“What a find!”

Perfect for our family get together, spacious, light, well equipped and lovely comfy beds. We loved all of it as did the family, from the spaciousness inside and out, to the use of the tennis court and the woods. Thank you, would love to come again.

“Our very welcoming, accommodating and easy going host welcomed us on our arrival.”

We had booked the barn for 10 of us for an 80th celebration and we were joined for the day by a dozen well behaved guests and a few more dogs for a BBQ and a little dancing. The weather let us down a bit but the venue was perfect, open spacious and very well equipped with a huge fridge freezer and fabulous BBQ (sufficient to cook 40 burgers and sausages!). When the sun came out there was plenty of high quality outdoor seating and a lovely enclosed area for the dogs and photographs. The rooms and bathrooms were fabulously appointed and comfortable. It amounted to a great event thanks to a great venue and host. Thank you

“We were very happy with the accommodation overall.”

There were a few minor niggles which may not be the fault of the property’s owner. For example there was no food recycling caddy. The litter bin lid did not stay shut. There was plenty of room for the advertised three car parking spaces. Maybe four could be fitted in if they were small or medium sized cars.

Davina July 2026

“We loved the property from the time we arrived.”

Great location for us for a getaway for friends who have known each other for 38 years. The house is set up so well spacious inside and out. Sunny and shady areas which we used. We liked the Bbq and it was easy to clean. Onsite owners who checked in with us soon after our arrival to check all was ok. A lovely touch. Thank you.

“We thoroughly enjoy our stay.”

The barn was beautiful. The views were lovely! We had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was super. 8 of us stayed comfortably. The Farmer and his wife were very helpful and made us feel welcome. A great place for a family to stay!

- Robert, June 2026
Susan May 2026

“Great property for our group.”

Plenty of space and everything we could want. The location was close to the New Forest and to Fordingbridge. Our hosts went out of their way to be helpful. Would highly recommend this place.

Vincent March 2026

“We booked the stay for a surprise 60th birthday weekend with the family.”

The setting was perfect to shut off from the outside world and spend quality time together. There was some confusion, as I messaged the booking team to confirm if we needed to bring our own towels after reading other reviews, and they confirmed we didn’t, but when we arrived there were no towels allocated. The homeowners were able to provide some, but I will state that this isn’t included in the rental for future guests. Sadly, due to weather conditions, we couldn’t partake in any country walks. We dined at a lovely country pub, The Rose and Thistle, for Mother’s Day lunch, which was delicious. We would stay again.

- Vincent, March 2026
Neil December 2025

“We were so incredibly pleased with the property.”

It was clean and tidy, and very comfortably accommodated our group of 11. The photos do not do this rental justice. The owners had also put up a small Christmas tree and decorations, as we were staying over Christmas for a family get together. The rooms were spacious, and we didn't feel like we were crammed together. We would highly recommend this property to anyone with a big group. The fact it's also on a working farm, just added to the country charm. 10 out of 10. Don't skip past this property, it's well worth it!⁶

Emma September 2025

“Fantastic accommodation in a great location!”

Lots of communal living, dining and outside space. Very, very dog friendly. Definitely a 5 star review but with a couple of suggestions for the owner: One hand towel in each bathroom would be helpful - we forgot that we might need these. More loo roll - enough to get us started but very quickly needed to buy more! Toilet seat in upstairs en-suite bathroom poorly fitted (too far back so that the lid kept falling, moved a bit on use). Still a fantastic stay though - would definitely return! Thank you!

- Emma, September 2025
Lesley August 2025

“11 of us stayed for a weekend.”

We were amazed at the space and facilities provided. It was in a quite location overlooking fields. We would definitely recommend it.

Lyn July 2025

“We have just returned from a fabulous 4-night stay at this property.”

The house is clean, spacious and set in beautiful surroundings within easy reach of a quaint village and the beautiful new forest, where wild horses roam freely!

- Lyn, July 2025
Andrew July 2025

“Great location for an extended family weekend.”

We appreciated the large dining table so that meals could be taken together. The separate connected annexe was good for the younger children who had an earlier bedtime. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

- Andrew, July 2025
Terence July 2025

“Wonderful place to stay.”

We messed up with not bringing towels, but the owners were VERY accommodating. Lots of space, facilities exactly as listed and VERY out of the way. Lovely being woken up gently by the cows in the morning on this working farm. We even got to pick some blackberries from the hedgerow. Would stay again. Thanks

- Terence, July 2025
Ali May 2025

“We had a fantastic stay with family for a 80th birthday celebration.”

The barn was extremely comfortable and a beautiful location. We were 13 adults and 2 dogs and the weekend was perfect for our group. Edward and Fiona were great hosts and made us feel very welcomed on their farm. We definitely go back and thank you again to our hosts. Ali and Rob

Marian May 2025

“We had a really enjoyable week with family (8 adults, 5 children, toddler and dog) at Breeches Barn.”

The house was just right for us. Good location. Great pub; Rose and Thistle in the village. Lots of space for the children to roam safely. Couple who ran the farm and holiday lets very nice and accommodating. Even returning, via post, a very special soft toy left behind by one of the children. Would definitely return and definitely recommend. Mulroy Family.

E J May 2025

“It is a wonderful house for a large family or friends.”

It was our second stay &we all love it there. Only complaint it needs a new sunshade&a large one as it doesn't cover enough of the table&it can get very hot there.

Frances March 2025

“We had a family gathering to celebrate a special birthday.”

The barn was perfect for adults and children alike. We loved the huge living/dining/kitchen area. Outside we had lots of exploring to do; the tennis court, the pond and best of all the woods where we found tree swings - great fun.

- Frances, March 2025
Margaret February 2025

“It was very wet during our stay and approaching the property was very muddy.”

The garden is very small for 2 dogs but there is a field down the drive which again with tractors working was very muddy

Rachael February 2025

“Wonderful Stay, Highly Recommended!”

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this beautiful barn! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The property was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. The hosts were welcoming, but gave us the space to be independent. We especially enjoyed the spacious lounge and log burner, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The attention to detail and the overall comfort of the place made our stay feel like a home away from home. We would definitely return and highly recommend this holiday let to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting!

- Rachael, February 2025
Kerry December 2024

“Lovely property, great open space to enjoy time together.”

The area is beautiful and fun to be on the farm. Plenty of bedrooms for us all, however we didn’t have the full numbers due to illness. I feel that it lacked the little touches that we are used to when staying in holiday cottages such as a small welcome pack or decorations fitting the time of year. I have never had to take our own towels before and the kitchen lacked a few basics e.g. bread knife.

- Kerry, December 2024
Sian December 2024

“Excellent property, one of the best we have stayed in.”

The large open living space was ideal for a family with small kids. I was concerned it might be cold but it was actually very warm. Very well equipped, plenty of seating both in the living area and the table. Five comfy bedrooms (the two in the extension were very nice) and two extra beds on the open landing. It would be really helpful if cottage owners could add a rudimentary floor plan to their gallery to help prospective visitors work out how their group might fit into the room configuration. This is a general comment and not directed at this particular house - matching room descriptions and photos can feel like detective work on occasions!

- Sian, December 2024
Kim December 2024

“This was our second stay in Breaches Barn and easily accommodated our family of 8 adults, 2 children and our spaniel.”

The barn was warm and welcoming on our arrival and the fire was burning. There was a good supply of logs, which kept us going throughout our stay. The kitchen is well equipped too.

- Kim, December 2024
Angela November 2024

“Such a lovely place to stay, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

It was nice to know the owners were on site if we needed them. Lovely supply of logs and the Barn was very clean and well kept, beds were all comfortable and the Barn was lovely and warm. Bonus was that the fire was light when we arrived. Would definitely book again.

- Angela, November 2024

Ingrid July 2024

“We were very happy with our stay; it was a great place to bring a larger group and a wonderfully conducive ambience for hanging out together.”

The kitchen was well equipped. We might offer this suggestion: we were provided with one towel per person. A few more towels would be appreciated. Some of the guests wished for a hair dryer, as well. But practically perfect, otherwise. Many thanks!

- Ingrid, July 2024

Hi Ingrid, Towels are not provided in our holiday cottages. I am sorry that the towels that I lent you were not sufficient. There are 2 hairdryers in Breaches Barn for guests to use. I am glad that you all enjoyed yourselves. Property Owner

Andrew June 2024

“We had a great time, the owners were fantastic, particularly with our young Grandson.”

The fridge broke but they provided another the next day which was excellent.

- Andrew, June 2024
Sharon June 2024

“We had a 3 night stay at Breaches Barn, it was as described on the website, it was comfortable and well equipped.”

We were a family of 8 with an age range from 30 to 81, everyone was very pleased with their rooms and slept well. The enclosed garden was lovely, our two dogs loved the outside area and surrounding walks. The garden is adjacent to fields with sheep and cows. The owner of the property, advised where we could walk the dogs around the working farm. THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION Some suggestions that we would like to put forward to enhance the guest experience: ● spare bin liners in the kitchen ● more than 1 toilet roll per bathroom ● shower gel ● one garden gate needs a bit of maintenance at the bottom. If you had a small dog it would be able to get out. However, none of the above detracted from our stay at the property. Feedback for Sykes: ● the website states towels are provided at the start of the details, then further down says you need to provide your own. We took them but some people might not. ● the website says take your own tea towels. The owner had provided them.

- Sharon, June 2024
Lucy May 2024

“Thank you for a fantastic stay.”

We stayed as a party of 10 and had ample space and were really comfortable. The kids loved playing hide and seek around the house and were thrilled to see cows and lambs on the farm. We were impressed at how well equipped the kitchen was (including the large fridge freezer) and it was great to have books and games to use as well. The only thing we missed were blackout blinds in the upstairs rooms. Highly recommend and would love to return!

- Lucy, May 2024
Sue May 2024

“We had an amazing time at Breaches Barn.”

Nine single ladies and 3 dogs accommodated with ease and it is a great social space for a large group. Enclosed garden was super as our dogs could run around without fear of them going anywhere they shouldn't. Owner very helpful describing where to walk although we did less walking than planned as the weather was so amazing it was just to easy to sit in the sun trap of a garden with a glass of something chilled. If I had to find a niggle, my shower head could have done with a descale, a bit more loo roll would be good with a large group and the crows attacking the window stickers early in the morning were minor irritations. Perhaps non bird shaped stickers might be better? None of this really affected our enjoyment of a fantastic break. Have recommended Breaches Barn to my neighbours who are looking for a big space for family to meet up.

- Sue, May 2024

Laura April 2024

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Breaches Barn.”

Plenty of room for our large party of eight adults and five children. Spacious and very comfortable. Great weather enabled us to make full use of the outside areas, including visits to see the farm animals and to use the tennis court. Would highly recommend for a large group holiday!

- Laura, April 2024

“We came here as a family for my Dad’s 60th (6 adults and a small dog).”

A lovely barn in an even lovelier location. Straight forward process from booking to leaving. Log fire was enjoyed after long days spent walking around the New Forest. Close to everything we needed and wanted to do but also good connections to places further out. Thank you☺️

- Daisy, March 2024

I am so glad that you had a lovely time in the barn to celebrate your Dads 60th. Property Owner
Daniel February 2024

“Excellent property and location.”

We were 10 adults, 3 dogs, and a baby. All the things you could want for a large group - Open plan kitchen-dining-living room with heaps of comfy seating to all relax in one space with a lovely enclosed garden - it was raining on us so we made more use of the log burner! But very handy to throw the dogs outside when they wanted to play. Also well placed for lots of walks in the local area with some gentle strolls directly out of the front door across the private land the property sits on.

- Daniel, February 2024

- Angela, December 2023
Nigel November 2023

“Absolutely perfect for us… great place and thank you for starting the fire for our arrival!”

The only challenge we had were following the instructions at night time once we were on the farm itself! Maybe clearer or lit signage might help but otherwise we were super happy with your barn. Very spacious and with all the facilities we needed. My Mum had a lovely 80th birthday. Thank you.

- Nigel, November 2023

“Wonderful house for a family group (we were 13 in all) which was well equipped for everything we needed.”

- Martin, October 2023
Christine July 2023

“We had a lovely stay.”

Cottage was great for our big group. We had a wheelchair user in our party so the ramp access was perfect although we hadn’t realized there were then steps from that part of the house to the main areas and this would be worth highlighting. It’s very unusual for such a place not to provide towels. Toilet roll supply was completely inadequate too even though we were only there 2 nights, so we had to immediately shop for more. Same with dishwasher tabs. Could do with more cleaning cloths too. Small things like this actually make a big difference! But we had a great stay - thank you.

- Christine, July 2023
Dawn July 2023

“Our stay was lovely.”

We hired Breaches Barn for a family birthday and it easily accommodated three generations of our extended family. The extension in particular was lovely, a real up market feel and contrast to the beamed barn (which was also lovely). The facilities easily accommodated a large number of people (plenty of crockery etc), cleaning products/tea towels/dishwasher/washing machine all perfectly functional. There is good dog walking around the farm with access to some pretty woods. I think one of the best things was that the Barn is on a farm; there were cows and sheep in the next field when we stayed; they seemed very used to people and wandered over when we came out of the Barn. The Barn feels peaceful and a bit isolated while having easy access to local villages (and great pubs), Fordingbridge and the New Forest. All in all we had a perfect weeks' break.

- Dawn, July 2023
Susan June 2023

“A wonderful holiday cottage, with great accomodation for us all and a wonderful living space.”

A really peaceful location with great views. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms were lovely and very spacious, but. Rather light...and the upstairs bedrooms were quite warm on sunny days. However it would have been great if there had been some free cupboard space for groceries. The bedrooms were lovely, but the main downside was how hot the upstairs bedrooms became and how light the bedrooms were. Potentially some thicker wider curtains and provision of fans would be great additions. Also we experienced some difficulty with the hotwater in part of the house, and lack of clarity over instructions for hot water. However it is a wonderful holiday home. Thank you. I happy for the first part to be published up to the break

- Susan, June 2023
Catherine May 2023

“The barn is well equipped, tranquil, remote and the bluebell woods are lovely and the owner explained how to get to them.”

I did have a mixture of emails from Sykes Cottage that said towels and linen were included and then that they weren't included so I called the owner and she confirmed that towels were not included but bath mats were included - this did make me laugh as I don't think I have ever had to take bath mats to a cottage stay?! T Towels and linen were included too. If you are concerned with security I would advise you to check first that the warped back door has been replaced. Firstly, I understand that there is an energy/food crisis. We paid £1193 which £1126 was the cost of the rental which was for a 3 night stay. When we stayed at a converted barn back in 2021 (via Sykes Cottages) when we arrived there was a bottle of prosecco in an ice bucket and a welcome note, along with 6 fresh farm eggs (as they had chickens just as Breaches Barn did too), a freshly baked loaf and cooked brownies & we still tell everyone about this! This welcome was such a joyful one and really appreciated by us all! When we arrived at Breaches Barn there was nothing. We had to take our own towels. I understand they are running a business and we would have used electric/gas whilst we were there (we were out every day and out on Saturday evening to see a show in Southampton) and linen would have to washed after we left but a 'welcome 6 fresh farm eggs/note' would have been a nice gesture out of their £1126 earnings. The dishwasher has an intermittent problem. We saw the owner about this on Saturday morning. The owner did explain he knew nothing about dishwashers and kindly sent his son over to look at the dishwasher but by this time we had googled the make/model and it advised to run the cold water tap for 20 seconds in the kitchen sink once the dishwasher had been put on and the first time we did this it worked - happy days! However on the Sunday evening we had to mess around doing this for around an hour before we could get it to work. So the dishwasher needs to be looked at. My main gripe was the security of the property. We are 3 mature women who were having a break from our busy lives. Yes we all live in towns and we are aware that country folk have different ideas about locking up their properties. But this barn is a let property that has to be insured. The door from the lounge area that leads out to the rear garden/patio area has no lock and key slot and it had a bolt at the base of the door that was broken and the door has warped. We saw the owner about the back door at the same time we told him about the dishwasher. He explained that he never locks his own house and knows about the back door. He has paid a carpenter to get the wood back in January to make a new door but this still hasn't been done. One of my friends has an anxiety problem about being burgled. So she slept upstairs. We had to barricade the back door with furniture and also upstairs where she was sleeping each evening to reassure her that we were safe but her reply was 'things do happen in the countryside with intruders/burglary'. So my friend had 3 bad nights sleep. I think the advertising of the property should advise there is no lock on the back door as we would NOT have booked this cottage if we had known due to our friends issue. I did wonder that if the property had been burgled in the time when we were out that how our valuables would have been covered by the insurance? Basically the door needs to be replaced and secured. One of my friends said that if the back door was replaced and secured they would in the future rebook this property.

- Catherine, May 2023

we are sorry for your concerns The door has now been replaced after a very long wait for the carpenter to make it. The dishwasher has been looked at and no problem was found so it is a mystery! Please come and stay again. Property Owner

Rod January 2023

“The owners were lovely and very friendly.”

We saw them most days and they provided a lovely atmosphere for our holiday with lots of information about the farm and surrounding area. On our last day we had car issues and they could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The Barn is in a lovely setting and very comfortable for a family gathering which was our main reason for selecting this property. We would highly recommend a stay here to relax.

- Rod, January 2023
Daniel December 2022

Julie December 2022

“Absolutely wonderful stay.”

It was the coldest weekend so far this year but we were very comfortable with a plentiful supple of logs for the woodburner. Thank you

- Julie, December 2022
Victoria December 2022

“Perfect place to stay for a group of friends getting together.”

The log burner was a lovely addition for a chilly December visit and the location worked well for visits to the New Forest. We had a minor problem with the hot water and the owners sorted it out immediately. All in all I would recommend Breaches Barn and would love to return one day.

- Victoria, December 2022
Clare November 2022

Catherine November 2022

“The Barn was a fabulous holiday cottage.”

Lots of cows, sheep , and a few chickens around.Beautiful location. Near plenty of walks. Lots of beds for over 10 people. Well equipped kitchen. Blazing log fire. Open plan downstairs was the perfect layout for a big group. It was cosy but spacious all at once. Highly recommend this Barn for groups, families etc. Thank you. Had a grrat weekend.

- Catherine, November 2022
Edward November 2022

“We had a great time celebrating a joint 80th birthday.”

The spaciousness of the open plan conversion was excellent for a family get together and it was a warm and cosy place. The big table was much appreciated and we really liked there being some racquets to borrow so we could make use of the tennis court. Given the mobility issues of my elderly parents we really liked the ground floor bedrooms. Some minor improvements could be made to make it even more disability friendly. The ramp at the back had a step at the bottom which was difficult for a wheel chair. Smoothing this out would be an easy improvement. Also my mother found the step from the bedrooms to the main living area very difficult which somewhere negated the ground floor benefits. A ramp of some sort would help. Similarly grab rails in the ground floor bedroom shower would be helpful for mobility impaired people. In total though Breaches Barn was great and I'd happily recommend it.

- Edward, November 2022
Andrew October 2022

“This was our second holiday in the Barn.”

We love the location, easy trips to New Forest walks but the temptation is just to hang out on the farm. We like the way it is laid out, open plan allows the family to be together and yet there are spaces for a quiet time or privacy. Direct access from the ground floor bedrooms to the decking is lovely on a morning, saves the early dog walker waking the late risers. The area outside is lovely, we could lunch outside with only the neighbouring sheep and horses for company. The younger folk in the family enjoyed the tennis court and Fordingbridge is an easy distance away. The friendly owners are on hand if you need help or advice.

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.

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

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.

“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

“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!

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.

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.

“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

“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.

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.

“Due to family logistics ( and all the other to we don't want to talk about) we ...”

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

“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.

“Only disabled excess a slope for wheelchair users”

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

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

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

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!
