Known as the northern gateway to the New Forest, Fordingbridge is the perfect setting for your getaway. The River Avon flows through this vibrant town, so there are plenty of riverside walks and picnic spots. Ideal for couples or small families, this homely, red brick townhouse is a relaxing base to return to after exploring the New Forest. Wander around Fordingbridge’s independent shops and historical architecture before enjoying an al fresco meal in the sunny courtyard.

 

Step through the front door and make yourself at home in the comfortable, open-plan lounge/diner. The soft textiles and neutral tones help create a relaxing atmosphere. Curl up on the stylish sofas and put a show on the TV, or open up the door to the garden and read a book in the fresh air. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing delicious meals, which you can enjoy at the relaxed dining table. There is also a convenient WC on the ground floor. Head upstairs to the attractive bedrooms, a double and a single, both thoughtfully furnished to ensure you have a restful night’s sleep. Stay refreshed by taking a warming shower in the tiled bathroom, which has a shower over the bath. Make the most of sunny afternoons by enjoying a cold beverage in the courtyard. There is an allocated space for one car at the front of the property.

 

The local area has a rich history, from the remains of the Rockbourne Roman Villa to the Elizabethan grandeur of Breamore House. Outdoor enthusiasts have endless walking opportunities, including Moors Valley, Ringwood Forest, and walks into the New Forest such as popular routes around Godshill. You can even reach the coast, with just 17.5 miles to Bournemouth – treat yourselves to a traditional day out at the beach complete with ice creams.

Cottage is in a great location in the New Forest, clean, reasonably equipped, mattress in the main bedroom was incredibly comfortable so slept soundly. Only complaint is the noisy neighbours, could hear them banging doors and walking up and down the stairs. One neighbour also played music far too loudly, to the point where I could hear the words Read morebeing sung, fortunately the noise didn't go into the night-time so sleep wasn't impacted. Hide

Really lovely holiday home. Very comfortable. Good location for forest and beaches and shops nearby. The Royal Oak in North Gorley is a must to visit. The best food for miles and so pretty in the forest by the horses. Just 2 miles from the village.

The cottage is in an excellent location for Salisbury, Bournemouth and the New Forest. It's quiet and has easy parking despite being only a minutes walk from the good takeaways and shops of Fordingbridge. Although small, the house has everything needed for a comfortable holiday, and the garden gets plenty of sunshine, so we were able to sit outsideRead more for lunch and in the early evening. The welcome pack was exceptionally generous. We'd happily return. Hide
