This rambling holiday cottage has been extended and comfortably refurbished with large groups requiring self catering accommodation in mind. The open plan dining and kitchen area is in the refurbished conservatory.

The large, bright open space (approx 10m x 5m / 32ft x 16ft) which comfortably houses the holiday cottages' twin cookers, kitchen units, preparation surfaces, equipment and a long, long dining table large enough to accommodate 18 dinner guests.

The lounge is accessed through the french doors from the dining area, (measuring approx 5.5m x 4.5m (18ft x 15ft) and features a large open fire and two further sets of french doors to the front of the property, making this room quite bright.

Stepping outside from either of these sets of double doors we face towards the large decking area with central fountain for guests to sit and enjoy the fresh New Forest air. The front garden area here is easily accessed from the lounge, and the usable space lends itself well to relaxing outside as the sun goes down in this secluded location.

For many years this area has been well-fed for birds, with bird-feeders and an aviary and seems to be home to many common species such as Nuthatches, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Chaffinches and Greenfinches. The odd pheasant has also been spotted stumbling on through.

As well as an abundance of birdlife, there is all the expected ground-based wildlife of the forest in the garden - rabbits have taken up residence in the bank at the rear of the garden (approx 30 yards from the house), moles are, quite literally, having a field day and the foxes are obviously regularly turning up to try and out-wit the rabbits! A herd of around thirty deer (including one white deer, possibly a roe) have wandered past on occasions and the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary is only a mile or so away.

The large holiday cottage accommodation has three separate bathrooms, one at each end of the property and one in the middle. Each has a similar format, having a bath with shower-over, sink and w.c. Pictures to follow.

The bedrooms are made up of four double rooms, one four-bed single room and a further three twin rooms. All have comfortable beds, bedding and bedside tables. This gives a total number of 18, making this one of our ideal cottages for large groups in hampshire.
