We've just spent 4 nights in Sun Cottage and it was everything we'd hoped. Although small the cottage has everything you need, it's cozy and very comfortable, from the sofas to the beds. It's spotlessly clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the rain head shower in the bathroom is powerful and hot. Michael is a super host, communication was faultless and he gave clear and concise check in instructions, also details on how to work the TV which so many hosts fail to do. Although there is no onsite parking we managed to park right outside the front of the cottage every time we returned back.Lymington is a lovely town with lots to do and a buzzing Saturday market which is well worth the visit. Lots of good pubs serving quality food, we loved the local The Lion and Lamb, about 5 minutes walk from the cottage.We would love to visit again.

Using sat nav we were able to find the property easily and park on the road close to the front gate. The key was easily found in the coded key box. Inside facilities were excellent for two people. Nice clean kitchen bathroom and living room leading onto a secluded garden, ideal for our dog to use. Bedroom was comfortable but care had to be taken with the very steep stairs and low ceiling.The location in Pennington was good for local shops and the Lion and Lamb pub which does good food and on certain nights has folk music. Lymington itself was only a 10 minute walk away. Access to the New Forest was a short drive away. Would recommend this property for a short stay.

The property was very clean, cosy and comfortable and the safe, dog-friendly garden was beautiful. There were thoughtful and helpful welcome items, including milk and bottled water. The host communicated details well before our arrival and the location of the cottage is convenient for exploring the New Forest.

Thank you for your review. I feel I have to clarify that we furnish and decorate the cottage in keeping with its 150 year old age.Our aim has always been to provide a homely confortable feel for our guests not just a basic holiday let. There are no personal belongings left in the cottage and every ornament,picture etc is placed there to obtain the right atmosphere.The cottage is as the photos and escription show on web site. A disappointing 3 star first time ever
