“This holiday rental could be great if a few things were checked and addressed prior to the rental start date.”

...

In its favour, the house was spotlessly clean and the location excellent for exploring this part of the Dorset/Hampshire coast and countryside. We had a problem in the en-suite shower room and after a quick phone call the problem was resolved quickly and efficiently while we were out. The garden is well fenced and safe for children and dogs. However, the grass had not had its first cut of the year and was extremely long. Luckily I did a thorough check before letting my grandchildren and my own dog into the garden on arrival and was disappointed that I had to clear up at least three decaying dog feaces amongst the long grass that must have been there quite some time prior to our arrival. We were unable to get the dvd and CD players to work and had taken dvd’s and cd’s especially. Finally, I think in this day and age it is unacceptable to only effectively access the internet in the study.

***Owner's Response*** We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday at Shanzu House and hope that you will return soon. The grass is cut every two weeks, and the gardener was due on your departure day. I have asked our management team Homeminders to let us know if the grass needs more frequent cutting, and to check the grass very carefully between bookings. We have repaired the dvd/video and added a digital radio and a Blu-Ray player. A Wi-FI booster has been installed in the living room. I have asked Homeminders to check all the appliances at each change over. Owner relations

“Lovely village property surrounded on three sides by other properties overlooking the garden and lounge.”

Very short drive to local beach. Ten minutes drive to some beautiful New Forest walks. Step out of the front door and a mini market and takeaway are a 3 minute walk away. Property in very good order and very clean. WiFi throughout. Best (full reception) in office, kitchen, downstairs bedroom and upstairs front bedroom. 1 bar reception and a tendency to drop out completely on a regular basis in lounge and conservatory. No curtains or blinds in lounge so neighbours can look straight in after the lights come on. Perfect dog holiday cottage with wooden floors downstairs and carpet up. We took a dog gate with us as dog/baby gate is not provided to keep pets downstairs.

“The comfort of the house, the friendly community it was based in and the closeness to many charming places.”
Mrs Sparrow November 2018

“Never thought of staying in a residential area before in the New Forrest but this was perfect.”

Shop & pub with food 5mins walk & short drive to all amenities. Comfortable clean house with plenty of parking.
Mr Nolan October 2018

“Excellent cottage had nearly all we needed.”

No ordinance survey map but otherwise all fine. Bus and train time table would also have been useful.
Mrs Asteraki September 2018

“The playhouse was a great hit with my 2 year old granddaughter.”

The dog proof garden was such a bonus as we have a terrier who normally escapes from everywhere.
Mr Symonds August 2018

“Good cottage "exactly as it says on the tin".”

Could do with a few little touches to make it a ten out of ten such as. Cut garden grass before first day, curtains in lounge for sunny days, and a BBQ in the garden.
Mrs Hirons August 2018

“Desperately need Black out blinds in upstairs bedrooms.”

Also ceiling fans would be useful as bedrooms in roofs get very hot. Garden needs attention shrubs very overgrown particularly the brambles on the decking area. Sun full on in lounge so unable to keep cool as no curtains. If we we are to have good summers like this year then all the above points need to be addressed.
Ms Odell July 2018

“We felt that it was a bit of a shame that arrival time was so late in the day and departure so early.”

I know that cleaning has to be done but I'd be very surprised if it took six hours.
Mr Lees July 2018

“It's a shame that access is difficult for the disabled.”

A ramp would be ideal. The steps and double doors at the front make it very hard for the less able bodied. Also there isn't a mirror or stool near an electric point upstairs which makes it difficult to blow dry hair and apply makeup!
Mr Evans June 2018

“Better curtains in all bedrooms would be nice, some that block the light and some curtains in the lounge would make a good difference.”

otherwise all very nice.
Mr Evans May 2018

“The lawn had not been cut for some weeks so the grass was going wild.”

Disappointing!
