“Great weekend with the family Excellent property ideal for our 3 dogs too”

- Gerald, June 2022
Janet May 2022

“We were a group of 11 (6 adults & 5 children) there was plenty of space for every one.”

The children loved helping with the cows & sheep. The B-B-Q & fire pit was great for the evenings after a busy day out. The property is in the ideal location in the new forest but also just a short trip to the coast. We are looking forward to our visit next year.

- Janet, May 2022
Cynthia May 2022

“We’ve had a lovely relaxed week at Breaches Barn.”

The accommodation was ideal for mixed generations, and the location proved ideal for walks from the door, days out at the coast and in the New Forest. A well presented, spacious, quiet location. Ed the farmer was very welcoming and helpful.

“Lovely property, good facilities, great location for families with their dogs ...”

Lovely property, good facilities, great location for families with their dogs and very helpful owners who go out of their way to make you want to return for another holiday

- Michael, March 2022
Scarlett March 2022

“Absolutely amazing place!”

The photos don't do it justice! Perfect setting for a large group of friends to socialise and spend time together celebrating a birthday, the open plan style was perfect. Very well stocked for cooking for a large group too. Can not fault this place, we were very lucky with the weather, the beautiful setting of countryside and opening the bedroom window and be greeted by the horses was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much! Everyone had a fantastic time!

- Scarlett, March 2022
Sam February 2022

“The property was very comfortable and well equipped.”

Weather was cold and wet when we were there but heating and log fire made the house cosy and welcoming. Lovely position, and owners very friendly and helpful.

- Sam, February 2022
Leanne February 2022

“Wow what a week we had.”

. the kitchen facilities were so well stocked enabling us to cook for 11 each night with no problem. The beds and linen where lovely and fresh. Waking up to the ponies and sheep in the field was a joy. One thing we would have changed if we could was the weather lol. Storm Eunice arrived forcing us to leave a night early.

- Leanne, February 2022
Sue January 2022

“The girls and I were absolutely blown away by Breeches Barn.”

We were celebrating a couple of 50th birthdays and the open planned space was perfect. Lovely bedrooms, beautiful surroundings and a wonderful homely feel, that we definitely did not want to leave. Thank you wonderful owners, your property is fabulous and we do hope to visit again one day.

- Sue, January 2022

We are so glad you had a lovely weekend of celebration! Property Owner
Brigid December 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Breaches Barn to celebrate my 70th birthday as a family.”

In spite of some wet weather we had a couple of great walks in the New Forest and visited Salisbury. The grandchildren enjoyed feeding the cattle and tractor rides with Ed. Breaches Barn was the perfect place to relax as a family and enjoy lots of games together. The TV was never switched on! There was plenty of space for everyone and the accommodation.had everything we needed! The only slight negative was that the dishwasher was not very effective and we had to re-wash quite a lot of the crockery. Otherwise we were very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We can highly recommend the food at The Rose and Thistle in.Rockbourne!

- Brigid, December 2021
Cate December 2021

“We stayed for Christmas arriving on 23rd Dec and left on 28th Dec.”

Ed and Fiona the owners were there to greet us and had the log burner on for us. Wr had a lovely holiday, the cottage is very clean and we had everything we needed. Thanks for making Christmas with the family so great.

- Cate, December 2021

We are so glad you had a very happy Christmas, especially after all the difficult times we have all had. Property Owner
Kate December 2021

“We had a wonderful, relaxing time at Breaches Barn with extended family.”

Such a perfect setting for meals, walks and board games together in front of the fire. We especially liked the room set up of having the separate downstairs wing with 2 x double bedrooms for the adults, whilst the 4 teenagers slept very comfortably upstairs. The huge fridge/freezer and 2 ovens were also an additional bonus with constantly hungry offspring to feed! We especially enjoyed our walk to the pub on Sunday and back for roast beef around the large dining table. Thank you so much Ed and Fiona for making us so welcome.

- Kate, December 2021

We are so glad you had a lovely time. Property Owner
Michael November 2021

“Excellent location, lovely property, and the owners of the property always ready to offer any information and help if required.”

Thoroughly recommend this property for a family getaway holiday

- Michael, November 2021
Kim November 2021

“With my family, we had a long weekend break for my 60th birthday.”

We had eight adults and a two-week old baby in our party. The property was exactly how it was described and was perfect for us. We made use of the tennis court too while we were there. Ed greeted us on arrival and was on hand if we needed him. I would definitely book this accommodation again.

- Kim, November 2021
Kevin October 2021

“A great place to spend the weekend in the countryside.”

Ed was wonderful letting the kids go and help feeding the calves. Would definitely revisit.

- Kevin, October 2021
Lynne October 2021

“Perfect for family holiday.”

Comfortable beds. Everything we expected

- Lynne, October 2021
Stephen September 2021

“Considering the place cost over £300 per night (and that was a reduced rate!”

) the least they could do is provide a little welcome pack of essentials such as milk, bread, coffee etc. Felt quite a cheap and greedy thing not to do. Then the cleanliness wasn't great and making people take their own towels lessens the experience of a true getaway. Finally, the barn is far more equipped than the listing noted such as BBQ, firepit and board games etc.

- Stephen, September 2021
Martyn September 2021

“Probably the best equipped of any cottage we have rented”

- Martyn, September 2021
David August 2021

“We had a family holiday, 7 adults and a 9 year old boy.”

We loved the tennis court, the quiet surroundings and the cattle. Great facilities in the Barn for us all to be accommodated. Ed and Fiona were great and couldn't do too much for us.

- David, August 2021
Deborah August 2021

“It was a lovely ,well provided house in a safe & peaceful setting - we were of a family of 13 with grandchildren aged 12,10,9.”

& 3.! Fire pit was provided great for the grownups in evening - wine & star gazing! And the kids loved the cows, feeding the chickens & checking the crayfish in the pond. The only hitch was the gallery space for anyone sleeping there & the children up & down stairs early . But the veranda was handy for setting up a small tent to get a lie in undisturbed for our youngest son & girlfriend. Would definitely return for another holiday some much to do & see in the area.

- Deborah, August 2021
Linda August 2021

“Lovely peaceful spot in our beautiful country and thankfully we all were able to make it.”

Suzanne June 2021

“What a stunning setting!”

! From a completely toddler proof garden to a house that housed 10 adults perfectly, oh and waking up overlooking fields, and watching the sunset, and did I mention the house? It was a perfect week away, in the most chilled out location. Would recommend to anyone with a big family

- Suzanne, June 2021
K May 2021

“My whole experience has been fabulous.”

This was my first booking with Sykes and usually It was the same person who dealt with my inquiry and payments. He was professional, knowledgeable and cheerful. On arrival at the property I was over the moon. It was exactly like the pictures and absolutely perfect. We throughly enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful, idyllic and couldn't have been more suitable to our needs. I've shown all my friends and work colleagues my photographs and would throughly recommend Sykes cottages. We will definitely be returning to this property. The owners were on hand and quick to reply to queries, regarding cot, highchairs etc Thank you for making a special birthday celebration so memorable and perfect.

- K, May 2021
Simon September 2020

“Our stay at Breaches Barn was wonderful, the perfect relaxing break.”

The property is a lovely converted barn, done beautifully and the owners were friendly. We had 3 dogs and there was plenty of space both in and out the property. Facilities are all you'll ever need. The wifi was very slow/non-existent at times which meant we had to pay extra for mobile data for Netflix etc and for working which unfortunately I had to do while I was there. That however was the only niggle and we would definitely return regardless because of the property, the setting on the farm and the location for the New Forest and beyond.

- Simon, September 2020
Susan September 2020

“We had a wonderful holiday at Breaches Barn and everything was exactly as listed.”

This was a much needed break amidst the Covid pandemic and to just relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside of The New Forest area was brilliant. We will definitely go back again.

- Susan, September 2020

Due to family logistics ( and all the other to we don't want to talk about) we only had 5 days that worked for us all but what a lovely 5 days we had, facilities were great and the area is lovely and we are rural dwellers so that is high praise, we would definitely love to go back there again sometime in the future, thank you

- Hazel, August 2020
John August 2020

“Perfect location.”

Spacious and comfortable accommodation. Lovely area for country walks. Tennis court an extra bonus for exercise and fun.10 minute drive from supermarkets so easy to get all you need. Thoroughly recommended

- John, August 2020
Wendy July 2020

“Loved the setting very peaceful but near to lots of day trips and essential shops within 10 min drive The new extension was beautifully furnished with 2 big en-suites.”

easy access with a large sloping ramp up to decking and through to both bedrooms.

- Wendy, July 2020
Carole December 2019

“Only disabled excess a slope for wheelchair users”

- Carole, December 2019
Lynn October 2019

“Everything was as it said in the descriptions BUT even better in real life.”

For our family, Ed, the Farmer made the holiday! His patience and kindness with the children was brilliant. Two of the grandchildren,ages 8&10, became his 'farmhands' for the week, an experience far beyond expectations. Ed even took all the other children, when they visited, for rides on the tractor. A lovely man. We definitely will return! Thanks Ed.

- Lynn, October 2019
Gillian August 2019

“We had a lovely time with our family in very comfortable and peaceful surroundings.”

Beautiful countryside right on our doorstep. The bonus of a working farm where the grandchildren could get up close to cattle, chickens and piglets - thanks to the kindness of Edward and Fiona. We created wonderful memories.

- Gillian, August 2019
Tessa July 2019

“The garden was a LOT smaller than expected from viewing the advertised pictures and not completely dog proof.”

The place was a bit tired and grubby and for the money frankly a disappointment. The description gave the impression that the tennis court and pond were part of the property. They are not. The tennis court was tired and not really usable (and a walk away), although the pond was sweet. The flooring creaked and the bedroom door handles sticky meaning you couldn't go anywhere quietly when you have a houseful and the beds on the landing were less than private to say the least! The single beds were metal, creaky and desperately uncomfortable. All in all, when paying nearly £2K for a week this property is not worth the money, it could do with some money spent on it and more realistic photos and description. Location, however, was perfect and there were some lovely walks.

- Tessa, July 2019
Laura July 2019

“We had a wonderful family holiday in beautiful surroundings and in a spacious and comfortable house that felt like a home for the week.”

It was a good location for walking the dogs but also a short journey to Bournemouth and Salisbury. We were able to use a nearby camp site’s indoor and outdoor pool (Sandyballs) for a reasonable price and enjoyed water sports and archery in the New Forest. We made use of the site’s tennis court (rackets were available at the house) and the garden. Would consider returning as we enjoyed it so much!

- Laura, July 2019
Joanne June 2019

“A really spacious, characterful property with plenty space for a large group to enjoy relaxing together both inside and outside.”

Excellent facilities, clean and felt very welcoming and set in a lovely peaceful location. Would highly recommend this property. Although ground floor bedroom and bathroom were advertised there were steps up into the property which were tricky for the wheelchair and not included in general description. Worth mentioning this for future holiday makers. We had a great time.

- Joanne, June 2019
Maria March 2019

“The accommodation was fantastic.”

It had everything we needed and was in a great location. I would definitely stay again.

- Maria, March 2019
Debbie February 2019

“Fantastic home and so a lovely venue for my birthday celebration.”

Our 3 rd visit to the farm

- Debbie, February 2019
Paulette December 2018

“Breaches Barn lacked nothing you’d expect for home from home comfort.”

Idyllic setting amongst rolling hills. Our 6 year old granddaughter and two older grandkids loved seeing the farm animals- sheep, horses, cows and calves. I couldn’t recommend a visit more. We would like to return at some point. Ed, the farmer, and his wife we so welcoming.

- Paulette, December 2018
Helen September 2018

“We found Breaches Barn to be very comfortable and ideal for our 3 dogs.”

.the garden is completely enclosed. The barn is very well equipped with everything required for cooking. We actually organized a Tesco delivery, since we chose to cook in the evenings. However, The Rose and Thistle pub, a short drive from the barn, is very pleasant and welcoming. I would definitely return to this lovely location. Very peaceful.

- Helen, September 2018
Angela May 2018

“Perfect for our family break.”

Lovely place, inside and outdoor area. Had everything we needed. Were lucky to see the wisteria in flower and a deer in the wood. Would highly recommend.

- Angela, May 2018
Marion April 2018

“Really beautiful part of country, on a working farm, close to New Forest cycle routes.”

It suited my family's idea of a holiday perfectly

- Marion, April 2018
Geoff March 2018

“We've just returned from a short Easter Weekend break at Breaches Barn and we loved it!”

There were 4 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs. The barn has a very rustic feel to it which we really liked and the open plan ground floor with beams plus the bedroom layout on the first floor was excellent. Sitting in front of the log burning stove in the evening was so lovely for all of us. The barn and garden was also very secure for the dogs. We will definitely be returning in the future!
