Luxury villa for 22 people with pool, jacuzzi, large garden and private pub!

------
Our beautiful Thatch Cottage has 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms of which 5 are en-suite. It has a large, generous garden and borders protected woodland. The center-piece is the stunning, enclosed courtyard with plenty of seating, a large beautiful pool and an 8 person jacuzzi! The property has 2 fully equipped kitchens, a breakfast room, a barn area with dining for 22 people ideal for a celebration dinner. There is also a gas BBQ in the garden. There are 2 wood burning stoves and the house has two lounge areas with large smart TV's and Xbox, which provides plenty of indoor entertainment. A fully equipped utility room with washing machine and dryer makes your holiday a pleasant experience.

We have a garden chalet with a sun terrace that serves as a games room. The chalet has a professional 7 foot slate-bed pool table, darts and outdoor table tennis. We also provide a selection of outdoor games for activities in the large, enclosed garden.

Please note the pool is open approximately May-September. The pool is heated by solar panels and air-source heat pump so the pool temperature is weather dependent. The Jacuzzi is hot and available all year. The pool has a safety cover preventing people falling in the pool. It is easy to use as the cover has an easy automatic opening/closure mechanism. Not only does the cover keep the pool cleaner but also the temperature warmer!

We only provide one set of towels for each person, please bring extra for swimming pool and spa.

In the enclosed courtyard you will find sofas, chairs and sun loungers. In the garden there are plenty of outdoor sitting and eating areas. The large, enclosed garden is an ideal playground for children and pets, and provides plenty of room for outdoor games. In the garden there is a beautiful fish pond with large mature Koi.

Kindly note that we have a minimum stay of 7 nights during the summer period. Shorter stays (minimum 3 nights) are possible from mid-September to mid-April, excluding the holiday season.

We have an on premise fully licensed pub serving local beer and other alcoholic beverages for the private use of our guests. Timo has a Personal License and will open and staff the pub by request. Please ask us for more details.

Being on the Dorset Hampshire border, you have access to lots of pub and restaurant possibilities. For fun family activities, Moors Valley Country Park and Avon Heath Country Park is less than 10 minutes drive away. The award winning Blue Flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole are a 20 minutes drive away. The New Forest with charming Pubs and endless possibilities for walking, cycling and exploring is less than 10 minutes away by car! Follow the New Forest Taste Trails by bike, on foot or on hoof, sampling local ice creams, ploughman's lunches, cream teas and seafood along the way. Paultons Theme Park with Peppa Pig world and Lost Kingdom (Dinosaurs and rides) is also only 30 min away. The charming town of Salisbury and its medieval cathedral and the iconic prehistoric stone circle at Stonehenge is 20 miles away, making it perfect for a day trip!

Some improvements needed
Whilst we had a wonderful weekend with the family and the pool area was very much a highlight. We were very much disappointed by the lack of detail and finesse for the price of the property. We had booked the property to treat and host our family and at times this proved rather difficult and left us feeling incredibly let down. Despite the property accommodating several guests, there were a total of 2 teaspoons and not enough crockery/cutlery to cater the 13 guests we had staying. Whilst the kitchen area was well equipped, it is a rather small space which proved challenging when trying to cater for a large number of guests. This was exacerbated but the distance between the main kitchen and second kitchen area. The ice maker was not working and no dishwashers tablets or coffee pods provided. Similarly, whilst all guests reported their beds to be comfortable, some the of the basics such as adequate sized towels/bath sheets, quality toilet paper and toiletries such as shower gel were not provided. The lighting in the lounge/hall area was pretty poor which at times proved hazardous with the small steps in the hallway. Whilst the host had placed hazard tape on the step, this was incredibly worn and there were a few tumbles over the weekend. We were fortunate to be blessed with nice weather, however when dining outside some of our guests clothes were stained due to the rust on some of the garden furniture. Overall this property did not meet the description or our expectations.

Fabulous!
We booked Thatch Cottage for a family celebration to cater for a party of 16 and were not disappointed. Despite the weather, we had an amazing long weekend, with all ages making full use of the indoor and outdoor space and facilities (especially the games/pool room, bar and swimming pool/jacuzzi). Timo was so helpful throughout and on hand to meet us on arrival. Would have no hesitation recommending this wonderful house.

Lovely property. A few maintenance problems could have been addressed before arrival.e.g rickety hand rail to pool. Also felt a few niceties would have been welcome. E.g a welcome pack,shampoo and coditioner in the bathrooms,considering the overall cost of the property. DDog owners beware of Ticks

No reception or wifi here .....
Lovely place but dreadful if you need to communicate while on vacation. We found some very dirty kitchen items and many broken this & that's. Kitchen lamp not working, bedside light buzzing all night, showers need descaling as do not work properly. Etc ..... could do with a proper check over and upgrade. Also, please don't say you have wifi in here on your advert .... it is intermittent at best so be honest and your customers may not feel cheated into choice as we do .....

We travelled to Thatch Cottage for a three night stay for my 50th birthday extravaganza. The communication with our hosts as excellent and the check-in process was simple. The property is amazing and the facilities were perfect for our needs. The local area is lovely with plenty of things to do for all ages and interests and the property is the perfect base if you just want to relax. Thank you to Susanna, Steven & Timo for making my birthday everything I wanted, and very much needed, after an extremely busy year. I hope you can come back some time and visit again.

Amazing Property for a Family Break
The house and pool were stunning. We chose a beautiful weekend in September and were able to make full use of the amazing pool. The pool area was in full sunshine but there was plenty of umbrellas for shade if needed. There is a lovely mature garden at the back with plenty of both sunshine and shady areas. Having our own pub in the garden was just brilliant and we made good use of this area, even hosting our own pub quiz night! The layout of the house was very unique and the bedrooms were good sizes. Would definitely recommend it!

Excellent family venue
The four generations in the family had an enjoyable time around an amazing pool and courtyard . The dining area with its kitchen worked pretty well with the mezzanine tv room for children and young adults , so everyone was close by . The lounge had plenty of comfortable seating for the evenings which were otherwise spent in the “pub” and its area . The goal net has become a badminton net . . table tennis , pool and table football were all given much use . . The area has much to offer whatever the weather - children’s play park , garden centre , heavy horse centre and more.

Superb property, excellent in every way.
We were a group of 22 family from USA, New Zealand, Australia and UK and we had the most fabulous holiday. The property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We have several cooks in the family and they found the 2 kitchens to be well fitted and equipped. Timo welcomed us and was helpful with any queries we had, as was Susanna with her online replies to questions prior to the visit. She sent us a floor plan of the bedrooms which helped us decide on who went where. The pool, games room and bar were all well used and appreciated, especially having the outside deck to the pub in the garden. There were plenty of pool "toys", noodles etc. All bedrooms and bathrooms were well fitted and beds really comfortable. Would point out for future guests that the stairs to the 3-bed room on the first floor are very steep and only suitable for mobile people to get up! Would love to go back again so will have to find an excuse to get everyone together again. Thank you for helping us have a perfect holiday.

Magical weekend in new forest for my 40th bday
My 20 guests + 6 dogs and I had the best time at The Thatch Cottage. The house was perfect for our big group. We had lovely weather and were able to enjoy the garden, the tennis table, the pool side and lovely walks and activities minutes away from the cottage. Not to mention the cozy evenings by the fireplace! Timo and Gabi were absolute superstars, tending the bar and helping us in the kitchen. The private pub in the garden is such a bonus and a nice touch. I couldn't recommend this place and hosts enough. Thanks a million times again Timo & co
