Our house is situated on the edge of the New Forest, 20 minutes walk from Ringwood.
It's a family home, we have an open plan kitchen diner and lounge, with a wood burning stove. Fireguard available.
Sofa bed in lounge if needed.
Upstairs is a family bathroom, my daughters room with a single bed and my room with a double. There is an option to put a mattress underneath the cabin bed in my daughter's room.
There is space in my room for a travel cot, if needed.
I have an office but this will be locked.
Outside there is a small annexe with a double bed, kids loft bed and a shower room. This is to be redecorated, pictures to follow.
Outside is a small garden with a bouldering wall.
The space
I'm in the process of redecorating, it's almost finished!
Guest access
Two floors with one set of stairs. Off road parking to the rear, secure bike storage if needed.
Notes
For coffee lovers I have a Bialetti Brikka and will leave freshly roasted and ground coffee from a local roaster, Bad Hand. There is a milk frother.
The kitchen is small but well equipped, including a small airfryer.
