Lovely family holiday at April Cottage
We had a lovely family holiday at April Cottage. We couldn’t have wanted more - a wonderful house, pool and hot tub. It was well equipped for 8 people and very comfortable. The communications with the owners was easy and they were very responsive. I would definitely stay again.

Family Break
Four bedrooms, five bathrooms. Secure, enclosed garden. Made for a fantastic venue for our family gathering with dogs. It would have been nice to have been forewarned about the proximity of the petrol station. Some bedroom doors could do with adjusting so they could be closed. We were very grateful for the delivery of a table top cooker when we had issues with the range cooker. We would happily go back.

Excellent stay at April Cottage
I rented April cottage for a long weekend in November to celebrate my wife's 65th birthday. Communications with the owner, Julia, were excellent with very fast responses. The house easily accommodated 7 adults and a 2 year old. It is in a very good standard of decoration. We did have a technical issue while we were there and the owners responded immediately to address the problem. Excellent focus on customer service. Beds are comfortable though because of low ceilings on the 1st floor had to use GF showers as couldn't stand up in our bath. That was a minor inconvenience. The cottage is next to a petrol station (not 24 hrs) on a roundabout - there was no issue of noise and it was very handy to get provisions. The only thing to watch out for are the low beams and door openings - one doorway in particular needed careful attention. Overall an excellent experience and recommended.

A very comfortable house with all the facilities we could have wished for, in a great area.
Plenty of space for families; enough bathrooms - so important especially with teenagers! The pool was a great asset. Modernised to a high standard. The local area was perfect for our needs with lots to do and places to go out and eat.

Relaxing Stay
A beautiful property in a great location. 10 mins drive to wonderful beaches and walks. Equally easy to access the New Forest. A couple of shops in the village and 5 mins drive to Tesco. A childrens playground over the road and even an outdoor gym in the playing fields. The pool was great to cool down in the nice weather and just right for our 6 year old. Our hosts were great. Available if needed and happy to address any questions or problems.
