Wir hatten tolle 2 Wochen. Die Unterkunft ist zwar sehr ländlich gelegen aber mit Auto ist man in 15 Minuten in Romsey, wo große Supermärkte sind. In 30-40 Minuten Fahrzeit erreicht man schöne Städt, wie z.B. Salisbury und Winchester oder auch die Küste und den New Forest mit schönen Wanderwegen. Nach London kommt man ab Winchester sehr unkompliziert mit dem Zug (ca 60 min Fahrzeit). Der Pool ist zwar nicht mehr ganz neu (ein paar kleine Fliesen gehen ab) aber sauber und unsere Söhne und wir Eltern haben den Pool sehr genossen und auch die große Wiese und den Trampolin gerne genutzt. Der Check-in war sehr unkompliziert, der Schlüssel liegt im kleinen Tresor am Eingang. Die Gastgeberin, Helen, ist sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und nett und hat uns am ersten Tag mit frischen Eiern von den eigenen Hühnern versorgt. Außer Hühnern gibt es noch Katzen und eine nette Hündin, die einen schon mal besuchen. Unser Hund hat sich auch sehr wohl gefühlt und das große Grundstück und die schöne Umgebung mit vielen Wanderwegen genossen. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet inklusive großer Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach, sodass wir gut kochen konnten. Verschiedene Restaurants/Pubs sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt, danke Helen!

Spotless & well equipped property with swimming pool

This property was spotless and well equipped. It is a bit ‘off the beaten track’, but in a lovely location and within walking distance of an excellent village shop. There is another property adjoining this one. The provision of a swimming pool enhanced this property greatly. Although we only met the host, Helen, twice she was most pleasant and helpful. Would certainly recommend this accommodation if one is looking for peace and solitude and yet it is only about 5 miles from Romsey.

Little owls cottage

Beautifully well maintained cottage with all the right must haves in each area. We loved the swimming pool and the large area to roam around in. Perfect for long walks and dog owners. Helen and her family were so kind to us , we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend a week to relaxing in this cottage

Perfect cottage. Amazing stay

We had the most amazing week in the most perfect cottage. Helen was a fabulous host and everything had been thought of to deliver a wonderful stay in the New Forest. The location was just beautiful. I highly recommend the walk noted in the visitor pack. Stunning views across the valley. The cottage was very clean and very well presented. We had amazing weather so the pool, trampoline and outdoor facilities were ideal. 5 stars all round!

A great place to stay. It's clean and tidy with plenty of parking. A great place to take a break

We had a great break at little owls. It's clean and tidy. It has a great swimming pool and patio area which you could just spend all day on if you choose. There is plenty of parking outside your door. Little Owls is well equipped with everything you need.You are also close to a number of attractions in the area which are great for days out.

Had a wonderful week, lovely cottage.

We were made very welcome, by Helen & Inca. The cottage was just perfect. Quiet, peaceful & the pool was a huge bonus. Our little dog 'Eddie, enjoyed his stay & having the freedom to roam around. The little additions such as the flowers & fresh eggs were much appreciated. It really was like home from home & we would love to visit again. Thank you Helen for making it so enjoyable.

Schönes Cottage in ruhiger Lage

Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder 9/13) haben hier eine schöne Woche verbracht. Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet und sauber, hier kann man sich gut erholen. Die Lage ist ideal, wenn man das ruhige englische Landleben erleben möchte. Der Pool ist sehr schön und wurde von uns viel genutzt. Die Vermieter Helen und Tim sind sehr freundlich und standen immer für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Wir haben von hier aus verschiedene Ausflüge nach Stonehenge, Bath, Salisbury und Southampton gemacht. Wir würden immer wieder in dieses Haus kommen wenn wir in dieser Gegend Urlaub machen.

We had a fantastic time at Little Owls! Wonderful appartment, very well equipped kitchen, perfect for a family of four or two couples. We appreciated to swim in the heated pool next to the appartment. Trampoline, footballs, water toys - everything was already there. Starting with frech eggs from the farm's hens, we spent marvelous sunny days at Curlews Farm. Many thanks to Helen and Tim who are perfect hosts. Jutta & Martin
