Guests say
Fayrewood House offers a spacious and well-equipped base for exploring Dorset and the New Forest, with comfortable beds and a quiet location. Guests appreciated the ample parking and the property's suitability for families. While the house is generally clean and provides good value, some areas such as the bathroom, blinds, and garden could benefit from attention. Occasional thoughtful touches from previous guests were noted, though not guaranteed. Overall, the property is a practical choice for those seeking a convenient and comfortable stay, with a few minor improvements needed.
Several guests found the property clean and tidy, but others noted issues such as cobwebs, dust, an unemptied bin, and an untidy garden. The bathroom floor was mentioned as difficult to clean. Cleanliness appears inconsistent, with some positive experiences and some areas needing improvement.
The house is praised for its quiet setting and proximity to local attractions like the New Forest and nearby parks. Some guests found it a bit far from Verwood centre, but overall, the location is considered a strong point for exploring the area.
Guests generally found the beds and sofa comfortable, and the house spacious. However, issues such as uncomfortable single beds, lack of proper curtains or blinds, and impractical bathroom layout were mentioned. The property is suitable for families but may not suit those with mobility concerns due to steep stairs.
The kitchen is well-equipped for longer stays, and parking is convenient. However, maintenance issues such as a non-working oven, dripping tap, loose towel rail, and unclear heating instructions were reported. The bathroom floor and lack of window coverings also detracted from the overall experience.
Some guests appreciated small touches like leftover essentials from previous visitors, but these are not guaranteed. There were also reports of out-of-date welcome packs and a lack of local information, suggesting room for improvement in guest communication and thoughtful extras.

Definately not worth what we paid, Bathroom well below par, very poor.Very steep stairs that we were not told about ,being pensioners.The whole house needs a clean, very disappointed to the point that we had had enough and came home a day early.It would be a good idea for people such as yourselves to inspect these places before letting them. If we could get a refund for this we would except.We will not be using your site ever again, very sorry.

The house was clean and tidy. But no towels other than a bath mat and teatime were left for us. I tried to contact the owner and got no reply and left a voicemail and never heard back. The welcome pack left is out of date. Bin collection information was from 2023 and the collection date was the wrong day. The single bed mattress is not comfortable and the blinds in the bedroom let in light and are poorly fitted The music system doesn't work in the living room.Despite this the property is great value and in a very good location to explore Dorset. We particularly loved the park which is only a few minutes walk from the house. My son was able to play football with his Dad while I walked down to the lakes to watch the wildlife. There is also a golf course and activity centre.

Good apartment for three. Ideal location to visit the New Forest. Dining on the terrace is a must.
