A great local pub and fantastic cornershop also came in very handy. The pictures of the property on the website don't do it justice. The garden and house were much bigger than expected.

We had a dog with us and apart from all the great beaches and the forest there is a park around the corner from the house, which is really handy for early morning or last minute walkies. ##### Henry F.

It had everything we needed and was beautifully clean. A welcome basket of bread coffee tea and milk greeted us. Beds were comfy, with spare throws in cupboards for chilly evenings. The garden was secure and pleasant. The location was great for visiting the beautiful walks of the New Forest and the pub within walking distance was a great bonus. Probably the only one minor downside was check out was at 10 am which for a Sunday meant an early rise to strip all beds, empty rubbish and get breakfast and clean away after, however a small price to pay for a very enjoyable stay ##### Amanda P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graham T. Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful cottage but....... On arrival we found the most beautiful cottage setting in lovely gardens which we found were superb. Interior was lovely and homely. First night was very disappointing 15 tog duvet all round far too hot Got in touch with owners regarding summer duvet but they did not respond to direct message until late in the evening via VRBO saying no, so had to purchase our own. Only one bedside table which was inconvenient. Staying for a week so did a full shop to eat in, unfortunately no cupboard to store groceries so items had to be stored over limited worktop space. Washing machine and dishwasher on together left a nasty stagnant smell from drain in conservatory. Filter in tumble dryer was filthy and needed a thorough clean. Fridge door had mould on outside seal, and we feel that the whole place needed a more thorough clean. On the day of leaving we received a message from the owner informing us that they will be arriving between 9.00-9.30am to cut the grass, we said no because of the dog in the back garden. This we found very annoying as any work should be done after our 10.00am checkout. Overall a lovely holiday was had by all, in the New Forest but will not return to April Cottage and would not recommend. ##### Graham T.
