Bailey Cottage Reviews

We loved Bailey Cottage. We stayed for three nights in April. Our kids spent hours playing pool and enjoying the hot tub. We also walked to the local pub and had 15 taken off our bill because we were guests at the cottage. The house is beautiful and very clean. We would highly recommend Bailey Cottage.
Claire
We had a great stay. Hot tub was lovely and hot. Great location and easy walk to local pub. Very homely feel to the place. Well stocked with games and equipment and lovely welcome pack. Would recommend
Vanessa
Great communication from the owner before our stay & very prompt to respond to a query during our stay. Beautiful location we enjoyed lunch in the Jolly Sailor, 5 mins walk, & walks along the river. The cottage was a fantastic size for 6 of us, great facilities & welcome hamper, & we loved the hot tub. We will definitely be back
Very pleasant break. Cottage very comfortable and well equipped. Location ideal.
We have just spent a wonderful fun family weekend at Bailey Cottage. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and the hot tub was just a real bonus as we were blessed with sunshine too. Thank you!
Our group of 6 stayed for 4 days at Bailey Cottage which is beautiful and had all the space we needed. All of the rooms are well appointed with ample facilities. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. Its location was ideal and despite being within the station car park we were not disturbed by the comings and goings of this little local station. The walk around the marina and across on the ferry was perfect for burning off some energy. Will definitely stay again!
Perfect for our late Christmas family reunion, including two babies and a dog! The property was warm , clean , comfortable and very well appointed. The bedrooms were spacious, the decor attractive . It is clear the guests needs have been thoughtfully predicted. The owners communication was outstanding. He phoned me beforehand to give me an update on the property and subsequently checked in to make sure all was okay! Brilliant!
We had a fantastic stay at Bailey Cottage. Its a great location being so close to the station, walking distance to plenty of places to eat and 5 mins drive to a huge Tesco. Its well equipped & well maintained. The owner was very helpful. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub & the log burner! Thank you!
Great place and very comfortable. Lots of nice touches. We had a plumbing issue which was speedily resolved. I would consider upgrading the sofas as they are becoming quite soft now.
We had such a fantastic time. The hosts were extremely informative and helpful and the house was exactly what we wanted. Definitely planning to come back in the future!
We spent a thoroughly lovely weekend at Bailey Cottage. It's a fantastic property with great facilities my arm still aches from playing too much air hockey.... We had been slightly hesitant about the proximity to Bursledon station but in fact, we barely noticed. And it proved very handy as another transport option during our stay! James, the owner, reached out to us before we arrived to make sure we were all set for our stay. Which was very much appreciated. We can 100 recommend Bailey Cottage!
Lindsay
This was an excellent property for a friends reunion. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had been very thoughtfully and creatively adapted from an older building. The facilities were excellent and the owner provided all the information we needed prior to our stay. We would recommend Bailey Cottage.
Edmund
Outstanding! ! What a perfect cottage. Went for a weekend with 3 friends as a foothold from which to enjoy the South Downs. Lovely and clean, all the amenities you might need, wonderful little pub a short walk away and couldn't be easier for my friends coming by train. James was super attentive and very responsive. Thank you James! I can't recommend Bailey Cottage enough...
Excellent facilities and location. lots to do nearby for all the family with the dockyard, Isle of wight, Southampton etc . The train station was so close it allowed easy access to lots of places, but there was no problem with noise coming from there. A beautiful holiday home.
It is a wonderful location for socialising and celebrating with friends or family. We really enjoyed our time there
Bailey Cottage is a beautiful house in a good location. We were a 3 generational group of 8 and we found the house to be perfect for our stay. It was clean, well equipped and we made good use of the hot tub and games room. Communication with the owners was excellent and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. We visited Winchester and Lymington to the West, and Gunwharf Quays, Stokes Bay, Hamble and Bursledon closer to the house. We found everything we needed close by in terms of supermarkets and shops. We ate at the Jolly Sailor and the new waterfront Boat House cafe at Swanwick Marina. We would be happy to recommend Bailey Cottage to anyone looking to stay in this lovely area, and we will definitely look to return next time we come to visit. A really lovely holiday cottage!
Bailey Cottage was ideally placed for discovering the area with access to a railway station just across the road. We werent disturbed by the trains running past because they were so quiet. Great for visiting Portsmouth visitor attractions and Southampton area with no need to drive. The house itself was large enough to provide spacious accommodation for our family. There is a games room with an air hockey, table tennis and pools table all in one. There are console games as well. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, large fridge freezer and electric range. The outdoors were great with a garden and hot tub for relaxing. A lovely hamper with drinks and snacks was provided on our arrival too. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms offered plenty of hot water for showers. Overall a great place for a holiday.
Nicole
Excellent stay in Bailey Cottage, it suited our needs perfectly. I was concerned about open windows and being close to the station however this did not disturb our family atall. Having the station so close to hand meant the younger ones could be in Portsmouth or Southampton within 20 minutes and have a night out without have to worry about driving. The older members enjoyed the short walk to the lovely Jolly Sailor, the Seahorse cafe at the harbourside, just under the bridge. Across the main road was a fresh fish shop selling an amazing array of fresh fish and shellfish. Having a car, although not essential, meant we could visit beautiful Hamble, we had a lovely dinner at River Rat and liked the look of King and Queen too had we more time. Super huge Tesco also within a 5 minute drive. We were a mixed family group and would definitely recommend this property.
Bailey Cottage is such a wonderful and comfortable home to stay in. We were a party of 6 adults celebrating my mothers 80th birthday, so ages from 20 to 81! It worked so well. The kitchen space is perfect for entertaining, the games room was very well used and so many break out areas for quiet time too. My husband even said that this is first the holiday home that he would want to live in. Really is praise indeed!! Fabulous time!
This property was outstanding! Far exceeded my and our expectations as the booking looked great enough from the photos, yet in reality they did it no justice, Bailey Cottage is stunning! The host was superb, made a phone call to me to help me get started and told me to call or message if there was anything not up to standard or if any problems arose. The house is a great getaway, close to a brilliant pub near the waters edge the Jolly Sailor and on the car park of a train which was incredibly convenient! We went with a party of eight and had a brilliant time, plenty of space to relax, tonnes of amenities and even a little welcome package. This is a brilliant getaway and I would so so recommend it. Amazing!
We had the most perfect stay in Bailey Cottage for my sons wedding weekend. The location was ideal and the house really lived up to our expectations. The host gave us lots of helpful information beforehand, provided a welcome basket on arrival, and the house space, facilities and attention to detail were spot on. The garden and hot tub were much appreciated by the groomsmen before the service, and the grandchildren made full use of the amazing range of toys and games before their wedding duties. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend the house in future.
Absolutely fantastic stay. The cottage was just wonderful and had everything for the little ones that joined us on our family trip. Lovely open space downstairs, excellent fully equipped kitchen, plenty of board games and toys for the children. The beds were really comfy and the lovely welcome hamper that we were greeted with was a great touch. The communication from James in the run up and during was second to done. Excellent host and would really recommend the cottage for family getaways. We took the kids out to Manor Farm and soft play one morning which is only 12 minutes away. The details in the booklet provided were so helpful too. James, thankyou so much for a wonderful stay. Bailey cottage is beautiful and we will definitely be booking again in future! Worth every penny.
A beautiful place. The owner was welcoming and attentive. Good transport and some lovely local amenities.
This is our 2nd visit to Bailey's Cottage. We enjoyed our stay there very much. This is a perfect cottage, all the rooms are very well decorated and furnished with everything you could possibly need. The kitchendininglounge area is so inviting, we didn't even use the other living areas of the house. The gamestoy room is packed with toys and games for all ages and certainly kept my 2 grand children aged 2 and 4 happy for the whole stay. The cottage location is excellent, with the station opposite for easy access to Portsmouth and wonderful river walks 5 minutes away. The Jolly Sally is definitely worth a visit and the 15 discount makes it even more inviting. The welcome pack is exceptionally generous and very much appreciated. The owner James is very helpful and only a text away if needed. We will definitely be returning to Bailey's Cottage in the near future.
Rebecca
We were really looking forward to our stay at Bailey Cottage and it certainly didnt disappoint. Such a wonderful home from home to spend our week. James, a very kind host, made sure we had useful information before we arrived and made sure everything was ok when we were there. Bailey Cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, we really enjoyed the games table table tennis, pool & air hockey as well, such a great idea! It is also in a great position for exploring the area and we really liked the fact we could walk somewhere for a meal. We would definitely recommend the Jolly Sailor! We thoroughly recommend BaileyCottage and are looking forward to a return visit! Thank you James.
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.
