About this property

------
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.

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

Very well presented every room finished to a high standard. A lovely place to stay.

We rented the Thatch for the weekend fri-mon as a large family group in order to celebrate our Mothers 70th Birthday. We filled it to capacity and and could not have been more happy, Even though all the rooms were filled there was still enough space that it didn't feel at all cramped. The multiple kitchens and equipment allowed us all to eat together which is really important, and even though the weather wasn't fantastic there was a real cozy atmosphere with the log burners adding to the overall feel. The Hot tub and pool were absolutely fantastic and were well used over the weekend. Timo who oversees the day to day running couldn't of been more helpful and kindly opened the Outside Pub on Friday night with the offer to open up at any point across the weekend. The owners of the Thatch should be very proud of what they have achieved in creating a holiday home which is so warm and inviting I would highly recommend it and thank Everyone in involved in the running of the cottage for allowing us a place where as a family we could create so many wonderful memories.

Fab-U-Lous

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.

About the host

Hosted by Susanna & Steven

We are Susanna and Steven and we are owners of the Thatch Cottage. Timo, Steven’s son, runs the Thatch Cottage on a day-to-day basis.

Our family has worked in the self catering industry for over 35 years. We live only a 10 minutes drive away and we are onsite to welcome guests personally. We also supervise the changeovers and assist on any matters that may arise during your stay.

Why they chose this property

When we found the Thatch Cottage B&B in 2016 with its courtyard, heated pool, with many rooms, ensuite bathrooms and private on-premise pub, we knew we had found something special. We immediately fell in love with the place and decided to launch a large group and family holiday proposition. Over a year we painstakingly transformed the property to create a single large group holiday experience. Our vision was to create the perfect place for a get-to-gether with family and friends, blending a traditional English cottage with modern comfort. Central to the vision was a place where a large group of different ages could come together, providing rooms and space for everyone to be able to have their own space. We continue to invest in the property to continuously improve the holiday experience.

Please come and create new and wonderful memories at our stunning property!

What makes this property unique

The centre-piece of the property is the lovely courtyard which provides a real Mediterranean look and feel. You can find a 14 meter heated pool, an 8 person Jacuzzi and plenty of seating areas. The enclosed courtyard provides privacy and it is a real suntrap that offers a wonderful relaxing area throughout the year.

The "Barn" provides dining for the whole party of 22. It opens directly on to the pool and terrace area.

At the back of the property we have additional terraces in Italian porcelain, with views into the spacious and enclosed private garden, which backs onto Conservation Woodland of mature oaks. The garden provides plenty of space for outdoor games and activities for children and adults. We also have a pond with residential Koi fish!

Unique to the self catering market we offer an English pub which is opened for guests of the Thatch Cottage upon request. Timo who runs the day to day operations will be happy to serve you refreshing beer or wine at the bar or at the outdoor tables.

We have also an Antigua cabin for the garden which houses a professional pool table - we have located this near to the pub to deliver another new focal point for the family holiday.
