Relaxing and ideal for a weekend getaway with close friends – Holly from United Kingdom (9/10)
Good location close to the marina and main high street. The cottage is close to additional free parking which was good as our group had two cars. The property also has a free forest parking card so we could drive out to Beaulieu for walks too.
