Review of Defoe House, Bed and Breakfast
Reviews from our community
1 review My partner and I stayed here with our baby in July. We received a friendly welcome from Vanessa, complete with tea and homemade biscuits! The accommodation was clean and tidy, the small kitchenette had everything we needed (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster) and a gorgeous cooked or continental breakfast was bought over each morning at an agreed time by Vanessa. She also provided a travel cot for our baby so we didn't need to bring one. The accommodation is situated next to the owners house but it was still quiet and private. You can walk from the accommodation to tracks within the forest and local towns e.g. Lymington are a short drive away. We had a great time at Defoe House and would definitely recommend this B&B to others.

Thank you Vanessa for your hospitality. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and it was great having the extra touches in the small kitchen. Breakfast was delicious and the location of the property was a "real get away from it all". For people who lead very busy lives it was lovely to just RELAX. Thanks also to the lovely Alfie dog. Our daughter adored him and has declared meeting him the highlight of her weekend!

Thank you Vanessa for being so obliging and for having a clean retreat for those of us who love a peaceful stay. There wasn't anything we required that you didn't already have! The cakes you left on arrival were beautiful!! We had a very pleasant stay and you are in a great position for visiting so many places of interest in the area. If I hear of anyone visiting the New Forest I will definitely recommend you............Thanks again!

Just returned from a 4 night stay at defoe house, and what a perfect little retreat it was. It has everything you need with the added advantage of a cooked breakfast being delivered to your table. Vanessa is a diamond, very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and nothing is too much trouble. There is so much to see and do in this area and we plan a return visit in the very near future. I have no hesitation in recommending this B&B
