We had a lovely family Xmas break. Steven and Timo were great hosts and v accommodating to our requests. The cottage was decorated so beautifully for Xmas with log fires burning on arrival. The facilities were ideal for a large group. We all thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and surrounding walks.
We loved the cosy warmth of the wood burner on arrival. The open plan sitting & dining area was spacious enough to easily accommodate our party of 14 plus dogs. The hot tub was a big success as was having such easy access to the forest. A great weekend!
Lovely property with some great outdoor space. The hot tub was fantastic. Very good communication with the owners, and our group had a super weekend. The one negative was the close proximity of the house to a busy main road, which is mostly blocked out with the windows and doors closed. All in all though highly recommended.
The property was lovely and spacious with lots of outdoor seating in the interesting gardens. The nearby management promptly dealt with our minor questions. My only minor criticism is that the main road (a31) is nearby and can be busy.The nearby woods are great for largely flat walks. Might take bikes next time.
The property is beautiful inside and out. They had everything needed onsite and went above and beyond- i.e coal, firewood, laundry and dishwasher tablets included. Highly recommend the Italian Chef - food was incredible. Host and chefs were so welcoming, friendly and very helpful.
We are just back from what has been an amazing weekend away. The property is beautiful and has a lovely, calm energy about it, with lovely walks into the country park. Thank you to Timo who was on hand to assist us and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay...nothing was too much trouble!!
Lovely host who was very helpful and friendly. The forte of this property is the number of great outside spaces to sit. Some shade, some sunny. And the garden gate opens onto the Forest where itâs a nice walk to Moors Valley Country Park which is great for kids but also nice for adults. Upstairs bedrooms not really suitable for little ones because of the steep stairs. Recommended.
We especially loved the extensive garden with seating areas for all hours of the day and easy access to the forest. Inside, the property is very well equipped and general areas are spacious, but we felt the bedrooms were rather small, particularly the attic bedrooms which are only really suitable for children with no bathroom upstairs. We visited Beaulieu one day and Brownsea island the next, both within easy driving distance and thoroughly enjoyed both days. Ringwood is convenient for restaurants, take aways and shopping too.
Such a fabulous property. The location is fabulous. So lovely to be able to walk straight into the woods. The only slight issue for us were the 3 twin bedded rooms. They are situated in the attic space, so very small with slanted roofs. Ideal for kids, but not adults.
The place is incredible. A full kitchen for cooking, a beautiful garden to relax in, and the hot tub and sauna are fab. Timo is fantastic and made the check-in experience perfect.Highly recommend.
We stayed at âThe studioâ for my wifeâs 70th birthday. There were 9 adult and 2 teenagers. There is so much space with lots of seating areas all around the grounds. The garden and patio are lovely. Great selection of bedrooms. Toilets and showers. My family made lots of use of the hot tub. Early April the weather was brilliant luckily. I would highly recommend the studio!
From start to finish excellent communication from Steven and Timo. Great to have support from Timo while we were there as we had a few hiccups with the oven, hob and dishwasher. Modern technology!I hadnât realised that 2 beds were for small children but fortunately one adult couldnât make it so the teenager managed to stretch out on his own!We all loved the hot tub and was a great way to start Christmas Day morning. On arrival we were welcomed by Timo and a warm and welcome house decorated for Christmas and 2 log burners burning brightly. We had a lovely family gathering and were able to explore the nearby Blashford Lakes and nature reserve. Great gardens and grounds but better for a spring, summer or autumn break.An interesting marble cast and family history in the house.ThankYou so much ch Steven and Timo.Rosie
We found this a great location for our 3 day cycling tour of the 2 forests (10 cycling with 2 back up cars)
We also used Luigi the resident chef on the Saturday night for our GALA dinner.
Overall a comfortable house although the three bedrooms in the roof were very small and low. The kitchen was adequate but some detailed instructions for the dishwasher and induction hob would have been very useful. 14 occupants pushes it to its limits, particularly when there are only 13 spoons! Guests should be advised to take there own coat hangers as there is little in the way of wardrobes, only wall/door hooks.
From the moment we arrived we knew this would be a special property; the Studio exudes charm, warmth and a real family feel. It was a perfect backdrop to a 60th birthday celebration.
The hosts, Steven and Timo, were welcoming
and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property, you wonât be disappointed and we will definitely return.
