Treat the family to a stay in this luxurious lodge in the New Forest. The property is adjacent to the owner's but, being sat on a three-acre garden, it does not lack seclusion. Here you'll find your own enclosed garden area, plus south-facing balconies looking out over the rest of the grounds. Located in Godshill, it is in a great spot to explore the picturesque National Park and all the activities it has to offer.

This three-story contemporary-style property has been beautifully decorated with a neutral colour scheme, making the place feel light and airy. The front door leads you into the first floor where there is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfect for bringing the family together. Relax on the sofas of an evening with some buttery popcorn and a movie and, in the morning, enjoy your coffee taking in the views from the balcony through the sliding doors. Downstairs on the ground floor, there's a twin bedroom and, up the stairs, on the second floor you'll find the second double bedroom.

We had a lovely welcome pack from Jacqui and Darren on arrival and a stag was in the garden too! The Lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we could wish for.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the week in your lovely thatched cottage. It has all mod cons, and the open plan living space really suited us. Great location - only slightly out of town, but with easy access to the areas we wanted to visit and explore. It's a real treat to sit on the upper balcony and relax admiring the view of your peaceful garden. JacRead morequi and Darren are super hosts, and we would love to visit again. Hide

The house is situated next to the owners property with a shared garden, which is lovely and large but steep in parts (bear in mind if you are less able bodied) but there is plenty of sitting out space on the two veranda's that look over the garden.

The Lodge has a lovely balcony with good views of the garden, great for watching the deer, unfortunately we only had a sunny day so that was a shame. The Lodge is well equipped & was super clean on arrival, with a nice welcome board outside in the porch & the basic items to start you off + fairy cakes. There are some good pubs nearby, we particularRead morely liked The Horse & Groom and The Bat & Ball for food/drinks. The owner is very helpful & knowledgeable of the area. Hide
