Excellent accommodation, rural location but only just over 5 minutes away from the M27motorway.

We loved the property and will definitely return in the near future. Sitting on the balcony overlooking green fields in the sun is an excellent place to relax and refresh.

Excellent property, comfortable and extremely stylish, well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The hosts were lovely and helpful. It was delightful to be able to enjoy a drink and dinner on the south facing balcony with views over the countryside. It was under a 10 minute drive to the nearest grocery shop in one direction and about a 15 minute drive in the other to a large shopping complex at Hedge End with shops for every need. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it as a lovely couples retreat.

A perfect quiet retreat

The annexe provides a perfect accommodation for 1 or 2 guests. Everything is new and of good quality, from the shower to very comfortable bed. We particularly enjoyed breakfast on the balcony looking across the countryside. The location is very quiet which makes for a restful stay and a good nights sleep. Recommended!

Fabulous Peaceful English Oasis

We loved everything about staying here. The hosts were lovely, and the location was great. We were close to shopping and supermarkets, sightseeing, English pubs and right in the peaceful English countryside. The accommodation itself was lovely, very tastefully appointed with a super comfortable bed. It was perfect. Thank you so much.

Hampshire Holiday

An excellent property for a couple or two friends to use as a base to see Hampshire. There was everything we needed for our stay including a very comfortable bed and a balcony that allowed us to relax in the sun. We would highly recommend the Annex and next time we are in the area would stay again. Thank you for the tasty biscuits, tea, coffee and milk that we enjoyed on our arrival.

A place in the country

For us the property was fantastic, beautifully clean, equipped and very modern. In all of our travels never had such a comfy bed, one tip, bring a nightlight because it’s really dark at night. The local pubs do fabulous food and some good ales. Our hosts were so helpful, nothing too much trouble, get your booking in you won’t regret it.

Peaceful

Spotlessly clean and comfortable in a lovely countryside spot with a nice south facing balcony. The only negative was the underfloor heating didn’t work very well on the cold days.

Life in the country

New, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Within easy walking distance of two pubs.- (lovely meals) Not however, convenient for general shopping, or surprisingly for country walks - we tried two signposted walking tracks, both took us to houses!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the accommodation and local pubs. There is a Sainsburys supermarket in Bishops Waltham, approx 45 minutes walk across the fields or a 7/8 minute drive and lovely country walks from the accommodation. We will add a few more walks to choose from in our Guest Information Book printed in the accommodation.

Goede plek op het platteland

We hebben een fijne tijd gehad in dit appartement. Alles was in de puntjes goed verzorgd. Faciliteiten zoals pub en winkels in de buurt. Ook naar de kust en steden als Portsmouth en Southampton zijn goed te doen en binnen een uur bereikbaar

Better than the pictures

Really lovely property, modern decor, clean and nicely done up. Hosts welcomed us and provided recommendations for food, cycling and paddleboarding. Pubs within walking/cycling distance (even more 5-10mins drive) with great food and really easy to explore Lulworth cove, durdle door, new forest and surrounding areas. Apartment was cosy and balcony was a great touch. Thanks for a lovely few days.
