Set on the edge of the New Forest, this stylish property is the perfect choice for parties of up to seven guests with a love of the outdoors. You'll be within easy reach of exciting trails across grassland and heathland, as well as the stunning Hampshire coastline with its famously pretty harbour villages. On your return, enjoy a spot of stargazing in the optional hot tub (additional cost), or take advantage of the fantastic garden lodge with its array of entertainment.

 

You'll be situated on a private road amongst the tranquil countryside, so it is the perfect location for spending quality time together. Gather in the lounge for family film nights, delving into a bowl of buttery popcorn, or feast together in the dining room. Keen cooks will be unable to resist the fantastic kitchen, which is fitted to perfection. Full bellied and weary from your adventures, head upstairs for a long soak in the bath and a restful sleep in one of the tastefully decorated bedrooms. Large groups will be pleased to find the additional pull-out bed in the single bedroom, and the cosy outside lodge has a sofa bed, wet room and kitchen facilities for two further guests. Outside, the garden also boasts an exquisite hot tub (available at additional cost), garden furniture and parking for two cars at the front of the property.

 

Milford-on-Sea is 1.5 miles away, a charming location with great beaches, welcoming pubs and lots of interesting activities from fishing to kite surfing. Lymington 5.5 miles away is an enchanting place to visit too, with quirky shops, eateries and a bustling harbour. From here you can board a ferry to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, exploring on foot and picnicking with sea views at Yarmouth Castle, or walking along the old railway line to Freshwater and Totland.

Unfortunately the location wasn't that good, the road to walk to the beach was extremely busy and on a bend so for safety one of us had to run across quickly to check for oncoming cars, also the path was very narrow, glad we didn't have young children or a pushchair. Please also note that the beach is shingle not sand so needed to drive to another Read morearea. Hide

We choose to come here for Christmas day as our house is far to small to have friends and family over, it was a lovely way to spend Christmas (with a massive oven to do all the cooking in!) Especially with a glass of bubbly in the hot tub in the morning! A well equipped house and beautiful surroundings!

Lovely house, everything you could need. A really, really secure garden for our dog, this is not usually the case. House in a very quiet small private estate, Garden is beautiful and relaxing sitting in the sun. Not wearing shoes on the carpet was stressful as you needed outdoor shoes stationed at all 3 exits. You really need a car as there is onlyRead more one bus route in and out. Hide

The cottage was amazing and the hosts have thought of everything that you could possibly need. We all loved using the hot tub and the cottage was in such a great location, most places we wanted to go and visit were only about a 15 minute drive away. The host gave us a list of reccomendations of places to eat and drink, all of which were great and wRead moree had many enjoyable lunches and dinners out. The cottage was so homily and welcoming, we would love to go back and stay there again. Hide
