Located deep in the New Forest, this impressive six-bedroom property is a superb choice for larger groups of up to 11 people, who are getting together for a special occasion with two well-behaved canine companions. Set within 20 acres of private grounds, it offers ample opportunities for the stick chasers in the group to get out and explore. With fantastic walking and cycling routes on the doorstep too, this rural retreat is perfect for those who love outdoor pursuits and the countryside.
With elegant decor, character features and sumptuous furniture throughout, this bolthole is a relaxing and welcoming home. The vaulted beamed kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and has a large oak table that’s great for social breakfasts, while the dining room is perfect for more formal occasions. There are plenty of cosy spots for your guests to put weary feet and paws up, with the open fire in the living room creating a warming spot for tired hounds. A separate snug room is an additional space to relax. Heading upstairs you’ll find four of the bedrooms, each with their own style and design, created with rest and relaxation in mind. Two further bedrooms can be reached on the second floor. Fire up the BBQ on the patio, while the four-legged members of the group sniff out some new adventures.
Leave the car at home and set out on one of the walking and cycling routes that pass your front door and stop off at one of the many local pubs along the way. Spend the day at the Moors Valley Country Park and Forest (8.5 miles) and enjoy a ride on an authentic steam train at the Moors Valley Railway, which welcomes dogs. Meander around the shops in historic Ringwood, which is just 6 miles from the cottage.
