Very much enjoyed our...
By Alison Taylor on 03-Feb-2025Very much enjoyed our 3 night stay. Our Two little ones were comfortable in this little home away from home. Very clean, homely, well equipped and great location. Excellent clear, helpful & responsive communication. Easy to follow directions & check in/check out instructions. We visited Mudeford, Lymington (& enjoyed a boat trip), Avon beach & also some places in the new forest. Never travelling more than 40mins. Making this home a perfect base location to explore lots of places from. Then a lovely place to come home& relax with our family after a long day exploring. We even enjoyed the bbq and garden as the weather was very kind to us. Thank you very much and we would recommend to others

Lovely location, really comfortable...
By Bev Stovell on 11-Jan-2025Lovely location, really comfortable beds and sofas for relaxing. Well equipped kitchen and nice to have kitchen, diner and lounge all in one large room. Very responsive to a slight issue on check in, which was resolved efficiently. Loved the stream with the ducks at the bottom of the garden and the ability to walk to the pub or other places in Milford village within a few minutes. Thank you for a really pleasant stay.
