The rooms are cleaned and maintained to a very high standard and balance the picturesque features of the cottages with modern amenities - a kettle with tea, coffee, sugar, milk and milk-alternatives provided, a small TV (as if you want to stay inside when the New Forest is minutes away on foot!) WiFi and pristine en suite. The bed was very comfortable, with lots of big, soft pillows to suit anyone's sleeping habits, and nice soft towels and quality soaps were provided.
I met with friends elsewhere for breakfast so I can't comment on it, but the menu was large and well-presented so I'm interested to try it next time I visit!
The Cider Cottages have no-contact check in and check out. Although it's a bit different to have a B&B experience without talking to anyone, the place feels very well organised and thought-through.
It wasn't a problem for me but the windows didn't seal tightly so there was a little bit of sound coming through from the road and birds outside and it might be colder in the winter.
