Lovely property which we rented to use as the hub for a family wedding. Very spacious, modern and clean. Had a great stay overall but we did get bitten a lot by mosquitoes which was a shame as we had to keep the windows closed and it was hot weather but I think that’s due to location being near the New Forest. Water pressure was also really weak.
Our first impression was of delight, as the host left 2 boxes of cupcakes for us which was a very unexpected surprise and which we have never received in any other places we have stayed in. We were also provided with cleaning products, body wash etc, plenty of toilet roll, coffee pods etc. The bungalow was a little tired in places and needed a little tlc but this didn’t put us off. I would also suggest that instructions are provided for the coffee machine, oven and dishwasher. We would definitely stay again.
Well equipped property that makes a great base for exploring the New Forest and the Hampshire/Dorset coast. Large garden that the children enjoyed immensely. Good kitchen and dining area with plenty of space. Good double oven and induction hob. Plenty of fridge and freezer space. Bedrooms good size, more coat hangars needed. Both bathrooms have excellent showers but one toilets flush was not as good as the other (no mains drains) which necessitated several flushes sometimes.Mat by patio doors was very slippy and there were several minor decoration/ snagging/equipment details that if sorted would make this property 10/10 but otherwise it’s an 8/10 from us. Excellent communication from hosts and a couple of issues sorted quickly.

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the property, particularly the spacious garden, well-equipped kitchen and dining area, and that it provided a great base for exploring the New Forest and Hampshire/Dorset coast.
We’re also pleased that you found our communication excellent and that we were able to resolve the couple of issues quickly during your stay.
We’ll certainly look into the patio door mat and the toilet flush. As the property is not connected to mains drainage, we do ask guests to only flush toilet paper, as flushing anything else can unfortunately cause blockages in the tank. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Thank you as well for your other feedback. It’s really helpful to us and we’ll take your comments on board as we’re always looking for ways to improve the property and provide the best possible experience for our guests.
It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. 😊
Brilliant stay! The house is large enough for nine people and has a huge garden. It has all modern finishes and everything you could want for a friend or family vacation. The location does require a car, but it's an easy drive to the local beaches and activities.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the space, the garden, and all the modern touches. It's great to know the house worked well for your vacation. We agree a car makes exploring the nearby beaches and attractions much easier, and we're glad you found it convenient. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Willow cottage! The cottage is beautifully clean and feels very bright and fresh. A great location for both the New Forest and sea too!

Thank you Melissa what a wonderful review. You're welcome back anytime!
A lovely house in a good location for exploring the New Forest, and the communication from the hosts was excellent throughout. The garden turned out not to be enclosed, so not as child-friendly as we thought it would be. The back door mat was also incredibly slippery on the hard floor - again, not so good for children! There were also a number of basic maintenance issues that if kept on top of would have improved the feel of the stay.However, overall, a lovely stay!

Hi Ian, thanks for your excellent review. It was a pleasure hosting you. We agree that it's a great location on a quiet road. I'm so pleased to hear the whole family LOVED the cottage! Regarding the kitchen, this is first feedback we’ve had of that, and we will replenish the kitchen ASAP as seems some things may of gone ‘missing’ thank you for your understanding and we’d love to have you back!
The property was everything we hoped for. Beautifully clean and well equipped with everything you would need. The house is in a lovely lovely location close to some beautiful villages in the forest and not far from lovely beaches. Some delicious brownies left for us on arrival which was a really nice touch. We would definitely love to visit Willow Cottage again.

Thank you so much for staying with us, would love to have you back again.
We had a good stay at Willow Cottage. Location ideal for getting to the new forest towns however wished there were more nearby forest walks. The cottage was lovely and garden a huge plus for the kids. Could be more child friendly as the lounge rug was slippy, a radiator box unscrewed to wall. But we were happy with the amenities overall. check in and check out no issues.

Thanks so much for staying, we are so glad you enjoyed the place we agree it is in the ideal location. The garden being the ideal place for children to run as you’ve mentioned. The lounge rug we’ve never had this raised as an issue by multiple familiars over the year but will get an anti slip under it. The rad box was screwed on prior to your check in it seems a little person might of thought it was a climbing frame! 😄 anyway would be lovely to have you back again warmest
This was the perfect place for two families to meet up. You can’t walk anywhere from the house but there are loads of places to visit with a short drive. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms spacious and the house is very up together. The garden is perfect for kids running around but I get the sense that the neighbours have had a hard time with noise in the past - this is not the place for late nights and loud music. Not an issue for us at all.

We definitely try to maintain a peaceful environment for everyone, so we appreciate your understanding regarding the neighbors.

Such a shame that I have to leave a bad review. The cottage was fine and it was in a good location. We had a lovely time in the New Forest . However, I was overcharged and one month later I am still waiting to be reimbursed . I have called and emailed numerous times and have not had a response . So disappointed .

Hi Priya thanks for your message it's such a shame that you felt the need to leave a 2-star review over this (and our only 2 star review to date) which has nothing to do with the cottage and experience. For the sake of clarity your original messages went to spam, as soon as you left a voice message our team located the emails in junk and immediately paid the £165.00. In fact this has already been paid to you prior to this review date and time. On top of that we had planned to pay a £50 goodwill gesture on top of that today. We wish you the best but are disappointed in how you have portrayed this. Such shame. Also for the sake of other guests, the overcharge happened due to the many changes Priya kept making to her booking, (making two bookings/ changing the dates /wanting to add a date etc.) So this was a genuine oversight due to the confusion of the many changes.
