amazing stay
mews hill house is an amazing place to stay with excellent amenities and comfortable rooms .Plenty of room for larger groups .Very well equipped with everything one could need for a home from home stay.
The facility of a hot tub was great and we enjoyed the use of a barbecue.The grounds were well kept and the play equipment is an added bonus
The property was well maintained and clean
Check in was easy with a lock box .Checkout was at 10 am .The only downside was we felt a bit pressured as the cleaners turned up early .However we had a wonderful relaxing stay and would recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the area

Great correspondence from start to finish great company to work with, very accommodating.
The house was amazing we had 17 adults and a few dogs. We spent most of the time in the beautiful garden which had everything you would ever need. It was very warm the weekend we were there.
The kitchen has everything you need - so many glasses! Plenty of cupboard space and 2 fridges were really useful.
All the beds were very comfortable and the home was very clean.
The showers were fabulous - I could have spent all day in mine!
No negative comments we had a wonderful stay.
My only recommendation would be to have a 2nd dishwasher as we did have to wash up a lot.
Magnificent
The main house is magnificent. Perfect. We also had the Annexe.
The location, the house , the facilities (internal and external) were superb.
Some may consider that the lack of mobile network and weak WiFi would be a negative - try it, it enhanced the relaxing influence of Arniss. We all loved it! Thank you.
Family Christmas at Osmund House
We spent a wonderful family Christmas at Osmund House. 8 adult and 7 children, loads of room for everyone, very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Only a short walk into Salisbury with it’s magnificent cathedral and short drive to some wonderful places.
We had a could have issues but these were dealt with promptly and without fuss.
Would definitely recommend.

Creating memories at Gaunts cottage.
It was many years that all of the family from around the world had missed being together, so we found a perfect property on the Short Stay web site. We also spoke to Caroline who very kindly let us have a look at the property before booking. The home was perfect for the 6 adults and 6 children so we made the reservation.
The home was beautifully clean and had comfortable beds and furniture. The garden was ideal for the children to play ball and had an amazing games room, climbing frames, BBQ and hot tub . The kitchen was also fully equipped which made cooking for the family easy, and great to sit around the huge dining table together. We certainly created many happy memories in this beautiful cottage.
The cottage is located in a great position just off the high street and is on the doorstep of local attractions, pubs, restaurants and shops.
A super service from Caroline and her team and would highly recommend this Short Stay Cottage.
Hoping you all enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Beck cottage was lovely
Beck cottage was lovely, with plenty of space for all of our group. The booking process was very easy, and the team was accommodating to our requests and prompt in their replies.
Beautiful house in a great location
Beautiful house in a great location. Couldn’t ask for more. The owner organised three days of golf locally for me. Thank you.
A wonderful stay!
Galtons Cottage was everything great we expected, and more! An extremely spacious yet super cosy location for a big group stay. Very clean with a wonderful kitchen for evening dinners and a comfortable triple lounge setting to relax in afterwards. We were lucky enough also to enjoy the hot tub (with sunshine!) in the gorgeous garden.
The welcome basket on arrival made a lovely personal touch too!
Would highly recommend this beautiful accommodation for all families and friends. Caroline made organising the trip so simple with her prompt communication to support our requests.
Criddlestyle Cottage Golf Break Stay
I stayed at Criddlestyle Cottage for two nights and was on a golf break organised by Short Stay Homes. It had good facilities, was clean and was a very good base for us since we were playing at golf courses in the surrounding area. I would thoroughly recommend it to others on similar golf breaks.
Welcoming Cottage in a great location
Enjoyed a splendid golf break with friends brilliantly hosted by Tony Sweeney the owner of Short Stay Homes and staying in Criddlestyle Cottage, a perfect venue for families and golfers alike. After a good soaking on the golf course it was a real pleasure to come back to a warm, well furnished cottage enjoy a hot bath and put my feet up. Highly recommended
From the welcome pack to the leaving…
From the welcome pack that greated our golf society when we arrived at Mews Hill cottage,to the golf tour put together by Short stay homes to the facilities and local excellent pubs and restaurants we couldn't have wished for a more helpful and considerate host. House was warm and fully equipped, just what we wanted

Fantastic experience as we had a really helpful response to my enquiry which lead to a great booking experience with Caroline.
The property we rented was Arniss Lodge in The New Forest. It was wonderful and very true to the description. We found the house had all the facilities and equipment we could want and the support staff were friendly and helpful.
We would highly recommend Short Stay Homes for a great holiday experience.
