Beautiful cottage and surrounding countryside

This property was so beautifully presented- tasteful decor, lots of space for 5 or 6 people, all mod cons, very comfy, everything you need! Also in included a built in BBQ outside. The upstairs shower was a little bit dodgy but it wasn’t a big deal, there was another shower and bath downstairs. Very well situated for the new forest- Fordingbridge with shops and supermarket and the river running through it. Sandyballs resort nearby. We visited Beaulieu and lyndhurst both very picturesque and did a bus tour which was great. Sandra was very helpful with some accommodations needed for our daughter who has a disability. All in all a lovely little break.

Long weekend - rural idyll near Fordingbridge

A beautiful property tucked away from the nearby town of Fordingbridge, overlooking the floodplain and river. Stunning views of the local country and nestled amid grazing cattle and sheep. Interior is comfortably furnished and all modern conveniences are included. Perfectly located for exploring the New Forest and local coast.
