Lovely cosy cottage, great for exploring the local area and further afield. The Jurassic coast and New Forrest are minutes away and beautiful in winter. This property is a nice little bolt hole and there are others in the complex if travelling with others.

Initial impressions are WOW however sadly this did not last. Hot tub leaked making it unusable-3 attempts to fix before ordering a part on day 4 of holiday. Dishwasher is installed incorrectly causing injury-owner already aware but "hadn't got round to replacing" Everything above eye level covered in dust, bedroom light covered in cobwebs.

Super cottage - ticked all the boxes. There is a constant traffic flow on passing road, especially during the 'going to work time'. Should this be mentioned in details of the cottage?

We loved this cottage. Good location for driving down to the coast. Pig cottage was well equipped. Bed and furnishings were very comfy. Wood burning hot tub takes some work but was worth the wait.
