There is plenty to do and watch without getting into a car, particularly of interest to dog owners and cyclists who can just walk or ride out onto the sea wall and through fields and marshland. A short car ride ,however, will take you out into the Forest with it's walks , horse riding facilities and the beaches at Highcliffe and Milton on Sea. For Youngsters in the summer there's also the revamped sea water baths with swimming, inflateable fun, kayaking, paddle boarding etc just at the end of the road.

About the host
Hosted by David Norton
Hi I'm David I worked in Shipping in London where I lived with my wife and two children In 1983 we bought a cob cottage in Brockenhurst and loved the area so much that we moved full time down here in 1990. My wife died two years later and with the kids into University in 1999 I moved to Lymington into 'Pippins' 25 Stanley Road and in 2003 bought 'Salterns Cottage' which is down a gravel drive alongside 'Pippins'. In 2011 I started work on a new eco house at the back of 'Pippins' formerly occupied by several decrepit garages and I now live in the new House (25A or The Outback as we call it) I retired from Shipping in 1998 and 'Pippins' is rented out on a long term basis but Salterns Cottage makes an ideal holiday cottage. Apart from looking after the properties, I have a boat in lymington and I tend t0 spend a month or so away on the boat in the summer.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is a 'Tardis' and has a considerable amount of room and goes back a long way. There's an enclosed ,quiet ,sunlit garden at the rear (animals are enclosed) The cottage is simple but comfortable and has everything required .

What makes this property unique
While living in London we first of all rented a cottage In Barton and so loved the area that we eventually bought our own cottage in Brockenhurst. Whether you like walking , sailing, horse riding swimming the area has everything and the cottage is 10 minutes walk from the high street and it's market, restuarants and pubs, indeed there are several pubs within a few minutes walk,
