A lovely house which made for a great family celebration for a couple of big birthdays. Plenty of space and well equipped for all age groups and a wheelchair user. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear the house was the perfect setting for your family celebrations and that it worked well for guests of all ages, including a wheelchair user. We’d be honoured to welcome you back anytime for another special occasion.
A lovely spacious property with great amenities for our Christmas family gathering. Communication was excellent and the house was sparkling clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi Marion, thanks so much for staying with us and you enjoyed your christmas stay with us. Looking forward to your next visit.
Great property, plenty of space for 12 people, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds.
The only downside unfortunately was that we were very conscious of making to much noise, so felt that we had to close all doors and windows by 8pm!
but we would highly recommend the property and would go back
The location was great, gorgeous options for places to go no matter which direction you went. There was so much space in the house we never felt on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with a huge fridge and freezer which was perfect for catering for all those staying. The garden is fabulous and really caught the sun in the afternoon

thanks so much for the review we would love to have you back.
Myself and all the girls had a wonderful time, we could not fault the property at all. Communication with the host was easy and the house was just stunning and homely. We all had a great time and a great experience. I’ve already been talking to friends about making another stay :-)

Hi Terry there is no curfew we just ask that guests are respectful of neighbours after 8pm we had some complaints which is rare so raised it sorry you did not appreciate this.
Our family gathered at the property to celebrate a 70th birthday, there were twelve of us including two babies and we had a fantastic time, the property was well equipped and everything went very smoothly. I would recommend this property to friends.

Thanks so much Susan for the kind review we would love to have you back again!
We were very happy with the property. Everything was just as had been advertised. We felt very comfortable, it was very much a home from home. I would recommend families or groups of friends to stay there.

thanks very much Linda we would love to have you back in the near future
A lovely property, great for a big group and good facilities and location. Excellent communication and help from the owners and housekeeper, Sharon. My only quibble was that it was not as accessible as I had thought - just one side ramp into the house, but no ramp out to the back garden for my Aunt, who is in a wheelchair. Quite low toilet seat too. Might be worth fixing that to make it fully accessible. But thanks for a great stay, Julie.

Lovely location in a super property
Lovely stay at Lancot chalet - it was well needed after the long lock down.
The property is lovely - a great location with easy access to all the top destinations in the New Forest.
Well equipped; spacious and warm with well sized rooms in a modern, simply decorated layout.
Very few criticisms and I am being picky, however we all felt the property could do with a good deep clean - which we were surprised about given the length of period it has been unoccupied. There were no tea towels and (all) pillows were uncomfortable. It would be worth the owner spending a little bit of cash to improve these item.
Many thanks

Hi Francis thanks very much for your review. We are glad you had a good stay. Interesting re the clean element and a first for us as our team are doing deep covid cleans between guests. Our amazing housekeeper has never had any issues raised re cleanliness and was really surprised by your comments and we are both sure what areas you are referring to so may give you a call to clarify. Please in future do communicate any issues when you are in the property our housekeeper is amazing and is very responsive and could have been at your door with tea towels and new pillows at pity this was mentioned post check out. Thanks again and best wishes
The garden furniture could of been set up and cleaned ! It was filthy
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2020
Hello Michelle thanks for your comments on this, the weather at the time of your arrival meant that the team could not clean that area. However in future our highly responsive team would have come out at a drop of a hat to clean it. Really sad you are only mentioning this now. Anyways all the best and thanks for your valued feedback
The house is spacious and very well equipped. Our grandchildren were delighted with the toys and the set up in the large bedroom. They commandeered it and felt at home immediately. We had a fabulous time going to the New Forest, nearby beaches and attaractions. Tesco superstore is within 10 minutes drive and other smaller stores within 5 minutes.
We were a bit unlucky with the weather and so had to spend quite a lot of time indoors which we did not mind as the facilities were so good.
Claire and her team were very quick to respond to to our queries and had also organised surprise presents for my wife and I for our birthdays (much appreciated)!
We will definitely stay here again and will also recommend it to our family and friends.

This is a fantastic property in the New Forest, perfect for large groups and great for children. It has everything you could possibly need and the hosts are very responsive to questions and do everything to guarantee a wonderful stay. We will definitely return!
We loved the kitchen garden area... it was perfect for our family get together. The location was great in what felt like the heart of the New Forest. Great local farm shops nearby. The space worked really well for us. Thanks

About the host
Hosted by Claire Wildly New Forest
Hey, I'm Tara, I live in the beautiful new forest and have the pleasure of renting to wonderful people like you! My team and I do our best to ensure our guests have a wonderful stay and many come back every year.
Why they chose this property
The property was renovated a few years back, we did our best to optimize the light throughout and we think we've achieved that, we have one big family room which allows a family size of 4-6 to stay in it and we have recently kitted it out with toys for young children
What makes this property unique
Close to the Forest and the Ocean this property is the perfect base, you can't really go wrong with it, whether you are a family, friends, couples or celebrating a big birthday!
