    “Upon arrival we parked and got inside.”

    The property looked lovely and we were happy to be there. Lovely rooms on first impressions. Sadly no logs! And surprised to not find even a pint of milk, a welcome note, and tea or coffee. Many places we’ve visited leave at least milk and tea. We did go and buy this but it was a shame after a long journey to have to go out again for essentials.

    The property looked lovely and we were happy to be there. Lovely rooms on first impressions. Sadly no logs! And surprised to not find even a pint of milk, a welcome note, and tea or coffee. Many places we’ve visited leave at least milk and tea. We did go and buy this but it was a shame after a long journey to have to go out again for essentials. Regarding the lack of logs - it said there would be logs in the basket provided. as there were not we read the property booklet and we’re encouraged to contact Chloe with any concerns, as soon as possible (which for us was the first evening upon arrival - thurs 19/2/26) and we had hoped for a reply that evening, or at least during our stay. The owner did not reply. We did not get logs. The owner had a chance to resolve the issue via communication and to help us enjoy our stay, and with it being Winter and the area had some flooding nearby, it being also cold and wet, we would have enjoyed the opportunity to have an evening fire. Also it remained one of the reasons for choosing our stay at 36 High street. Very disappointing. The empty log basket image was sent to the owner. Another issue was the oven housing door above the oven in the kitchen. It was broken and must have been for some time, as the door stay was missing and the door was not secure, and could have fallen at any time from the height it is. The image of the housing was sent to the owner. The pink bedroom was droughty with the windows and loud from cars/ traffic passing by. The loft room was wonderful. The garden was not maintained to the level we saw in the Sykes pictures, and so we were disappointed by this - as this again was a reason we booked the property; to be able to sit outside. Weeds and dead plants were by the seating and it was clear to us that the garden had not been looked after for a while. This property is a lovely place but that the turnaround team don’t do maintenance. Two plant pots in the bathroom were just soil with no plants in. Two further plants were wilted, so I watered them and one perked up instantly. One had a broken stem. We would like to stay again and would hope this feedback be of help, esp with regard to improved contact with the owner when required.

The property

Nestled betwixt the New Forest National Park and Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Beauty is the wonderful village of Downton, where Villa Rosa lies.

Resting opposite a fabulous pub for home-cooked meals and settled amongst thatched cottages, this Grade II cottage is a wonderful base for a family or two couples looking to explore this picture-perfect village.

Park at the rear of the property to discover two private parking spaces to leave your vehicle and move your luggage inside with ease.

Enter into the tastefully fitted kitchen/diner, here the designated chef can rustle up heart-warming dishes in the electric oven and hob, and a dishwasher can assist with the cleaning up.

Settle down at the rustic dining table and tuck-in to a feast as you chat about the events of the day.

Stepping through the home, find the characterful sitting room, hosting exposed beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace home to a toasty woodburning stove, as well as a plush sofa to enjoy a movie night in.

As the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first floor to indulge in a soak amongst the bubbles in the bathroom and there is an overhead shower to rinse off.

On the first floor you will find a pretty double bedroom with a dressing area and furniture.

Venture up to the second floor to reach the king-size bedroom, with sloped ceilings for an intimate feel and white-washed for a refreshing ambiance.

In the morning, gather in the kitchen/diner to make use of the fantastic facilities to conjure a delicious breakfast or head across the road to soak in the village and treat your loved ones to dining out.

Lace up your walking boots and explore the ancient banks of Langley Wood National Nature Reserve for a quaint stroll or immerse yourself in the Elizabethan manor house of Breamore House and enjoy the pretty tearooms.

Jump in the car and visit the beautiful city of Salisbury, home to a magnificent cathedral with a museum to unveil the history of the city and a fun Escape Rooms to enjoy.

Explore the riverside town of Fordingbridge, where you can fuel your excursions at a restaurant with riverside views, walk over the medieval bridge and rummage round a handful of gift shops for a souvenir.

For a memorable escape to a quintessentially British village, choose 36 High Street.
