Guests say
Four Oaks is a charming, character-filled thatched cottage ideal for families and groups, offering spacious accommodation, a well-equipped kitchen, and secure gardens perfect for children and dogs. Guests praise its cosy atmosphere, excellent location near the New Forest and coast, and thoughtful touches from the host. While some mention minor maintenance issues and low ceilings, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests keen to return.
Most guests found the cottage very clean and well-presented, with particular praise for the bathrooms and general upkeep. A few noted that some kitchen utensils and crockery needed extra cleaning, but this did not detract significantly from their stay.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with easy access to the New Forest, coast, local shops, pubs, and parks. Guests appreciated the convenience and peaceful village setting.
The cottage is described as warm, cosy, and spacious, with comfortable beds and plenty of room for families. Some guests found the sofas in the main lounge lacking in padding and noted low ceilings, but overall comfort was rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, large kitchen, secure garden, and parking are well received. Some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi, TV signal, and maintenance of certain items (e.g., sofas, hot tub jets), but these were generally outweighed by the positives.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, chocolates, wine, and the host checking in during their stay. Please note that these gifts are not guaranteed for every booking.

We had a very enjoyable week at Four Oaks . It is full of character, spacious and comfortable making it ideal for large groups or family gatherings. We were a group of 5 adults, 3 children under 5 and 2 dogs . The garden was great to play in and very secure for both dogs and children ! It is well located for days out in the Forest and a few minutes walk from a lovely park and local shops and pubs. Communication with Mike was excellent and he was quick to respond to any queries . Highly recommended, would stay again 😀

We were a family of 8 including 4 children of various ages for a family get together. We loved the cottage, full of character plus everything we could possibly need. Space for the kids to separate if they wanted to. Downstairs bedroom on the small side but We have already looked at going back
