Location
We were originally meant to be staying in October but due to a family bereavement we re-arranged to Feb. Communication to do this was great and we have loved having the time together, although short!
Your cottage is beautiful and our two dogs enjoyed their stay too!
Thank you.
Stayed: 24-26 Feb 2023

Had a wonderful week….. Flanders Cottage is a beautiful, well equipped cottage. Thank you for the basket of goodies, it was a lovely gesture.
We have been lucky with the weather and made the most of the pool and eating in the garden. Had fun exploring the local area and enjoyed canoeing with the New Forest Adventures Company.
Even squeezed in a trip over to the IOW for the day.
