19 despite the very variable weather. A very comfortable and well equipped 1st floor apartment with the added bonus of a lift in the well-kept apartment block. Excellent location on the outskirts of the village of Marchwood, alongside the river Test/Southampton Water. Ideal base for exploring the New Forest area and the beautiful coastal area overlooking The Solent and the Isle of Wight. Very much hope to return again. Very helpful owners too.

Quick response when we needed another bed making up. Convenient location in the middle of the places we wanted to go to. Lots of interesting places within a short drive. We particularly liked Eling and the tide mill and Hythe even though the ferry to Southampton wasn't working. There was a very convenient bus into the centre. A very enjoyable holiday.
