Everything was new and well thought about. The view from the house was lovely. We spent most meals outside and the only rainy day we spent in Salisbury cathedral. We loved the walks locally and enjoyed drinks and food in the Goat in Downton. We would definitely like to come back.
Thank you for your super feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed The Old Byre and surrounding area. See you again soon! Property Owner

"What a beautiful place to stay!"
Packed full of thoughtful touches, Nora and Martin have stopped at nothing to make our holiday and stay at the Old Byre a truly memorable experience. The Old Byre was ‘home from home’ only better, everything that would make our stay comfortable and enjoyable has been thought about from the most delightful decor, the most comfortable beds, all home comforts as well as essentials, all cooking equipment and kitchen appliances and a helpful welcome basket of goodies to get you started with your first cup of tea taking in the beautiful country garden and surrounding views. The area is a perfect location with limitless places to visit within easy reach including the New Forest on your doorstep and the Jurassic coast with stunning beaches and fun days out like Longleat Safari. Whether you want family days out, full on adventure sports or quite walks and country pubs this location will suit any visitor. We would highly recommend a visit to the Old Byre, be prepared to stay longer than you planned as you won’t want to go home. Thank you Nora and Martin.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so happy to share The Old Byre with you and it's beautiful location. Property Owner
