The cosy lodge sits amongst the trees on the outskirts of the New Forest National Park. Sleeping two guests, and full of romantic touches, the property is the perfect escape for couples seeking a memorable base for their holiday. Journey to the coast where you’ll find some delightful beaches, including Mudeford Sandbank, just 6.5 miles away. After a day of adventure, rest your weary legs in the bubbling hot tub.

A woodland path and steps lead from the parking area to the cabin, which forms part of a complex of similar properties. Inside, discover a welcoming lounge/kitchen/diner, with wood-clad walls and bespoke furniture. The kitchen area is a joy to cook in, with everything needed for a self-catering break, and the sweet dining table is the ideal setting for romantic dinners for two. After dinner, snuggle up on the sofa to watch a film on the Smart TV. Just off the living area is a fabulous double bedroom, with plush soft furnishings and an indulgent free-standing bath in one corner. There’s also a separate shower room. Outside, soak up the sunshine in the immaculate, enclosed garden, where you’ll find a bistro set and your own, private hot tub. There’s also a covered veranda – ideal for al fresco dining when the weather isn’t on your side.

The historic market town of Ringwood is 3.5 miles away and is a great place for picking up local produce for your supper, thanks to its independent shops and regular markets. It’s also a popular base for walkers, with the long-distance Avon Valley Path passing through the town. Another nearby market town is Christchurch (5 miles), on the south coast. As well as a great range of independent shops and eateries, the town boasts four miles of spectacular coastline, including six sandy beaches.

We had an excellent time at the lodge. Everything was set up nicely when we arrived and provided us with some amazing cake which was delicious. It was a nice touch. It was very clean and everything was easy to use. The hot tub worked perfectly and had no issues using it. Ralph our gsp enjoyed his treats and there was plenty of room for his bed and Read moretoys to feel relaxed in. The bed was very comfortable and so was the sofa making for lovely cosy nights in by the fire. Definitely recommend Hide

We absolutely loved our stay in The Lodge. The whole property was so tastefully decorated and high quality it felt completely special to be allowed to stay there. As a dog owner, it is rare to find a property that is of such quality, that welcomes and accommodates the needs of dogs and their owners. The "Boot Room" concept with dog washing and dryiRead moreng facilities is unprecedented. Cannot recommended highly enough. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. Super dog friendly with a garden area at front of owners property where you can wander or sit. Cream tea on arrival & the hot tub made this place! The outdoor area is very small so maybe not suitable for larger dogs. Plenty of beautiful fields with footpaths to walk the dogs. We would recommend the 1 milRead moree walk to The New Queen pub, really easy but the slightly longer walk of approx 2 miles to The Woolpack was in places overgrown. Great accommodation Hide
