Back inside, a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the property.

Half a mile away, Highcliffe is a relaxed seaside resort overflowing with local appeal.

Nice quiet location and convenient to the beach, New Forest, station and some lovely towns. The annexe, although small was well equipped and comfortable. Great connecting easily to Prime, Netflix etc and very good WiFi. We had a great week there.

Situated in a very quiet street, this was a great find to use as our base for the week. Everything provided as you would expect and provided to a high standard. The welcome pack consisting of wine, cake and water were a nice touch. Comfortable and clean with a lovely secluded seating area to catch the last of the suns rays at the end of the day. WeRead more would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Shelagh & Pete for making our week special. Hide
