A spacious cottage, seems to be aimed at familys.there is a nice pub within walking distance and also a Budgens store with a petrol station which can supply all your basic needs.There is a private outdoor seating area, which would easily fit in a hot tub!there is a large garden and it would suit a croquet layout!

Lovely cottage with good access to new forest and motorway. Kitchen had a good array of dishes but could perhaps do with a casserole type dish with a lid for the oven.Kids loved playing hide and seek in the house and garden.
