Nestled within the picturesque grounds of a former manor house, this charming cottage offers the ideal base for those wishing to explore the stunning New Forest with their furry companions. Located near the border of the national park, this three-bedroom hideaway sleeps up to six guests and has a shared grassy garden for ball games with Fido.
Leave your boots by the entrance hall and settle into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The well-equipped kitchen makes cooking for your group a breeze. Enjoy meals together at the dining table or gather around for a games night. The seating area is a great place for relaxation, whether watching TV or listening to music while your canine companion rests by your feet. The ground floor also features a family bathroom, where you can choose between a relaxing soak in the tub or a refreshing shower. The first of three bedrooms, a double room, is also located on this floor, offering easy access. Upstairs, you’ll find the family shower room and two twin bedrooms with sloping ceilings. Start your day with a cup of coffee in the private seating area outside, where you can watch the morning sun break through the trees. The shared garden invites you to cook up a delicious BBQ using fresh local produce while taking in the stunning views or playing fetch with your four-legged friend. Private parking is available for up to two cars.
With the River Avon flowing nearby (fishing permits available), this property is in a quiet setting, yet less than a mile from the historic town of Fordingbridge, where you can shop for local Hampshire produce, dine at dog-friendly pubs and see the famous seven-arched medieval bridge. Head into the heart of the New Forest, where you can follow scenic footpaths and encounter the free-roaming ponies, perfect for a tail-wagging outing with your four-legged friend. For a beach day, Mudeford is 16.5 miles away, offering miles of sandy shores and stunning views where canine companions are welcome year-round.
