Tranquility, In grounds of Dower house on large country estate in the Candover's

My wife and I stayed at the cottage for two weeks. The pictures and description of the cottage and area were accurate. We really liked the Hampshire/Candover area, which is beautiful for hiking and touring around. Peter was very enjoyable and helpful. When the microwave broke down, he arranged for an immediate replacement the next day. The house and garden provided great privacy, with only the sound of birds, the occasional deer and other wild animals. Almost every day, we used the tennis court for our morning workout. The court surface is a bit worn, but good enough to play and very nicely located on the premises. In other words, we can warmly recommend a stay at the cottage in the grounds of Dower House.

This cottage has a lovely bird filled garden and many beautiful walks on the doorstep. Very quiet. The kitchen could use a better pots and pans, with lids that fit, and more cereal bowls. Very comfy bed.

Peter was an exceptional host and the cottage location was perfect - tranquil but yet close enough to everything we needed. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

The host was welcoming and the location is amazing but the house needs a little work. The house was very cold and the host had suppled electric heaters which helped a little. But the timings that were set on the central heating were too late and turned off to early at night. I did speak to the host and he took this on board. The house could do with a insulating which would help with the coldness and a thick curtain at the door would make a massive difference to the draft that comes down the corridor. My older kids liked going into woods at night to investigate and the dog loved the field.The kitchen could do with some good wine glasses, mugs and serving spoons. Some bowls for cereal as there was only three soup bowls which are quite shallow. The TV isn't a smart TV and could do with an upgrade we did take our fire stick but there is no port for it.
