Located on the serene western edge of Hampshire's New Forest National Park, this delightful country cottage provides a tranquil retreat for couples and families, just a stone's throw from the charming market town of Ringwood. Renowned for its quaint streets lined with independent shops, pubs, and cafes, Ringwood is an ideal destination for any getaway. The New Forest National Park (0.5 miles) surrounds the area, celebrated for its expansive woodlands and peaceful heathlands; keen outdoor enthusiasts will revel in the numerous trails available for walking, cycling, and horse riding, while wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy observing New Forest ponies, deer, and a variety of bird species. Those who love life by the water can head to Poole, 18 miles away on the Dorset coast, home to miles of gloriously golden sands and Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world, or the coastal haven of Bournemouth, 12 miles away.
Through the rustic stable door, you’ll discover a haven filled with characterful country cottage charm in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that welcomes you into the heart of this home-from-home. Featuring exposed brickwork, a beautifully high, beamed ceiling, and delightful underfloor heating, this endlessly cosy social space boasts a wonderfully warm ambience that beckons travellers to cook, relax, and dine late into the evening. The handy sofa bed accommodates an additional two guests. At the end of a busy day’s adventure, soak weary walking muscles in the stylish and sophisticated family bathroom, which features another characterful sloping ceiling. Sharing the same charming original features as the rest of this homely bolthole, the king-size bedroom is brimming with character and offers lovely views over the garden through the stable door.
Outside, you'll find a quaint courtyard overlooking peaceful paddocks, home to grazing horses and, on lucky occasions, visits from Bertie the resident buzzard or evening flyovers by Canada Geese. The highlight of this outdoor space is the hot tub, where you can unwind while soaking in the countryside views. There is private parking for one car at the cottage
