From the super-king-size bedroom, step directly out into a lovely enclosed garden.

Enjoy the golden hues of sunrise at Hamble Common Beach, where you might spot mussels and clams nestled along the shoreline as you unwind and gaze out across the bay.
Pack your provisions and immerse yourself in nature at New Forest National Park, where wild ponies roam freely and sheep graze in open fields, this area of outstanding natural beauty can be explored on foot or by a tour bus if your legs need a rest. If the park leaves you wanting more, visit the New Forest Wildlife Park, set within the national park itself, wander through peaceful woodlands and learn about endangered species from knowledgeable keepers, look out for giant otters, wolverines, and bison.
