The Old Bakehouse Sway Reviews

Lucy Carter
The house was fantastic, honestly. We loved the pool table and jacuzzi - real highlights. The owner's little touches, like the cake, really made it special. The village is so charmingand the pub's food was spot on. Can't wait to return next summer! Definitely recommend.
Emma Clarke
The cottage was charming and in a perfect spot. We loved the secure garden and the well-equipped kitchen. The pool table was a lovely bonus for our mixed age family!
Emily
We loved the space in the house - plenty of room to relax and chat. The big bedrooms were a real perk, especially the downstairs one which was great for my elderly parents, even if it was a bit awkward to set up. The secure garden and airlock entrance are ideal for dog owners. Tip: Brush up on your parallel parking skills before coming!
Alex
Charming cottage in a beautiful area, we'll definitely come back!
James
Really liked the airy layout and comfy furniture. The pool table was a nice touch, though short cues would help in tight spots. Cheers!
Emma
The cottage was charming, well-stocked with thoughtful details, great location - we'd love to return!
Sarah
We found it really comfortable and in a great spot in the New Forest, perfect for accessing loads of places to visit. The garden is lovely and secure for our dogs. We'd definitely recommend it based on those points! However, the owner should consider addressing a few cleaning issues. The kitchen worktops, shower traysand some obvious dusty spots could use a better wipe down.
