The sofa could have been a little bigger to be even more comfortable.

Very nice accommodation, very easy to get around and really nice scenery.

The location was brilliant, walking distance from the centre of the small town of Downton - which was most convenient as it was the time of the busy Cuckoo Fair that is held every year on the Saturday before the early May Bank Holiday; it made a car parking space essential. Everything needed for a comfortable stay had been provided, in very clean and tidy manner. Who could wish for more? Family members who we arranged to meet there on Day 2 travelled from Dorset, Hampshire, and Somerset - all found us easily. All in all, it was a home from home - and I could easily have spent a week there!

I could have used soap and shampoo in the shower.

Excellent location. Walks to the New Forest and easy walk into Downton with its cafes, pubs and shops and excellent circular walk up the Avon Valley. The two-storey accommodation is compact but very comfortable and has full size kitchen with all facilities.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was clean and comfortable, we had everything we needed. The garden on the side is brilliant to relax in, very peaceful and quite and the village is lovely, recommend the Wooden Spoon for a great meal and a walk around the church. Having a designated parking place is great and easy to drive in and out of. My husband is 6ft 2in and had no problem with the stairs or the bedroom toilet ceiling, which does slope down. We will definitely be looking to return to stay here next time we are in the area. The host's are really lovely and helpful but not intrusive

The fact that we only stayed here for 4 nights!

Such a wonderful, cozy place! Felt right at home the moment we stepped inside. The location is lovely, indeed right on the edge of the New Forest, also close to many other interesting spots and sights to see. Very comfy bed. The kitchen was one of our favourite features.

Shower space can be bigger and the shower water power can be stronger. Other than that, all very good with this barn.

Very comfy little one-bedroom barn with modern design and facilities for our daily needs. Also, it’s in the same village as my mum-in-law and very closed for our daily visit, superb location that you could easily catch a bus or drive a rental car. Also easy to go on different routes of walk from the door step.

Nothing to be honest

Was clean and welcoming. Felt vey homely. Nice and warm on arrival as heating was set to be on. Local town was easy to reach on foot with a lovely local pub with friendly chatty locals. All equipment we needed was provided. Bed was very comfortable with lots of wardrobe space and drawers. Nice to have a space to park right outside off road

The good location, the surroundings, close to all kinds of sights, cities and nature. Bournemouth, Salisbury and Southampton nearby. And the beautiful new Forest.

A welcome pack would have been a nice gesture. Many other hosts do but fortunately we arrived prepared. It just a nice thought! The en-suite bathroom hot water tap did not work on arrival but it wasn’t a problem as there was plenty of hot water around the property.

It was the perfect location for us. The overall presentation of the property was very tasteful presented. Small but perfect, the accommodation was clean, fully equipped and private with our own garden, table and chairs to share a glass of something as the sun goes down.We were delighted with our stay and the facility. We would use this again.

Some pans are not compatible with the cooker meaning to boil an egg took 15 mins.

Exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was very private with its own garden and parking. With both a front and back door it was airy during a heatwave.. Excellent use has been made of a small space. Close to the bus stop we had a day trip to Salisbury without any parking concerns. The village is so pretty, with plenty of places to eat. Walking was easy, with footpaths close by.

the key lock had a known difficulty and we had to call upon the owner who struggled with it too. All the cutlery had to be washed as it was dirty. The pots provided appeared unsuitable for the induction hob. e.g. having put boiling water into a pan for pasta it did not reach boiling point after half and hour and we gave up. most importantly the accommodation is unsuitable for seniors or even heavy people; Taking a suitcase up the very narrow stairs did not feel safe and the shower is tiny. although we were there before the weather got really hot we found it unbearable in the bedroom. a faulty fan more suited to a desk had been provided but was useless. minor point; the garden view is of a fence and the terrace or patio was dirty, untidy and without a broom being provided stayed that way. The owner was the least welcoming in fact the place showed no signs of welcome. suffice to say we were and are very disappointed so much so that we left on Tuesday. If owners were to spend at least 3 or 4 days in their properties trying to live as usual to gauge suitability us renters may not have to waste our holiday time and money.

It was within half a mile of a useful supermarket, a good café and several pubs which we didn't use but had the usual menus.

Very well presented, tastefully decorated and equipped. Good car parking.

Having to leave.

Perfect location in a super village that had all the services that one could wish for. Great pubs/ restaurants, excellent walks, friendly residents and good access to so many places of interest within a very close radius. The New Forest is the crown.
