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.

Very well equipped cottage in an elevated position overlooking an extensive garden. A variety animal and bird life to be seen and heard. Immediate location has plenty of walks from the cottage, and wider afield it is a good base to explore all that the New Forest has to offer. Our hosts could not be more friendly and helpful.

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.
