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.

Fantastic place for our family get together. Great location on the edge of New Forest, 10 minutes from the sea at Milford, and 5 minutes from big supermarkets in New Milford.The cottage is over 300 years old, so expect low beams and latch doors, but 4 double bedrooms all with en suite were very comfy. We found the ground floor cosy but still big enough to spread out, and with the 2 doors out to the garden the kids just loved indoor/outdoor living, with plenty of space for them to run around outside.The kitchen was great for us as we could all fit round the table but 8 large adults cooking a Sunday lunch might find it bit busy (but there's great pubs in the vicinity, so not sure thats a problem....).And then there is the pool, which is heated enough to be fine for our little ones, but who all fairly soon wanted to warm up in the hot tub, which was just perfect, especially for us adults.The owners were really helpful (not that we needed much help).Overall we had the best time, and would definitely return again.

Amazing Mini Break!

I booked a mini break for myself and 4 adult children, staying for 3 nights. I have to say April Cottage is a stunning property in a great location. The property is well maintained, clean and has everything you need, a real home from home. It is a real country cottage with oak beams and low ceilings and doorways, which are all clearly marked, just remember to duck! The pool and hot tub were fantastic, they were in use daily, there were even a variety of inflatables which we could use. The garden is great and private, not overlooked at all. I cannot fault the communication with Julia & James, they were excellent with everything. The check in/check out process was easy. The cottage is next door to a petrol station which we didn’t find an issue, if anything it was helpful for groceries and also as a landmark for when we ventured out.Overall an exceptional experience and we most definitely will be booking April Cottage again.Worth every single penny

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.

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.

Wonderful Base for Exploring the Area

Lovely house, extremely well appointed and in a nice quiet area. Don't worry about the petrol station next door it didn't disturb us at all! Hot tub was a pleasant bonus too. 10/10 would stay again.

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.

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.

New Forest break

We had a very good break with the grandchildren. Lots to do nearby for teens plus some great walks for the dog. So good to actually have enough bathrooms!
