This stunning property, located just 2 miles from Lymington Nature Reserve, is the perfect romantic bolthole for two – and your faithful friend, of course! Sleeping you both in a peaceful double bed up on the mezzanine level, it won’t be long before you’re feeling refreshed and ready to get up and explore the beautiful coast and the New Forest. Wander the quaint streets of Beaulieu (7.5 miles) and have a drink in the dog-friendly pub or take a stroll along Mill Pond Walk, where fairies are rumoured to roam.
The annexe, which is located within the owner’s grounds, is spacious and welcoming. The open-plan living area is fresh and bright with stylish blue and grey tones creating a peaceful atmosphere; snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV in the evening before taking a shower in the trendy bathroom where dark fixtures and fittings add a touch of class. Sit out in the garden on sunny mornings, enjoying your morning coffee, before heading off on the Sea Air Trail that starts at Lymington Marina (1.5 miles) and takes you to Milford on Sea (3.5 miles).
Take strolls along Highcliffe Beach (8 miles) and up to Highcliffe Castle (8.5 miles) where you can see across to the Isle of Wight. Sniff around 200 acres of woodland at Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway (11.5 miles) where your pup is welcome on the train ride and can even try some canine ice cream at the restaurant. Situated on an old coaching site, Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (14 miles) has three walking trails; one leads you to a viewing platform where you’re likely to see the wild herd of fallow deer.
