“A marvellous, fabulously equipped location to celebrate any special family occasion.”
+All 5 of us appreciated the comfort and excellent modern facilities provided throughout Stride's Barn. Hospitable and informative hosting added to our experience of an iconic, historic and picturesque part of England. For beautiful, varied landscapes and eye-catching wildlife, in my opinion, the New Forest region is supreme.
−Just one constructive tip...better signage?

“Very good but............”
+The location is fantastic, the layout and the facilities are superb. Surrounding countryside and villages are a delight to see
−The outside needs serious attention. The gutters are full of moss, weed, soil, the table and chairs are totally bare of any varnish, the 'outshed' is full of scrap metal items, the grass is over grown, the driveway is full of 'monster potholes'. Real shame as we would love to come back more often in the future.

“A fantastic place to stay - beautiful location and a house that has everything you could need.”
+A lovely spacious barn conversion in a beautiful location. Very helpful hosts and the cottage had everything we needed. We enjoyed a day at Beaulieu, and had good meals in local pubs.
−Nothing!

“Lovely barn great for families”
+The barn was lovely - the main living area light and open and loved having the open space upstairs so the kids could play but you could still hear them easily. Good sized bedrooms and useful they are all ensuite.
−Would be great if they could fill in some of the potholes in the road up to the barn! Some storage in the top floor bedroom would also be useful.

“Lovely property with great facilities”
+Great facilities. Property decor was lovely as was the layout of the property. We were a group of friends so having the three double rooms with an en-suite each was fantastic. Similarly the open plan kitchen/living space was great to have. The hosts were also very helpful.
−Not much! If being very picky it would have been great to have the basics (e.g. milk and sugar, but tea and coffee was there so it wasn’t the end of the world by far). Not expected but always a nice touch! Fantastic property all round.
