We had a wonderful stay in the Studio. We went with four families and all had plenty of space and loved the garden, BbQ, hot tub and surrounding forest. Only 15 mins to the beach! Timo the host was great, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

The property is set in fantastic grounds backing onto a woodland area perfect for walks and close to Moors Valley Country Park. We also had a great couple of meals from Luigi the local chef who cooked for us on 2 evenings.

We enjoyed a wonderful few days for our family celebration. Timo was there to welcome us and the property was beautifully furnished, well equipped and clean throughout. We especially loved the beautiful garden, the location with access to the forest and the spacious hot tub. Highly recommended.

A beautiful house, full of character and spacious well equipped garden. We all had a great time and loved the hot tub. Good location for New Forest and beaches. We really enjoyed driving through the forest and seeing so many horses. Very near main road so some road noise but bearable.

A lovely property, ideal for 11 of us from 93 years to 5 years old. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area was perfect for us all to be together. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The hot tub was great, and being able to walk out of the garden gate into the forest was lovely. The fire pit was an added bonus. The property is well placed for visits to the New Forest. Altogether an amazing family Easter.

We visited from the United States. There were 10 in our group and we had plenty of space. It has the look and feel of an old cottage, with all of the modern up to date amenities. The outside grounds were spacious and beautiful!

The studio is even better than it looks in the photos. Superbly equipped with everything you need for a family stay. The hot tub is brilliant too. The location is right by Moors Valley Woods which is excellent. Lots of lovely walks. Timo made us feel very welcome and helped with everything we need and then left us to enjoy a great family weekend. It’s a great entertaining space. We loved it.

The place is lovely, a beautiful holiday home we enjoyed our stay. Very nice grounds and location was perfect the forest just walking distance and the beaches all 15 mins by car so we had best of both worlds. Tim was always on call he communicated well at all times and is very friendly. The house had plenty of useful facilities. We will return

Overall a comfortable house although the three bedrooms in the roof were very small and low. The kitchen was adequate but some detailed instructions for the dishwasher and induction hob would have been very useful. 14 occupants pushes it to its limits, particularly when there are only 13 spoons! Guests should be advised to take there own coat hangers as there is little in the way of wardrobes, only wall/door hooks.

From start to finish excellent communication from Steven and Timo. Great to have support from Timo while we were there as we had a few hiccups with the oven, hob and dishwasher. Modern technology!I hadn’t realised that 2 beds were for small children but fortunately one adult couldn’t make it so the teenager managed to stretch out on his own!We all loved the hot tub and was a great way to start Christmas Day morning. On arrival we were welcomed by Timo and a warm and welcome house decorated for Christmas and 2 log burners burning brightly. We had a lovely family gathering and were able to explore the nearby Blashford Lakes and nature reserve. Great gardens and grounds but better for a spring, summer or autumn break.An interesting marble cast and family history in the house.ThankYou so much ch Steven and Timo.Rosie

Communication right from the start was excellent, couple of questions we had before we arrived were quickly answered and Timo and Steven went out of their way to make the entire garden Puppy safe before we arrived. The house and grounds are wonderful, spacious and spotlessly clean and tidy. Facilities are excellent with gas and charcoal BBQ, hot tub and all the cutlery and tableware you could need. Very modern kitchen. Loads of room for family we had 8 and a dog but room to spread out if you want time on your own. BBQ and patio area are amazing as is the conservatory. Ringwood Forest is just through the gate in garden. Fantastic location for New Forest. Hosts are available but left us to get on and enjoy a great family weekend. Cannot recommend Timo, Steve and the Studio highly enough.

The lounge dining room and kitchen are large and well equipped for a large group. The conservatory although furniture a little tired was all clean and led onto the well established garden. which is equipped with several different sitting places and hot tub which was well maintained and clean. Bedrooms were small with limited storage in some but all were clean as well as all three bathrooms. As a group of eight we had a lovely time and made use of the firepit (plenty of wood was available) for evening meals and drinks, some of us enjoyed the hot tub while the more energetic explored the woodlands that you were able to reach via a path at back of garden. The location was great for exploring local area, Wimbourne Minster with it's model village and railway was a good place to visit with some great places to stop to eat While Bournemouth and New Forest National park only a short drive away.
