Cottage in Hampshire Southampton, Hampshire

Holiday Rental Description

Ideally located for outdoor enthusiasts with great walking and cycling routes nearby making it a great base for a car free holiday. If you wander through the gate at the back of the property, a short stroll will lead you to the open forest where you are greeted with an array of walking routes and beautiful countryside to admire. Horse riding at Ford Farm Stables at Brockenhurst, the Motor Museum at Beaulieu, or trips to Mudeford Quay, which is great for a spot of crabbing, are popular with families visiting the area. Jump aboard the Mudeford Ferry for visits to the sandy beach haven of Spit where there is the popular Beach House Cafe Bar, where dogs are welcome. Complete with peaceful gardens and a white picket fence, period features are combined with modern fittings situated in the New Forest. The open plan ground floor living area is centred on the idyllic woodburner, perfect for chilly evenings and the flat screen TV and DVD player allows guests to catch up with their favourite shows or stick on a DVD for evening entertainment. The country style kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and the range cooker, butler sink, and large oak dining table, which is perfect for social dining, add to the charm of the property. Open up the doors that lead out to the pretty gardens from the kitchen and admire the scenery during a relaxing family meal. The handy ground floor cloakroom and WC is great for storing muddy boots and coats after a day exploring the open forest. Upstairs are two bedrooms, the master bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, plus an ensuite with a bath with shower over and a WC. The second bedroom offers a king size bed and ensuite shower room with a large walk in shower and WC. The pretty gardens outside are completed with a BBQ, garden furniture and sun parasol. The sun trap patio area is great for unwinding and the stable block at the end of the garden can store your bicycles. If you decide to bring your dogs along for your holiday too, the New Forest offers plenty of open countryside for them to enjoy.
