Lovely cottage & garden. 5 min drive from Paultons Park, home of Peppa Pig
Thimble Cottage sleeps up to 6 guests plus 2 babies. It is a delightful holiday cottage that provides the best of old world charm combined with modern convenience, offering spacious accomodation with character and style.
This pretty 17th century thatched cottage is furnished to a high standard with 2 living rooms and plenty of comfortable seating.
It is our family holiday home. We also have lots of things young children require including toys which reduces what you need to bring. We also have a well equipped kitchen so cooking at the cottage is easy and we also have need a bean to cup coffee machine. There is a dinning table which seats six and two high chairs.
The garden is large and fully enclosed with two seating areas and a gas BBQ.
Located just north of Lyndhurst we are just 5 mins drive from Paultons Park, the home of Peppa Pig world and a 25 min drive (at the right time of day) from the beach at Mudeford. Obviously there are also all the activites of The Forest itself including walks, cycle paths and pubs.
Please note due to insurance restrictions the wood burner is not available for guests to use.
We loved our time at this charming home! From the fairy tale garden to the comfortable spaces, it is everything us Americans imagine for a typical English countryside home. Malcolm and Tina were wonderful hosts, they went above and beyond when we encountered a minor medical problem, and we enjoyed visiting with them and hearing their experiences of a lifetime in the area. We enjoyed our visit so much, we are already planning a return!
Lovely unique property, nicely decorated and presented. Clean with comfortable beds and pristine bedding. A few wonky bits, areas in need of paint and chips in walls etc due to everyday living.Pretty, secluded garden, in slight need of trimming, pruning and cutting back when we were there, but very pleasant and private with a view of the fields at the back. A few near misses to the head with apples falling from trees whilst we were sitting outside - but all part of the charm!!We had an evening of laughs playing board games left in the cupboard.We were out most of the time, but if the weather had been bad we could have easily stayed in - especially with a separate living room and another lounging area off the kitchen and dining room. If you're tall you will have to mind your head in the older part of the house as you'd expect in a building so old - and the creaky floors upstairs front.Very good quality fittings and kitchen appliances.Modern bathroom and downstairs toilet. There is also a shower in the utility room which we didn't use.In an attractive, good location, in an area with plenty to do. We visited Highcliffe Castle, with is own beach and took the little ferry to and from Hurst Fort out on the headland. Good communication with the host and the next-door key code holder.
Check in was easy. Kitchen was ok. The house smelt musty especially in the wardrobes in the front bedroom so had to leave the doors open. Beds were comfortable.
Did not match photographs on booking site. Property looked tired from the outside. Description of second bathroom downstairs misleading when in fact is shower plus basin in utility room and second toilet is in cupboard in lounge.
Wardrobes in front bedroom smelt musty.
Cleaning not to a great standard. Many cobwebs for example throughout property.
Garden needs maintenance although could be very nice with a little more tlc.
Some kitchen utensils need proper cleaning
Finally we had a maintenance man turn up unannounced and not requested to fix a tap. Although he was very nice and efficient if he had turned up whilst my wife was alone as she was on one afternoon this could have been intimidating.
On the plus side, heating and hot water always available
Bedding and beds excellent
Overall I feel that the property is vastly overpriced for what it is and feel more attention needs to be paid to its overall presentation
My friends and I had a wonderful stay here. Beautiful garden, clean and comfortable interior, great spaces for socializing and cooking. Well equipped! Ample parking. Great position for exploring. Would love to come back again with my children as it has everything you need for little ones too.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
