A lovely retreat away from it all

We had such a lovely stay here exploring Dorset and the New Forest and the chalet was a nice, quiet retreat to come back to at the end of the day! We'll be back to explore more I'm sure

It is nice chalet. My little family enjoyed our stay. Only the cooker and extractor fan need renew.

It was very nice holiday. We enjoyed it very much. Only the cooker and extractor fan not work properly and the electric meter is on £1 coins which goes very fast for just normal use.

A quiet week in a spacoius chalet after an unpleasant start

The limited space has been used well in the chalet, making it feel quite spacious. Right in front of the door is the swimming pool, which the children immediately wanted to use. Before settling in, it was necessary to clean first, as it was really too dirty to stay. This was very disappointing to us and we immediately reported it to the owner. The "camping" is a collection of chalets around an outdoor swimming pool. We had expected more families with children when we chose a camping during holiday time, but outside the weekend there was hardly anyone present. This allowed us to use the swimming pool privately, but we had been expecting more company for the children. Although there are beds for 6 people, there is room to eat with 4 people. After the unpleasant start, we had a nice, quiet week in the holiday home.

Superbes vacances

Nos enfants ont beaucoup apprécié la piscine. L'endroit est calme et les voisins très respectueux. La terrasse est spacieuse et orientée sud. Il y a un barbecue au gaz et quelques chaises supplémentaires pour inviter des amis à l'extérieur. La mer n'est pas très loin. On a passé des bons moments en famille.

No se informó que debía pagar la luz diariamente con una máquina que solo aceptaba monedas.

Una pena la puntuación pero es lo correcto. El lodge y el lugar donde se encuentra fenomenal pero el hecho de que tuviera que pagar la luz diariamente hace que no lo recomiende y no considero correcto que no venga la información en la web. Encima la máquina solo aceptaba monedas de 1 o 2 pounds, con el problema añadido que al ser festivos era muy complicado conseguir monedas. Ningún negocio abierto a menos de 4 km, sin coche y lloviendo. Teniendo en cuenta las bajas temperaturas y necesitaba calefacción, gasté cada día 6 libras y dos veces hubo que reponer monedas dado que de madrugada me quedaba sin luz.

A lovely quiet chalet

‘My Dream’ chalet was lovely, clean, spacious and in a very peaceful location. Swimming pool would have been lovely right outside the door, but not open for the time of year we were there. Disappointed with no WiFi even though it’s listed as being in place. Also missing from listing is the need for £1/£2 coins for electric meter (bit in 5 nights we only used £3 worth. ) It’s certainly a place I would stay again, and was perfect for touring the area.

Short Stay in the New Forest

Overall stay was very enjoyable and property was comfortable. Unfortunately a couple of things did slightly sour the stay. Firstly it clearly states that wi-fi is available but that is not the case. The other niggle was at no time prior to booking does it mention you need to pay for the Electric through a coin meter.. Both of these really should be mentioned prior to booking. Those points aside the property is in a lovely location and an ideal base for exploring the surrounding ares

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Francombe

Host profile image
John and I (Pauline) purchased the chalet last summer. We were out for the day not intending to buy. We live in Bristol but it has always been my dream to have a holiday home in the New Forest, and eventually retire to that area. We have spent many wonderful times in the New Forest recently and in the past when our boys were young. It is such a relaxing place to be and we always feel de-stressed when we are there. We had a few weekends down there in 2009 with friends. The site is small, quiet and in an excellent spot. We live and work in Bristol, so it is a great Bolt hole the peace and quiet is wonderful.

Why they chose this property

The area is so peaceful and beautiful. We are very close to Christchurch and surrounding beaches. It is a small and friendly site. We live is Bristol where the pace of life is very fast, going to the New Forest for a break is lovely and easy for us to get to, no motorway and it takes maximum of 2 hours. We work very hard while at home John runs a butchery department in a farm shop and I work for City of Bristol College. We just like peace and quiet with nice walks, good food and company while we are away.

What makes this property unique

Total peace and quiet.
We now have grandchildren, who just love the chalet as much as we do. My young grandson calls it the shadow, he could not pronounce chalet when tiny and the shadow has always stuck.
