Property code: 50723

This contemporary-style studio accommodation has everything you need and more for an unforgettable romantic break. The property is the perfect size for two and has a gorgeous secluded garden to sit in at the end of a fun day exploring. Situated just 2 miles north of Lymington, it is in the ideal location to explore the best parts of the New Forest. Head into Lymington on a Saturday to explore its popular street market or make your way the Keyhaven ferry, just 5 miles away, to see the fortress and sights of Hurst Castle.

The property is located adjacent to the owners', but this does not affect how secluded it is. As you enter the studio, you'll notice just how light and airy the space is, with its large windows and bi-folding doors overlooking your private garden and allowing for the natural sunlight to come in. The open-plan layout has elegant wooden decor throughout, creating a cosy feel in this contemporary setting. Enjoy a hearty breakfast sitting at the dining table overlooking the garden before heading out for a day's adventure. Step into the bathroom to find its double shower inviting you in after a day out walking.

The New Forest is the perfect place to visit for an active holiday, whether you prefer a light stroll or a hike through the villages and along the coast. You can also explore the area on horseback or bike to give you a different perspective. If you love food, then Lymington has plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from for an intimate meal for two. Alternatively, head to the local market to buy and sample some fresh, local produce. Hockey's Farm Shop, a bit further away at 20 miles, is also worth the visit for some lunch in the cafe and a chance to meet the animals.
