A beautiful country cottage, ideally located within the historic National Park, within easy reach of some wonderful attractions to explore the ideal setting for a family getaway.
Whether you are planning a holiday characterised by activities and sightseeing or cosy pub meals snuggled up by an open fire, this attractive cottage is a wonderful base for families. Your charming abode is packed with character and sleeps eight guests, placing you right at the heart of the New Forest. Walk, cycle and explore by day, and at night lose yourself amongst the various pubs, bars and bistros studded within nearby towns such as Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst, both within 12 miles.
Pass the climbing wisteria and roses to enter, noting the various period features and oodles of home comforts. Light the wood burner and sink into the sofas in the lounge, or pull up a chair in the dining room and enjoy a game of cards. Catch glimpses of the resident ponies as you rustle up a feast in the kitchen, a quirky space equipped with a range-style electric oven, ample worktop space and numerous other gadgets. Your sleeping arrangements are divided into two bedrooms on the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs next to a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is a bunk bedroom ideal for young guests, and there is a downstairs shower room. Outside, the enclosed garden has play equipment for young guests, and there is a paddock and patio too.
If its an adventure you’re after, then you will adore your surroundings. The neighbouring countryside is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, and there are opportunities to try archery, bushcraft and even axe throwing. Take to the water at Beaulieu River Nature Reserve (13.5 miles) with kayaks and canoes, or head to the activity centre 9 miles away to try tree-climbing, abseiling and zip wires. Golf, fishing and hiking opportunities are in abundance, and the chocolate-box villages are brimming with welcoming pubs and eateries.
