About this property
New Forest Cottage, charming & full of character in the heart of The New Forest
Located in the heart of The New Forest in the beautiful hamlet of Bank, Acorn Cottage is an idyllic place to stay, wether for a family retreat or for a romantic getaway. The cottage, much of which dates back to 1760, retains charm & character but features all the modern appliances you will need for a relaxing luxury holiday. There are gorgeous 3 bedrooms that sleep 6. Set in an acre of garden on the open Forest where the New Forest ponies & cows are your frequent visitors, as well as the ducks that live in the garden. Newly decorated, we offer exceptional quality, comfort & luxury. Downstairs there is a fully equipped cottage style kitchen with a dining area and separate utility room, lounge with wood burner, dining room with inglenook fireplace & garden room all with views over the extensive gardens. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom is an en-suite bathroom with stunning forest views & king sized bed, a second bedroom with king sized double bed and a third that can be a twin or children's room (with a travel cot & matress) & a family bathroom with shower. The large secure front garden has a lawn area and various outside seating to enjoy the all day sunshine. The large back garden is divided into 2 sections, the first an enclosed area with outside lounge seating & BBQ on raised decking with steps down to a patio dining area and lawn which overlooks the rest of the garden. There is pretty pond area, which is fenced off from the house & main garden, with a pontoon and small pond house where you can picnic and watch the ducks and the occasional Kingfisher whilst overlooking the beautiful Willow Tree and tranquil surroundings. There is a great country pub a short walk away and the local village of Lyndhurst is close by offering a wonderful selection of shops, bike hire, coffee shops and places to eat. The picturesque village of Brockenhurst is a 10 minute drive or bus journey away (with the main line train with frequent trains to London and the South Coast). The New Forest is at your doorstep with endless walks, cycle paths and places to explore & enjoy. If it's a beach you're looking for, just 20 minutes away you have the choice of the beautiful sandy beaches and beach huts of Mudeford or the marina and stunning town of Lymington where crabbing and fish and chips on the quay are a must. A fantastic family cottage offering a beautiful, peaceful location but with so much to do - a perfect holiday home.
