  Lovely warm comfortable property which ticked lots of boxes.

  Not many places have all of the following... Space, comfort, cosiness, very good woodburner with logs supplied, great rural location, peaceful, private, fully enclosed dog proof garden, well equipped, dishwasher and washing machine, games room, extra large comfortable bed, great shower, amazing deep luxurious bath and a delicious homemade cake.. the list goes on. We had a couple of small hiccups which Cathy attended to fully and immediately. For us two things made it a 9 out of 10.We hate TV's on the wall and this one is particularly high up and very uncomfortable to watch. We like to watch a film in these dark evenings and it was difficult to get comfortable (we are 70 & 71) so maybe its an age thing. Also the Wifi wasn't very efficient during our week which may effect your stay. If you are going this time if year two things to be aware if are that in the dark its not that clear where it is from the directions(obvious in daylight). Drive on past the white barred gate and not through it like we did! Also you cannot park close to the property to unpack and have to take your things up in a wheeled trolley in the dark (so take a torch). Although this was a little annoying this soon passed on entering Russet and seeing how lovely it was. (TV aside) We had a very relaxing comfortable week and Cathy was lovely would definitely recommend.

  The property was in dire need of a facelift. Plus the fixtures and fitttings were below our usual expectations. The main problem were the beds. Extremely old and totally uncomfortable. I tried to sleep on the sofa one night but it was too short being only a 2 seater. We slept on top of 2 eiderdowns in our own sleeping bags and still found the bed hard and lumpy. The mattress was thin and springs could be felt inside and the base was as old as the arc. Overall I couldn't wait to get home for a decent nights sleep. The tv in the property is small and old with a poor quality picture and poor sound quality. The wifi, on the other hand, was good. We loved Brighton but would not stay in the same property and would not recommend it to anyone. We have used ypur company before when we stayed in Saundersfoot. That property was great. However we feel we have been let down with this current rental plus it was nearly double the price of Saundersfoot. This means, by default, that we would hesitate to use your company again as we assume that you would vet all properties you advertise for rental. This particular property is well below standard. Finally, the cooker extractor fan needs to be replaced. It smells, is rusty and is obviously well past its sell by date. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you have asked for honest feedback.

  I had lovely stay as did my little elderly dog Rufus.

  In a beautiful very friendly village. The 'barn' had everything we needed. If anything the underfloor heating was a bit his and miss, couldn't use the controls so I had to rely on the log burner as it was freezing outside. I got through all the remaining wood during my stay to keep warm. Apart from that, we took a trip down to Bournemouth on a lovely if crisp sunny day, about 35 min drive and a walk on the beach. A 15 min drive to the New Forest and a 2 min walk to the village shop, which is open twice a day 9-10.30am and 4.30-6pm Mon-Fri and Sat morning only. About a 5min drive to Fordingbridge. For dog owners there is a lovely walk through the church grounds and through the neighbouring fields. I did get a supermarket delivery but give directions for the driver as the post code includes all the properties around that area. For anyone who likes military aviation you may get to see Apache helicopters fly overhead from Middle Wallop army base near Andover.

  Our second visit here, great location for buses, supermarket, cafe, marina, beach. Lovely place, garden front patio area catches the sun in the morning. We had to come back to do and see things we didn't have time for before. Car boot Sunday morning at the Marina, Snoopy's and the North Road market area on Saturday,and the Flea Market in Kemptown. Buskers at the Brighton Music Hall on the seafront, hot fish rolls. Will need to come back - still haven't done the crazy golf!

  We found the location perfect for us - in a very quiet secluded spot quite close to the seafront and about a mile and a half away from the town. The allocated parking space in a gated secure area behind the house was great. The place was very clean and mostly very comfortable. For the price paid it is good value. We knocked off some points for as follows. Some of the information at the property does differ a little from the instructions recieved. The info at the property also differs from what actually is in place regarding keys. The heating control screen wasn't working when we looked when the heating was supposed to come on. The double bed mattress was uncomfortable. Otherwise we really enjoyed the stay and would rebook with the company.
