While most find it comfortable and well-equipped, a few noted issues with comfort and maintenance. The property is particularly recommended for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the countryside.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have highlighted the property's cleanliness, often giving it top scores. There have been isolated mentions of cleanliness issues, but these are few and do not significantly impact the overall high standard observed by most visitors.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and idyllic, with easy access to local walks, the New Forest, and nearby towns. Some guests mentioned the need to drive to shops and pubs, but this does not detract from the overall appreciation for the property's setting.
Comfort receives positive remarks for the cosy and warm setting, with a comfortable bed and inviting atmosphere. However, there are comments about uncomfortable sofas and issues with heating, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped for guests' needs. Some guests have reported maintenance issues, such as the need for additional heating and soundproofing between adjoining properties, which slightly lowers the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches left by the hosts in the reviews provided. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on the available information, and the score is set to null.
About this property
West Park Farm, in the very pretty, historic village of Rockbourne is part of a working beef and arable farm. You are welcome to explore here - there is a large pond, bluebell wood and occasionally you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks. There is also a hard tennis court, which guests can enjoy, but please bring your own racquets. Next to The Old Cart Shed, Pond View features an open plan living area which has a high raftered ceiling, exposed beams and whitewashed walls. The attractive bedroom has an ornate bed and a lovely French style armoire. Outside there is a patio and a shared lawn beside the pond from which the cottage takes its name.
Rockbourne is a village with a pub and a 12th century church. It has thatched cottages and a willow-bordered stream on the edge of the New Forest, Rockbourne is rich in history with Neolithic and Bronze Age evidence, an Iron Age fort and a Roman villa which is available to visit. Nearby Fordingbridge is well-stocked, a charming place to base your holiday.

Love the tranquillity and location. Fiona and Ed are always very helpful and pleasant . They respond promptly if there are any problems. Never want to leave, especially when the weather has been good.

One small problem, the accommodation is attached to another and sound proofing was totally inadequate between the buildings. We could hear the two gentlemen talking etc. next door quite clearly, fortunately it wasn't a family in there which could have been a lot worse!
