This charming detached cottage is tucked back from the main road heading into Lymington, on the southern edge of the New Forest National Park. Endless walking and cycling routes can be found in the local area, taking in the stunning landscape the forest is renowned for. You may even spot some of the resident ponies and cattle roaming the heathland. The vibrant centre of Lymington is a short distance away and has a great selection of pubs, cafes and boutique shops set around its pretty harbour. Why not take the ferry to the Isle of Wight, try your hand at sailing or perhaps head to Salisbury, which as a Cathedral city offers great amenities as well as being rich in history.

From the gravelled gated parking area a path and steps lead you to the main entrance, which opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway. The calming colours and character features are sure to make you feel right at home. The versatile accommodation is quirky in layout, with many changes of level, beams and low ceilings giving a hint to its age. Immediately to your left is the inviting lounge, which has an inglenook fireplace with biofuel fire and a Smart TV. Heading across the hallway steps lead up into a stylish dining room, ideal for family meals. Next is a bright and airy king-size bedroom with contemporary en-suite bathroom with bath and WC. Heading back across the dining room is a king-size bedroom with a compact walk in en-suite wet room with shower and WC. Also off of the hallway is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Returning back to the main entrance you will find the stylish kitchen is down a step from the hallway and is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer microwave and dishwasher. A cosy snug area offers additional seating off of the kitchen with TV and from here you will find a useful ground floor WC. Once back in the kitchen, a charming set of narrow cottage style stairs lead up to the landing on the first floor, where you will find a bathroom with WC. Adjacent is a king-size bedroom and at the opposite end of the landing is a further king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room with shower and WC. Leading up from here is a narrow and steep set of stairs (may not be suitable for the elderly or children), which leads to a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room with shower and WC and a cosy twin bedroom set into the eaves.

Heading outside from the main entrance you will find a lawn wrapping around the property. A sunny terrace is ideally placed for trying out the gas BBQ and enjoying lazy meals at the table and chairs. Adjacent to here is a heated swimming pool (available 1st March - 31st October), summer house and hot tub, the perfect spot to spend relaxed afternoons. For the younger members of the group there is outdoor table tennis and a trampoline to enjoy. To the side of the property is a parking area suitable for up to five cars.

Had a fantastic holiday. Everything had been thought of from the welcome basket to all the lovely hair care products. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, along with all the supplied bikes. Some very nice touches to make our holiday go smoothly. Any minor problems were sorted by Guy, the owner, immediately which was refreshing. Thank you Guy.

Lovely cottage with fabulous garden and facilities in easy access of Lymington and New Forest. Great hot tub, swimming pool and pool room with loads of things to do. House quirky with lots of levels and in need of some tlc in places but fantastic place for a large family holiday.

A perfect venue for a long weekend family gathering - great facilities and amenities, and plenty of space for everyone. Well located for local attractions. Just be wary of narrow/steep stairs if either little ones in the house party.

Beautiful house and gardens, well appointed and plenty of room for the 12 of us. The hot tub was hot! The pool however, didn't feel warm at all, so only a few braved it! Location brilliant, within easy walking distance of the co-op and pub.

We have just returned from a super family long weekend at this property. We had a great time - age range of guests ranging from 8 to 80. The owners were very communicative and the cottage very comfy and cosy. Great convenient location. My one note would be that there are a lot of steps/varying floor levels due to the nature and age of the property Read morewhich we slightly underestimated for the less mobile members of our party, however with due care this was not a problem!
