The Retreat is a lovely sunny, self contained and spacious first floor converted stable loft which has been newly refurbished to a very high standard. Inside, the modern kitchen is new with all the facilities you will need to cook and dine-in should you wish to. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk will be provide on arrival. You are welcome to visit the small holding and share in the daily feeding of chickens, sheep and lambs or see where all the fresh produce is grown. Alternatively you may wish to cook alfresco over the fire pit or on the barbecue whilst watching the sunset over the fields in your private garden, before retiring inside to the oak beamed living area. Relax watching TV or a DVD, challenge each other to a game of Scrabble or just spend quiet time snuggled into a luxury throw whilst reading a book – all are provided for your enjoyment. There are two single sofa beds in this space for any younger children who maybe staying with you. The bedroom has a kingsize bed with high quality bed linen and anti allergy duvet. Fitted wardrobes provide ample hanging and shelving space and a ceiling fan helps to ensure you are comfortable when the weather gets warmer.

My family and I live in a wonderful part of the country - rural yet within easy reach of everything. We share our lives with a range of animals including a dog, a cat, 6 chickens and 16 sheep and lambs. We enjoy our small country estate with its 23 acres and love to watch the wildlife who are encouraged to live here amongst us. We hope you will join us for your holiday here in the New Forest.

A secluded, luxurious retreat located in the New Forest National Park. The Retreat is a wonderful private loft apartment in the ground of a country house in a beautiful rural setting with an outdoor heated pool to use. Close by are endless walks & cycle rides in the New Forest, local pubs to visit & sights to see. The private gardens are well stocked with mature shrubs and beautiful flowering perennials with a lawn leading to a seating area overlooks the fields. Early in the morning you are likely to see deer roaming, rabbits, foxes, squirrels and a plethora of wild birds. In the evenings the sky is the domain of bats and owls or you may be lucky enough to see swallows swooping around. From your garden you can take a stroll up 'The Avenue' - a sweeping grass walkway edged with a 150ft planted mixed border and ancient brick and stone wall - along the path and out through the private gate to a footpath leading to the road and further footpaths beyond. In Spring these paths provide a magnificent spectacle, covered in a carpet of Bluebells. Our heated outdoor swimming pool is available for you to use during the mornings and early evening during the summer months (Apr-Oct).
