One Avon Cottages

About this property

A delightful cottage within the grounds of a former manor house, this welcoming retreat is perfect for anyone wishing to explore the New Forest. Set close to the fringes of the National Park, the three-bedroom abode for six guests is one of a handful of exclusive properties nestled in the gorgeous grounds overlooking the River Avon. Head into historic Fordingbridge, less than 1 mile away, to shop for local Hampshire produce and dine out. See its famous, seven-arched, medieval bridge too. Venture into the New Forest to follow footpaths and spot its renowned free-roaming ponies. Pack your beach gear and drive 16.5 miles down to the south coast at Mudeford to swim and enjoy the glorious views. Plan a day out to vibrant Bournemouth, 17 miles away, during your stay.

Return from forest walks to hang your coats and slip off your walking boots in the entrance hall as you pass through. Make your way into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to enjoy relaxation time together after your exertions. Take turns brewing the tea, opening bottles of wine and preparing meals in the well-equipped, modern kitchen. Gather at the table to dine together or to enjoy a hand or two of cards. Play games over in the seating area, where you can also listen to music or watch the Smart TV from the comfort of the plump, leather seating. A family bathroom, where you can choose between a soak in the tub and a refreshing shower, is also downstairs. The first of three bedrooms, a welcoming double, is also at this level. Make your way up to the first floor to the family shower room and the two twin bedrooms, both of which have lovely, sloping ceilings. There is also a handy storage cupboard up here.

Have coffee out in your private seating area on sunny mornings. Gather your fresh produce and head to the BBQ in the shared garden to cook it up and dine alfresco, absorbing the beautiful views as you relax together. There is private parking for two cars at the property.
