Set apart from the rest of the Hampshire countryside, this five-star holiday home invites large groups of friends or multi-generational families to stay undisturbed by others, enjoying calm surroundings and incredible water meadow views. The property is around 1 mile outside Fordingbridge, a River Avon town with a beautiful medieval bridge, quirky shops, and a handful of pubs and eateries. The town is set between the New Forest National Park (1 mile) and the Cranborne Chase aonb (3 miles), creating ample opportunities for walking, hiking, or bike riding nearby. Explore Garston Wood (13 miles), the Moors Valley Country Park (9 miles), and Langley Wood (8 miles), among many other surrounding beauty spots. In between those outdoor excursions, enjoy days out at the Rockbourne Roman Villa (4 miles), Breamore House (4 miles), and the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (11 miles). Or, in the summer, don a wetsuit and spend time at the New Forest Water Park (2.5 miles).

This luxurious accommodation has been designed with a bright, neutral colour scheme, rustic-style furnishings, and bespoke fixtures – the perfect space for any group to unwind. You can effortlessly flow between the lounge, kitchen, and dining area on the ground floor, with large, open-plan rooms creating ideal conditions for socialising. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a range-style electric oven and plenty of counter space for cooking up something delicious. The lounge is tucked neatly away around a corner, home to a large L-shaped sofa, a wood burner, and a Smart TV for nights filled with relaxation. There’s an easy-to-access WC on the ground floor, along with the first of four bedrooms. This zip-and-link bedroom can be made up as a king-size or a twin and has its own en-suite. Another such room with a zip-and-link bed and en-suite can be found upstairs, alongside a king-size room and a double room. The king-size has an en-suite, and the double enjoys sole use of a separate shower room.

At the side of the house, a suntrap patio space invites slow mornings and restful afternoons in the sunshine. It’s furnished with plenty of outdoor seating options, a BBQ, and a fire pit for after the sun sets.
