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.

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.

Being on the Dorset Hampshire border, you have access to lots of pub and restaurant possibilities. For fun family activities, Moors Valley Country Park and Avon Heath Country Park is less than 10 minutes drive away. The award winning Blue Flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole are a 20 minutes drive away. The New Forest with charming Pubs and endless possibilities for walking, cycling and exploring is less than 10 minutes away by car! Follow the New Forest Taste Trails by bike, on foot or on hoof, sampling local ice creams, ploughman's lunches, cream teas and seafood along the way. Paultons Theme Park with Peppa Pig world and Lost Kingdom (Dinosaurs and rides) is also only 30 min away. The charming town of Salisbury and its medieval cathedral and the iconic prehistoric stone circle at Stonehenge is 20 miles away, making it perfect for a day trip!

Such an incredible stay
Just the most wonderful villa complex. Its own little world: pool, jacuzzi, giant communal kitchen and dining area, its own pub, pool table, table tennis - the list goes on. Timo was so helpful and very responsive. I booked for the annual Spring Cottage trip for me and my 18 friends (and 3 children) and it was the best in its 15 yesr history.

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.

Fantastic venue for a 50th Birthday!
This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The Thatch Cottage is a lovely location to relax with friends for a weekend of birthday celebrations. The games room, pub and hot tub kept us occupied. The kitchen was well equipped and a great social space to gather in. The sitting room is also laid out to be a cosy social space. There were enough bedrooms for 13 adults to sleep comfortably with 6 being ensuite. We would definitely recommend and so would our guests.

Amazing Property for a Family Break
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!

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

We housed our entire family (ages 4 to 87) for a wonderful Christmas week. Even though we couldn’t enjoy the pool (winter) everything worked a treat. Timo was always on hand to answer a question or provide assistance (with a smile). I would love to see how it works in the summer. Thank you for accommodating us.

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.

No reception or wifi here .....
Lovely place but dreadful if you need to communicate while on vacation. We found some very dirty kitchen items and many broken this & that's. Kitchen lamp not working, bedside light buzzing all night, showers need descaling as do not work properly. Etc ..... could do with a proper check over and upgrade. Also, please don't say you have wifi in here on your advert .... it is intermittent at best so be honest and your customers may not feel cheated into choice as we do .....

Wonderful, Home from Home
We spent a winter weekend at this beautiful and comfortable house next to the new forest. Despite the very wet weather, we managed a couple of walks, one where we saw wild horses and gorgeous countryside. Susanna & Steven are very flexible and informative hosts and Timo, their property manager, was always very helpful and readily contactable if there were questions that needed answering. It's a very cosy house with two fully functioning fire places which kept the house nice and snug. Two fully equipped kitchens, including a Nespresso machine which we weren't expecting so was a nice surprise. All in all, a very memorable weekend and would highly recommend it to either a few families together or to a large group of family and friends. Maybe we'll come back some day in the summer so we can experience the lovely pool area.

What a place!
This property is truly incredible. We were a mixed-age hen party of 21, and everyone was completely blown away by the charm and practicality of the house. It’s huge, it’s quirky, every little detail has been thought of - we cam laden with spare essentials (dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll etc) but we needn’t have bothered. Everything we could possibly need was there. Timo was exceptionally helpful and responsive to any issues, and walking in to roaring fires on a cold February day was such a lovely touch. Could not have asked for a better house for a large group, just sad we didn’t come in summer! We hope to find reason to come back soon, and I’m sure there will be bookings from the other hens as well! Thank you so much

Superb property, excellent in every way.
We were a group of 22 family from USA, New Zealand, Australia and UK and we had the most fabulous holiday. The property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We have several cooks in the family and they found the 2 kitchens to be well fitted and equipped. Timo welcomed us and was helpful with any queries we had, as was Susanna with her online replies to questions prior to the visit. She sent us a floor plan of the bedrooms which helped us decide on who went where. The pool, games room and bar were all well used and appreciated, especially having the outside deck to the pub in the garden. There were plenty of pool "toys", noodles etc. All bedrooms and bathrooms were well fitted and beds really comfortable. Would point out for future guests that the stairs to the 3-bed room on the first floor are very steep and only suitable for mobile people to get up! Would love to go back again so will have to find an excuse to get everyone together again. Thank you for helping us have a perfect holiday.
