Bailey Cottage Reviews

Adriana

We loved our stay at Bailey Cottage comfortable, spacious, clean and with lots of entertainment for all ages. We would highly recommend it and would love to return in the future. Thanks

Stuart

We really loved our stay at Bailey Cottage. We especially loved the garden and downstairs kitchendiningliving space which is definitely a showcase on how to build an extension the right way. The addition of a pool table, games, toys and plenty of books was a pleasant surprise to keep our little ones occupied. It's also in a great location with a short walk to the river and a nearby picturesque pub that does excellent food. I had to take a few marks off facilities and maintenance as we noticed watermarks on the ceiling beneath the family bathroom, suggesting the shower tray is leaking you can see the silicone sealant is failing, and there were quite a few bulbs that needed replacing all physically marked with an X but yet to be replaced for our visit. Having said that, we would stay again.

Nicholas

This was our second time staying at Bailey Cottage, and I'm delighted to say it was every bit as good as the first, see my April 2023 review. We would not hesitate to recommend this charming property.

Christina

The cottage was a great place for my kids and I to stay and we found it very spacious and comfy

This character property has been sympathetically extended and offers spacious accomodation for a large family. The high vaulted kitchendining living area is a real WOW factor but attracts flies and is difficult to keep clean. The smoke alarms need sorting out. Cooker and fridgefreezer are excellent, with lots of crockery, cutlery and storage. Beds are comfortable, bedrooms are light and bright although another ensuite would not have gone amiss for the rental value. Our granddaughter loved all the children's books and gamestoys available. We were surprised at how close the train station was but the garden screening made it very private and noise was not a problem for us. Bear in mind it could be for other families though. All in all, a lovely holiday home in a good location.

Well positioned for exploring the local area with easy access to local walks. Supermarkets, pubs and shops all within easy reach. Very well appointed accommodation with lots to do for all members of the family!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. It really is like a home from home, clean, well kept, lovely decor and everything youll need for a get away. I cant speak highly enough about Bailey cottage, and the communication with James owner was perfect. This is clearly somebody who cares about giving people the best stay possible. Many thanks again for a great stay. Id definitely go back !

Kathleen

Enjoyed long birthday weekend at Bailey. Lovely walks around Old Burseldon, along river, down to Manor Farm. House garden quite private.

Vishali

Everything about our stay was amazing and we absolutely loved our home away from home for the weekend, thanks so much!

Natalie

We hired the cottage for a week in May 2023 and it was absolutely brilliant. Its a beautiful cottage set back from bursledon train station. It has everything you need, including a bbq, hot tub, games room and pool table. The kitchen was stunning and catered for ten of us very comfortably. I would highly recommend staying here. The host James was fantastic and available if needed. We had the best holiday here, thank you so much! Natalie and Paul

Lovely house very well equipped. Loved the hot tub. Would definitely go again.

We had a lovely stay at Bailey Cottage, the property was fantastic. Its in a perfect position, pubs within walking distance and some lovely dog walks within a short drive. It has a huge open plan kitchen area with everything you need, the games room is a great addition and occupied the children on a rainy day. Decent showers and comfortable beds. We can definitely recommend this property for a lovely family break away.

Simply brilliant

What a stay. A wonderful property surrounded by walks and a great base for exploring further a field. The Mary Rose at Portsmouth a must! The property itself is very well kitted out with exceptional spaces for spending time with Family. Definitely a place for celebrations.

Cheryl

It was a great house to stay in plenty of space for us all and very comfy. Decor was very relaxing and the outdoor space was lovely to relax. The 3 days we stayed felt like a week as we all felt at home.

Nicholas

Bailey Cottage was clean and spacious. The tasteful extension to the lovely original house was a great family focal point. Plenty of parking, but if you don't want to drive, the railway station is literally on your doorstep, although the trains are never intrusive. With a games room, hot tub, wood burner and a secure garden for our Westie to roam in it was winwin! Highly recommended.

Hilary

Three generations spent a super week in this lovely cottage. The open plan kitchen,dining and sitting room is so well designed. My absolute favourite area was the square dining table placed by the windows and large enough to seat ten adults. The pool table and the hot tub were popular with the family. Great walk in the area. We had several visits to The Jolly Sailor, enjoying the food, drinks and views. Thank you to James for the generous welcome hamper and the Easter eggs, what a treat.

What a fabulous house we couldnt fault it. It is really spacious and well decorated with lots of games and great pool table for the kids. The open space nature works brilliantly for a large group and the hosts we fantastic, leaving a few extra special touches such as a welcome hamper. We would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This is such a delightful property that offers so much and more, the accommodation is sublime so roomy and cosy that allows for all aspectsrooms to be used together or independently the hot tub is a wonderful addition as it allows total relaxation and allows you to bring both the indoor space out and vice verse. We had great fun utilising the games room and the various board games available we would highly recommend to any families, groups, etc

The house and location are absolutely awesome. Loads of space with fab features like hot tub, Aga oven and speaker system. The kitchen dimensions are really sociable with lovely user friendly table and island. The place is bright and the garden gives you privacy whilst being close to transport links. We were abit disappointed with the level of cleanliness with dust and dirt visible to the eye. We were also short on some essentials like loo roll and washing up sponge which created unnecessary stress for us who just wanted to focus on being together and having fun. The beds are fine but Id bring my own pillow and duvet next time. but thats probably just personal choice. A perfect spot to get away to, just needs a tiny bit more attention to detail and would be the ultimate getaway.

Joanna

We had such a lovely week at Bailey cottage, it really did cater for all the generations of our family stay. We made full use of the hot tub, games room, games consoles and my little boy loved exploring all the toys. So much to explore locally with all the country parks, train on the doorstep, and pub within walking distance, we hope to be back!

Christine

Had a fabulous few days at this cottage, couldnt fault it at all, had everything we needed, was clean and had some lovely touches to make it feel homely. The games room was a big hit as was the hot tub too. Everything was just so spacious and smart, really enjoyed our time here as a family and would most definitely recommend.

Michelle

We had a wonderful girly weekend at Baileys Cottage. The service was amazing from start to finish. The house was more beautiful than we imagined. We received a lovely welcome hamper upon arrival and exchanged a few friendly messages with the owner before the visit. The kitchen was our favourite room where we danced, sang, chatted and laughed all night long. Thank you for opening your house for us to create some wonderful memories.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely location. We spent Christmas there and had a wonderful time. The owners were very helpful. Parking is easy. We didnt use the hot tub. The facilities at the cottage were really good everything in full working order. The garden was contained so the dog could be let out safely.

We had a lovely weekend stay at Bailey Cottage. The owners are very helpful with great communication. The cottage itself felt very festive with a log fire and Christmas decorations. The downstairs of the property works excellently as there are spaces for teenagers to play pool, adults could watch the football and a large kitchen tables, sofas, beanbags for everyone to get together. The sleeping areas had everything you could need. A really lovely cottage for a mutifamily break. We will definitely book here again.

Heather

A really beautiful cottage with an awesome kitchen! The hot tub was a bonus even though it was raining that weekend! The cottage is in excellent location as the railway station is right opposite with car park in between the cottage and station. A short walk to The Jolly Sailor and it is where the TV programme in the 1980's Howard's Way was filmed inside the pub. Thank you for the Xmas decorations and also the lovely hamper!

Catherine

Bailey Cottage is huge and everything is lovely. My family of 8 ranging from 68 to 11 months stayed for a week. Expansive bedrooms for everyone, a games room where pool, table tennis and air hockey competitions were played every day, a large, beautifully equipped kitchen where 3 of us could cook. The hot tub was the biggest hit. Although parking is only for 3 cars, the cottage takes 10 and swallowed up all 8 of us with room to spare. Loads to do nearby. A wonderful week.
