Sitting adjacent to the owner’s home The Coach House has been recently converted with luxury and romance in mind but with a modern twist. Entry door, baggage/coat stow and simple laundry area define the ground floor hallway, whilst all other living, eating, dining and sleeping facilities occupy the much larger upper floor. This recent conversion has everything you will need for your stay, with a spacious open plan living, kitchen, dining area and fantastic elevated views across 5 acres of paddock encompassing grazing sheep and sweeping countryside beyond. (Spring bank holiday and weekends in Jul/Aug attract typically a small number of family campers to one of the paddocks). You can cosy up on the sofa together to watch a film or play a board game together. In the evenings just walk a short distance to enter your own romantically lit private spa garden with a hot tub to relax in and to gaze at the magnificent night sky.
The property is near to the beautiful town of Fordingbridge, a small riverside town known as the northern gateway to the New Forest, where there are a number of pubs that will be well worth a visit during your stay. There is so much to do nearby, you can visit the New Forest, a vast expanse of heathland and woodland area with free roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys. There is also Cranborne Chase which provides dramatic scenery and is home of the Bradbury Rings, an Iron Age hill fort. Both are Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can visit Kingston Lacy, a beautiful National Trust manor, or Moors Valley Country Park for an exciting day out with cycle hire, ‘Go Ape’ treetop climbing and a golf course.
The New Forest Waterpark will suit wakeboarding enthusiasts new and old or those simply wanting to try their hand at kayaking and paddle boarding. Blashford Lakes nature reserve is a beautiful area to walk around, or to spend time in a bird hide to see what you can spot - common terns, lapwings and oyster catchers are often seen here feeding on the lakes. Further afield you have Salisbury which is a medieval cathedral city, and if you head in the opposite direction you can visit Bournemouth with its award winning sandy beach. This is the perfect property for your romantic break away where you can walk together in the breath-taking countryside, explore some of the many days out nearby and relax in this stunning property. Beach 19.4 miles. Shop and pub 1½ miles, restaurant ½ mile.

Reviewing not from Cottages.com perspective as the "agent" as you just book with them and that is all essentially. This review is for the fabulous owners and a lovely stay in a lovely super clean coach house. Peaceful and so nice after the summer term so a good half term break. The spa garden was lovely and the hot tub was beautiful after visiting, beaulieu car museum, Kingston Lacey and Fordingbridge. The week went too quickly as we caught up on sleep, box sets. We cooked in the cottage and enjoyed local produce. Kingston Lacey honesty produce was fab. We left via the New Forrest so we could see the ponies. So recommended the owners Monica and her husband were so friendly. We will be back.Thank you to Monica and her husband.

A beautiful property with stunning views out of every window. The hot tub and garden is lovely. The weather was dreadful during our stay but as we had such a lovely place to stay it didn’t really matter too much. Monica and Stephen were very welcoming.
