Pond Cottage has been lovingly and carefully restored, offering tastefully styled accommodation yet retaining some superb features.

French doors lead from here onto a patio terrace which leads to the enclosed gardens, where plentiful wildlife including deer, pheasants and many birds can be seen.

There is a shower over bath on the first floor, plus an additional toilet in the ground floor utility - the cottage sleeps 8.

There is plenty to do in the area for all ages, all year round. Nearby Brockenhurst has ‘best in county bakers’, plus cycle hire, shop/post office and pubs/restaurants. The popular sailing town of Lymington is only 10 minutes drive, with its pretty harbour, cobbled pedestrianised streets, boutiques, eateries and pubs, and ferries to the Isle of Wight.
