An ideal base for a peaceful break. Good staff and great and brilliant location close enough to the new forest and the park. Also, in interested area. A great selection of goodies for breakfast🙂
Rather small room.

Lekker escape in Sway 🌲✨
Chilled vibes all around and loved the new forest rangers-proper chommies with great tips! Tammy sorted our facilities on the same day, major shout out to her. We strolled to cafes and markets every day, so lekker!
Only downside was the second bedroom was a bit on the small side, ya know?

Great Stay with Helpful Rangers
The Two-Bedroom House was impeccablynice and neat, providing ample space for our family. The on-site new forest rangers were knowledgeable and shared valuable tips about local walks and wildlife. A suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the outdoor seating options available .

Family holiday worth it
We felt very welcomed and the staff were genuinely helpful. The new forest rangers knew everything about the area, which really added to our experience. Tammy was a lifesaver was good. The location was bang on for exploring cool local spots and restaurants, very convenient for us.
It wasn't exactly cheap, but honestly, for what we got, it was still acceptable.

The location was perfect for exploring nearby villages and enjoying forest walks. Our Two-Bedroom House had a nice setup with comfortable furniture and a clean environment. The staff were genuinely helpful, especially the new forest rangers who provided great tips on local attractions. We appreciated the quick efforts from Tammy, who ensured our access to facilities was sorted out on the same day we arrived. We encountered a strong damp smell upon entering, particularly from the sofa area. This lingering smell was off-putting and detracted from our overall comfort. The Wi-Fi connection was inconsistent.

The Two-Bedroom House offered a quaint setup, with enough space to suit a couple. The overall hotel had a charming feel, despite needing some updates.
Right as we stepped into the house, we were hit with a strong damp smell-definitely not cute. It seemed to be coming from the top left corner of the sofa near the bay window, and no amount of fresh air could shake it off. The Wi-Fi was unreliable . If you're planning for more than just a couple, keep in mind that the second bedroom is pretty small, which could be a squeeze for anyone needing extra space. While the cozy vibe is there, the hotel could do with a solid refresh to live up to the positive reviews.
