Rollestone New Forest (HOT TUB)

Clean, beautiful view and location, comfortable beds

We had a lovely stay at Rollerston as a family. The property was very spacious and well laid out for a family and we especially enjoyed the peaceful setting and glorious view. There is a corner shop at the end of the road which is very well stocked for essentials, two pubs very close by and the property is right on the edge of the forest, so perfectly placed for beautiful walks. We were a party of six adults, two infants and dogs and the place worked very well for us...would stay again.

There were a few things to note/that would have made our stay even better: The bins outside were full when we arrived and no instructions about putting them out or when bin day was so we had to leave rubbish bags piled up when we left too - not ideal in hot weather! Kitchen was missing a peeler and corkscrew and there were only three flutes for fizz. It would be useful to have a couple more medium- large saucepans, especially if there were 8-10 guests. I mention these things as they're easily and cheaply rectified. There's no BBQ which seems an odd omission. The sunloungers pictured in the details were not there - they have been damaged but assume they will be replaced as they would be nice to have. The dining table and outside seating was fine for our party of six, but there would not be enough room for 10. Be aware of the extra charge for the hot tub (it's mentioned in the small print but I thought it was included as stated in the title of the listing, so didn't realise it is £50 extra until I received the pre-arrival info). We were unlucky in that the hot tub wasn't working when we arrived. The hosts offered a refund but we were keen to be able to use it (part of the reason for booking this property). They did get someone to sort it it out on the third day of our stay so we were able to use for the remaining two days. The double bed was very soft (personal preference I know) but the room is big and it would be even better if replaced with a king bed.

The space and the hot tub was amazing Was great for everyone to have own bedroom, love the outside space

Nothing really

Lovely spacious accomodation Fantastic views Good location Easy parking Large kitchen

The additional charge for the hot tub had not been made clear until the booking was no longer refundable. This should be clear in the title of the property and whether wanted or not discussed at booking stage. Could have been cleaner - there were toe nail clippings on the rug in the downstairs toilet.
