Very quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful setting with the trainline and running steam traisn going by daily. Staff were attentive and moved us when we had a little issue in the first cottage
There was a very annoying noise with the water pressure, possibly air trapped in the pipes, we were woken up through the night with the kitchen tap switching itself on. Whenever we used the upstairs toilet or shower the taps in the kitchen would switch on so we had to leave these running while using the facilities. Then half way through the trip we used the dishwasher for the first time and it flooded the kitchen. We called site to advise and they moved us to new cottage which was lovely of them.

The location was fabulous, just a moment away from the platform at Ropley (and the miniature railway!). The facilities in the accommodation were great - from the Utility Room to the kitchen! The rooms were an excellent size, perfect for a short or long break. We will be back!
A couple of minor issues with the shower and a sofa pillow, but very tiny issues - I've only mentioned them because this review asks for negatives too! Everything was fabulous - highly recommended!

Location was very good and easy to find. Clean tidy and generally good facilities.
Outside lights were faulty and made it difficult to follow the path to 'Medstead'. The steps were staff only but improving these would make access to some of the lodges much easier. In the lodge the bedside wall lights are very difficult to find in the dark and a bedside lamp would be better. An en-suite for one of the rooms would be useful, but recognise this is a major re-vamp

Accommodation was perfect for us and down stairs was spacious for 2 dogs. Plenty of natural light, lovely and warm. Beautiful views from every window. Very dog friendly. Kitchen had everything we needed. In an amazing location too., close to Winchester for Christmas markets and plenty of dog walks . Communication was great with the host.

Location was great. right next to the heritage railway line , loved watching the steam trains. All mod coms,, small amount of tea, coffee etc provided for arrival plus a bottle of fizz and some biscuits. would come back again.
would have liked a mirror and clothes rail in the twin room. also prvious occupants left lots of cigarette buts all round the outside and even an empty packet on the bbq, did not inspire us to use it.

The lodges are self catering so we brought our own food. There was some tea, milk, sugar and coffee provided and also a bottle of Prosecco and some biscuits. They also provided two dishwasher tablets, a sponge, a cleaning cloth, tea towel and washing up liquid and towels. Loved that it was close to the railway and could just go on the platforms as and when you liked. The shower was great and worked well.
There weren't any ovan gloves which I thought strange as looked everywhere for them. The matress in the room where the doubled bed was, was uncomforable as was very low. You could feel the springs in your back, so could do with a matress topper.

Great location right next to the Watercress line The accommodation was very clean although looking slightly tired in places. Overall it was difficult to fault the accommodation and had a very well equipped kitchen. The accommodation was very spacious throughout.
There isn't enough parking for the accommodation available and the small car park provided was always full especially during the day. There seemed to be a lot of contractors vans parking there which meant that anyone staying in the cottages had nowhere to park so had to park some distance away.

This was a great find and perfect for our short stay. We were able to bring my family over to the Lodge for lunch and dinner and eat in comfort inside and out. The Lodge had EVERYTHING necessary to support us for the stay. The Staff had clearly thought about every aspect of living comfortably with an ample supply of even rudimentary items. The kitchen was superbly equipped with top quality crockery and utensils. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, nicely located close to a heritage railway station that operates trains during daylight hours only so no noise overnight to worry about. The location is a great jumping off point for a wide range of local attractions or places of interest for the whole family, young or old. We will definitely return to this property in the future.
The external lighting around the property did not appear to work although we were aware of ongoing maintenance work which may be a contributory factor. The lighting is there it just did not function well. Other than that, everything else was absolutely fine.

Good location for us as it was near where our daughter lives, and although quiet when we visited out of season you could tell the campsite would be lively in summer with the steam train and station close by the house layout really suited us and kitchen was well equipped.
Seemed like an ongoing issue with the shower that may have been just been in the process of being addressed decoration still to be done otherwise fine

The chalet was a really good size and proportions. It was exceptionally clean. The location was perfect! Any Harry Potter fans will wish to walk onto 'Harry Potter Bridge ' which can be seen from the property and is about a one minute walk.The property is next to Ropley Station on the Watercress line.
