Stockenten - Steile Marsh

Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, so dass man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Auch die hochwertige Bettwäsche und Handtücher ließen einen wie zu hause fühlen. Von den Vermietern wurde ein Willkommens-Paket zur Verfügung gestellt (Tee, Milch, Butter, Kekse, Milchbrötchen, Eier), so dass man sich direkt nach der Ankunft heimisch fühlen konnte. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr ruhig gelegen, aber dennoch erreicht man schnell mit dem Auto die Autbahn, um die Gegend zu erkunden.

Paula gave us a very warm welcome and showed us into Mallards. The location is excellent for the South Downs South Coast and West Sussex. The apartment was first class throughout with everything provided to make it a very pleasant stay. The welcome pack was very much appreciated, especially the flap jacks which were very tasty! An excellent place to stay that I would not hesitate to recommend.

The property was excellent, beautifully clean and well prepared. We were welcomed by Mrs Windsor and appreciated her flapjacks after a long journey. Mallards is an excellent centre for visiting Hampshire and West Sussex. We would give Mallards a very high recommendation.

An excellent cottage for two cosy but not too small. Owners very welcoming and happy to answer questions but also happy to leave you to it! Some good walks around the lanes or up on the Hangers from the cottage. We didn't travel far but certainly enjoyed the countryside in mid-winter.

Everything in the cottage was perfect. We loved the shower, the towels and the hot towel-rail!!

We had a very comfortable bed and duvets of the perfect thickness for our super weather!

TV selection and Internet both great.

When we arrived there were lots of goodies, home made flapjack, fresh eggs, tea, butter etc - very nice as we arrived around 7:90pm! Petersfield has a nice supermarket, Waitrose, so we got all we needed for breakfast there the next morning and ate outside on our little terrace. Lots of nice pubs in and around the town, everyone needs to visit “The Harrow” nearby (we first knew it in 1969 - we lived nearby until 1982) - and chat to Elaine about how long the pub has been in her family!!

We had a day out to Jane Austen’s house in Chawton (near Alton) - a magical place for all who have read her books.

We met former colleagues in “The White Hart” in South Harting....go up onto the South Downs from there, and maybe make for “The Royal Oak” at Hooksway!!

Even from far away in Arizona, we often think of this part of beautiful Hampshire, so thank you, Paula and David, for making our visit so memorable... we hope to return.
