Snaptrip says
Pond View is a well-received cottage in Hampshire, praised for its cleanliness, idyllic location, and friendly hosts. Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, beautiful farm setting, and proximity to local attractions. While most find it comfortable and well-equipped, a few mention minor issues with heating and seating comfort.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests rate the cleanliness highly, with frequent mentions of the property being immaculate. Only one review cited issues with cleanliness, which seems to be an outlier.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to local walks and attractions. However, a couple of reviews mentioned the proximity to other properties and farm vehicles as minor drawbacks.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with positive comments about the bed and the cosy setting. Some guests, however, noted the sofa and heating could be improved for enhanced comfort.
Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Criticisms include the need for additional heating and the lack of a welcome pack, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance and amenities.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately.
About this property
West Park Farm, in the very pretty, historic village of Rockbourne is part of a working beef and arable farm. You are welcome to explore here - there is a large pond, bluebell wood and occasionally you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks. There is also a hard tennis court, which guests can enjoy, but please bring your own racquets. Next to The Old Cart Shed, Pond View features an open plan living area which has a high raftered ceiling, exposed beams and whitewashed walls. The attractive bedroom has an ornate bed and a lovely French style armoire. Outside there is a patio and a shared lawn beside the pond from which the cottage takes its name.
Rockbourne is a village with a pub and a 12th century church. It has thatched cottages and a willow-bordered stream on the edge of the New Forest, Rockbourne is rich in history with Neolithic and Bronze Age evidence, an Iron Age fort and a Roman villa which is available to visit. Nearby Fordingbridge is well-stocked, a charming place to base your holiday.
