About this property
Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, the historic Old Post Office (dating from 1885) has recently been beautifully refurbished to provide a stylish and comfortable holiday home for up to eight guests. Dogs are welcome!
Located in the quaint village of Emery Down with its picturesque forest cottages, charming grade 2 listed church, popular local pub and beautiful forest walks on the doorstep, The Old Post Office is the perfect base for all the family to enjoy!
Along a quiet no through lane, often frequented by ponies and donkeys (who like to peer through the kitchen window!), the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room is the hub of The Old Post Office, with a cosy log burner. In warmer weather, bi-fold doors open onto a large sunny terrace (perfect for dining!) and a small lawn, with stunning far reaching views across the countryside. Upstairs is a second sitting room giving a separate space for reading, watching TV or playing games. Four bedrooms (two doubles both with en-suite bathrooms, and two twins with a further family bathroom) and a useful utility room complete this delightful holiday home.
Nearby Lyndhurst is just a short drive (or 15 minute walk) away and has a wide range of independent shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and 2 well stocked small supermarkets. The New Forest National Park, with it’s free-roaming ponies, and miles of walking and cycle tracks, surrounds this convenient spot, and bikes can be hired locally. The Georgian market town of Lymington is within easy travelling distance, where you can catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight for an exciting day out! The closest beaches are just 20 minutes away and other local attractions include Beaulieu Motor Museum and Paultons Park home of Peppa Pig World.
