This stylish holiday retreat sits within a privately owned estate in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Sleeping two guests, it’s the perfect base for couples looking to explore the stunning walking routes and pretty towns and villages dotted throughout the New Forest. The cottage is one of two holiday homes, which can be booked together to accommodate larger groups, and sits on the outskirts of the village of Cadnam. Within the village, you’ll find several friendly pubs, as well as a garden centre with a popular restaurant. Cadnam is a fantastic base for walkers, with tranquil tracks and trails to explore along the River Cadnam and across Copythorne Common. Days out from the cottage include the 18th-century naval village of Buckler’s Hard, the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, and the seaside town of Lymington (all within 15 miles). For adrenaline seekers, Paultons Park is just 4 miles away, and there is also a fishing lake and golf course within 3 miles of the property.
A step leads to the front door and once inside, you’ll find a bright and airy holiday home, with large windows looking out onto leafy vistas. The decor is calming and neutral and features pretty botanic touches in the accessories and soft furnishings. The main living space is an inviting, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with wooden floors and a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses. Spend time here, trying out new recipes in the sleek kitchen area or perching at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine. Enjoy romantic dinners at the dining table or invite friends over from the neighbouring cottage for a dinner party. Just off the kitchen area is a handy utility room and WC. When it’s time for bed, retire to the relaxing king-size bedroom for a good night’s rest. A gorgeous en-suite shower room completes the accommodation.
Guests are welcome to explore the 12-acre parkland that envelops the property. Take a stroll around the lake and admire the local wildlife or enjoy a game of tennis on the shared court. You will also have access to a shared BBQ and outdoor dining area, as well as a shared hot tub to relax in after a day of adventure. Guests at this property also have access to a private, enclosed rose garden. Private parking is available on site.
