Set in the heart of the New Forest National Park and on a New Forest track with wonderful open views over the Forest, this thatched holiday cottage is perfectly located. The ever-popular town of Brockenhurst lies just a short walk away, with its pubs, restaurants and shops. A charming property, The Thatched Cottage dates back 200 years and is finished to a very high standard - with many personal touches to make it feel a real home from home, such as its two wood burning stoves, large well-fitted kitchen, and living room with a reception room where guests can read a book or play a game. The well-kept large cottage garden is a joy, and provides a real haven in which to relax. There is also a paddock for ball games.<br />There is access from the garden into the forest, with its miles of beautiful walks available; or alternatively the surrounding area can be explored by car or bicycle - discovering some of the appealing villages and gardens such as Exbury and Fuzey. <br />There is lots for the family to enjoy including Marwell Zoological Park, Bucklers Hard or a day out at Beaulieu Motor Museum. Slightly further afield, but well worth a trip, is Monkey World and the Tank Museum near Wool. For history buffs, a day out in Portsmouth is a real treat, where HMS Warrior, Victory and Mary Rose can be visited; or Southampton with its maritime history and West Quay shopping centre. There are Blue Flag beaches at Hayling Island, Bournemouth and Sandbanks Poole, all within an easy drive. The Isle of Wight is also within easy reach._Sitting room/reception area with wood-burning stove. Large living room with wood-burning stove, rugs on wooden floor, two window seats and door to garden.
