Hübsches Haus mit netter Gastgeberin

Dieses hübsche Ferienhaus liegt eingangs des Dorfs Horton und bietet einen weiten Rundum-Blick ins Grüne. Direkt an den Garten angrenzend weidet eine kleine Schafsherde, es gibt Hühner und einen Hund. Bei unserer Ankunft stand ein leckerer Kuchen und ein Blumenstrauß auf dem Tisch für uns bereit, Tee und Milch waren ebenfalls im Vorrat. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und zugleich zurückhaltend. Von Horton aus lassen sich viele Sehenswürdigkeiten wie z. B. Stonehenge, Salisbury, aber natürlich auch die schöne Küste in kurzer Zeit erreichen. Wir haben unsere Urlaubswoche sehr genossen und können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen.

Lovely place in a lovely area

Really nice cottage, friendly and helpful owners, in an area so handy for the local attractions. Saw lots of ponies and the autumn scenery of the New Forest was beautiful. Weather was also kind to us. Would certainly recommend.

We enjoyed out stay at Castle house cottage.

We enjoyed out stay at Castle house cottage. Everything was clean and very comfortable and the owner was friendly and very helpful. Location was great for getting around the lovely county of Dorset and there are shops not too far away so you can get your groceries easily. Lovely cake left by the owner kept us going all week. Hope to visit again at some time in the future. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely position, very helpful and friendly owner

Overlooking open fields, very comfortable and well kept and we would all be very happy to stay there again. An added bonus was the welcoming sponge cake which was excellent and soon consumed, back home and now on a diet!

A great little cottage attached to the owners house with it’s own private drive & parking.

What a sweet little cottage.

What a sweet little cottage. The owners are absolutely lovely, they were thoughtful and generous in providing a cake to welcome us. The house was once, we think, an annex to the main house. It's very basic, but has everything you could need. We were very comfortable here for a long weekend as two adults and two children (aged 5 and 7) and our dog!
