“Lovely cottage, very clean and spacious with excellent facilities in quiet location and local shops within walking distance.”

Excellent location for exploring the new forest. Back garden a very good size and fully enclosed for the dogs. Extra touches like dog bowls, and tea, milk & ground coffee for the coffee machine on arrival were much appreciated.

“We had a great week and so much so we really didn't want to leave for hone!”

Excellent property in an ideal position! Recommend you give it a go.
Mrs Mozdzynski October 2019

“Good location and well equipped.”

Found downstairs bed somewhat uncomfortable so slept upstairs. Grass in back garden needed a cut. It made spotting and picking up dog poo a bit challenging. We did clear up after the dogs but it would have been easier with short grass.
Mrs Page October 2019

“It was so nice that I could holiday with my 3 dogs ( 1 large and 2 small ) most places I look at only allow the 2 dogs.”

Thank you!
Mr Clarke July 2019

“Holiday was excellent.”

No problems apart from a wine glass breakage which I reported to the cleaning company
Mrs Dickson July 2019

“Amazing place .”

Had everything you wanted for a perfect holiday . Good level Of cleanliness apart from previous doggy drool on conservatory doors , so we cleaned it off. When we arrived there was a box of empty beer bottles by the front door so not a great first impression. As I have limited mobility I found the downstairs bed quite uncomfortable( we had to buy a memory foam mattress topper ) and quite tight by the window and the en-suite quite limiting to go to the toilet so had to climb stairs for shower upstairs which defeated the object of downstairs shower room. The kitchen was lovely as was the lounge and conservatory . Garden was the perfect size and the dogs loved it .The drive way was great for 3 cars Great location to see all the sights , perfect . Make sure you leave by 10 am as cleaner there to clean the house, we also had plumber turn up before 10 am to test equipment so our leaving the property was a bit fraught Would recommend this superb house for a fantastic holiday , would definitely go again
Mrs Masters June 2019

“Absolutely fabulous.”

One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.
Mrs Allen-maher June 2019

“House was perfect, Location was perfect.”

Lovely little park off Heath road, just for quick walks with the dogs. so much within 10 mins of any direction. Lymington (10 mins), Barton on sea (10 mins), Milford on sea (10 mins), Wilverly place (10 mins), New Milton (10 mins). Shops just a 2 min walk, and a very nice Brewers Fayre just down the road for a cheeky pint. Have already booked for same time next year, something to look forward to.
Mrs Doel May 2019

“Lovely house and area.”

...the only slight problem no internet down stairs. Hoping to go back next year
Mrs Hidalgo March 2019

“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.

“Probably the best rental which we have stayed in around the forest.”

They thought of everything! I could have turned up with nothing but our clothes. Co-op just 3 minute walk, Large Tesco 5 minutes drive. Great for easy drive to the beach & the forest.

“Perfect”

Brilliant place to be to visit all surrounding areas. The house is so clean and tidy and spacious Everything you need for your relaxing stay.

“great location and very spacious feeling cottage”

The location is great between both the sea and the forest with everything only a short drive away. This is a great family-friendly cottage with lots to entertain the little ones. All eventualities taken care of with lots of handy bits and bobs stored away. Would definitely visit again.
