Far from the noise of inner city living, this family retreat in Sway offers a chance to refresh, revive and rejuvenate. Ideally located for sun-dappled days exploring the enchanting New Forest, trips to the beach and visiting the smattering of pretty towns and villages nearby, four people and three dogs can spend a dream break together.

 

Featuring two bedrooms (one king-size and one super-king-size zip-and-link) you'll have a great night's sleep before wandering into the characterful kitchen. Benefiting from an open-plan design, the kitchen/diner is separated from the lounge via two steps. Enjoy the mix of rustic charm and contemporary style as you prepare a hearty breakfast with all the trimmings. Alongside the kitchen, a large dining table provides the setting for meals. With room for the whole family to stretch out and unwind, the lounge boasts a wood burner set within a brick fireplace and shelves packed with good reads, games and DVDs. Take your pick or opt for the Smart TV and Netflix for light entertainment. In the summer, swap the sofa for the hot tub and relax as the kids play on the swing set and the dogs play on the lawn. Fully enclosed, the garden offers a fun sanctuary for all. A step down from the lawn leads you onto a paved terrace and there is also an outdoor shower.

 

A stone's throw from many fantastic walks and trails, spend hours and days discovering the New Forest together. In Sway, you can visit the Sway Tower, complete the popular 9-mile Sway to Setthorns cycle route and indulge in the local eateries. Meanwhile, Lymington is only 5.5 miles away.

Fabulous little cottage which was perfect for my wife and I and two labs. Really well equipped and the garden is lovely and total dog-proofed! Hot tub was a real treat. Two pubs in the village which are only 5-10 mins walk and served very good food. All in all a super property in a great location.
