About this property
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.

We had a fantastic time in this gorgeous property, it was a perfect weekend! Everything was super easy with check in, there was clear communication throughout and the house was very clean and organised.Thank you for having us.
Excellent property - the hosts thought of everything to ensure our stay was smooth! The cottage was ideal for hosting our party which was a mix of ages! Ample space and multiple bathrooms so no one was waiting around. It was particular suitable for elderly parents and kids with majority of bedrooms on the ground floor. The pool and hot tub (at perfect temperatures!) was a particular highlight of our stay not to mention the games room! Communication from the host was spot on!
This property was perfect for our needs, it felt like a home from home. This was a family get together (10 adults, 9 children) and there was plenty of space for everyone with enough break out areas. The pool was fantastic given our trip coincided with the heatwave! The garden is beautiful with plenty of shade and the games room and bar were great bonuses! Timo was on hand for any queries, which we were grateful for. Really couldn't fault the property, we had a fabulous time and will be going back
Brilliant place to stay in the edge of the new forest; fantastic property with great amenities, including pool table, table tennis, bar and vest of all an outdoor pool with hot tub. Plenty of space for our large family group plus dog, with loads to do. Highly recommend this place
20 of us, aged between 75 and 8, stayed for a long weekend. It was the perfect location to house all of us, with plenty of space and activities for all, despite the biblical rain. We all loved it and will definitely return again one day!
Adored staying at Thatch Cottage. I was hosting 9 guys on a fitness and wellbeing retreat and it worked perfectly for that purpose. And how often do you get to stay in a Thatch Cottage with a swimming pool in the middle?!
Nine adults and 6 young children all had a great time. Only one day warm enough for the pool but lots to do locally for kids and within an hours drive. House very well provisioned and wanting for nothing except very localised WiFi. Would go back.
What a fabulous time we all had staying here. Everyone in our family group which included children, teens and adults had the best time. The property is thoughtfully set up for large groups and had everything we needed to make our stay a magical one we will remember. Communication both before and during our stay was prompt and helpful. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable holiday in a beautiful property.
Excellent stay with a large group of friends beautiful pool and hot tub. Facilities were great a big table to share meals with plenty of utensils. Great location. Timo ensured we settled in a don call if needed. Highly recommend thank you Timo
House was lovely and clean - all towels essentials included. Was able to check in earlier than planned so added bonus, Timo on hand if any problems. Feel like the house could be modernised in some areas, modern bathrooms but some bedrooms dated and uncomfortable beds.
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.
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.
Beautiful thatched cottage, large enough to accommodate 4 generations over the Christmas period. Great communication with the property manager, always very responsive and willing to call round and answer any questions. Easy access to the hot tub was especially appreciated. Location of the property is excellent to access activities without a long drive. We stayed 11 days and didn't run out of things to do and places to visit. Generally furnished to a high standard, but perhpas a couple of the beds could benefit from replacement mattresses. We visited in Winter and could see how special this property would be in the summertime. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.
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!
We had a weekend at this property to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. There were 10 adults and 4 dogs.We had a fabulous time. The property is beautiful, plenty of space for us all, a wonderful enclosed garden for the dogs, the weather was great so we were able to use the pool and hot tub. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The hosts were great at communicating with us, and Timo was extremely helpful and easy going.We didn't want to leave and would certainly hope to return again. Highly recommended.

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.
We booked the property to celebrate my Mother in law's 80th birthday and it couldnt have been any better. The sizeable property had everything we needed along with plenty of space for our party of 21 to spread out. The hot tub was a real hit with everyone and the games room fired up the competitve spirit in some. We had fabulous weather for the weekend we were there at the beginning of March, but not warm enough to use the pool! We were able to get out and about in the local area and recommend the Moors Valley Country Park, especially if you have children as there is lots to do to wear them out. Catering wise, we had a very goodmeal at the Three Legged Cross pub, which is 1 mile from the property, so easily walkable. the 2nd night we cooked in the house which was easy thanks to the great stock of pots and pans and the multiple ovens. On the final night we had a takeaway delivered in, from one of the nearest towns. A final mention goes to Timo who was an excellent host, there to let us in and show us around. In contact throughout to check that all was satisfactory and whether we needed anything. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a large property for a group holiday or special celebration. I hope to return one day and use the pool!

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.
The facilities offered by the Thatched Cottage are excellent. The pool area was fantastic and much enjoyed by the whole of our 3 generation family. The house was huge and there were plenty of areas around the property to sit and relax and eat together.
The whole experience was wonderful. The pool, although cold was well used, followed by a dip in the hot tub. The little private pub was a hit, along with the games room. A beautiful venue for special ocasions. Comfortable rooms, lovely grounds and helpful hosts. Altogether amazing.
We held my daughters Hen here & it was absolutely perfect. The cotrage allows people to be together or have some time on their own. The pool & hot tub were fab. The only thing I would say the step in & out of the pool is steep but the handle helps you with that. We didn't think we would use the pub but actually we went down there & played games & it was such fun. The beds were comfortable & the shower was hot & powerful. I would recommend Luigi too, he comes to the house & prepares, cooks, serves & cleans up. The food was amazing. I had good communication with Susanna & Timo met us there & was very helpful.Whether you are a family gathering together or a party, stag/hen this cottage will enhance your stay. Book & enjoy
