Or why not take a trip to the coastal town of Lymington (22 miles) to enjoy fish and chips by the famous Lymington Pier and watch as the yachts anchor?

A few miles outside of Sailsbury, you will find the legendary Stonehenge (10 miles). The seaside town of Bournemouth and Poole harbour, with its boat trips, are both within driving distance (18 miles) and well worth the visit.

Entering inside the annexe, through the patio doors, with impressive views of the River Avon into the spacious lounge with plenty of seating, a Smart TV and flame effect electric fire. To the left of the living room is the bathroom with shower over bath and WC. To the right of the lounge is the up a small step, you’ll be met with a large bedroom, complete with ample wardrobes and again, another stunning view of the river which can be enjoyed from the comfort of a king-size bed.
