Sway Rental August

Lovely, spacious property. Nice outdoor area in back garden with conservatory. Good facilities such as a dishwasher, washing machine and drier. Very well-equipped with both utensils to cleaning products to games and TV/video.Great umbrella shower and crisp, clean bed linen. Situated well as easy to get to Lymington to the ferry for the Isle of Wight, Highcliffe beach and there is a train-line to Bournemouth and Southampton. The only thing which needs improving is the garden chairs as they were a bit dodgy and need checking. We didn't actually have to have any communication with the owner but all access/ TV/WiFi and washing machine info was all easily accessible which was brilliant. Would definitely rent this property again. Highly recommended.

The best holiday so far...

My husband's first comment when we opened the front door was 'This place is like a tardis!' Woodfearn is large, lovely and extremely comfortable. Well-equipped and very versatile, easily accommodating five adults, two dogs and a family get-together of another fifteen people. The garden and patio area are ideal for outdoor eating , and the lack of light pollution in Sway means that you can enjoy some stargazing too. As well as highly recommending the house and grounds, we found that Sway is a lovely little village too. Sway butchers and the Sway Deli and Cafe have a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian products. The Plough Inn, and Hare and Hounds are local and have great menus. Further afield is the Needles Eye Cafe in Milford, the Gun at Keyhaven and The Larder in Lymington. Highlights of the holiday; paddleboarding in Keyhaven and a day's sailing from Lymington with Escape Yachting. It was a wrench to pack up and leave yesterday. Thank you.

Our second stay

Large, comfortable, well equipped house with a very helpful owner in a great location for seeing the New Forest and coast. We stayed a couple of years ago and couldn’t find anything better when we wanted to come to The New Forest again this year with our baby and 2 year old so we had a second enjoyable stay here.

Great base for exploring

Nice location, beds very comfy. Found quite a lot of the double glazing hard to open and shut. Two of the bedroom doors would not close and kept banging open and shut whenever we had a window open which was very annoying. A full size ironing board and some more pegs would have been useful as well as there was only a small table top ironing board. Great place to stay to explore the new forest.

Great family accommodation

Lovely spacious property in a quiet neighbourhood but in the heart of the forest and about 20 minutes to the sea. Good local pub within walking distance. This house needs a little maintenance and has a nostalgic 80’s feel to it, though the appliances are very up-to-date. It is very comfortable and has a lovely outdoor dining area and beautifully planted rear garden full of unusual bushes, shrubs and flowers. We ranged in age from 9 months to 90 years and all of us loved it here. Thank you Helen for a perfect family break.
