About this chalet rental
The accommodation comprises a large open plan living area with underfloor heating and a wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere perfect for those chilly winter evenings. There are 2 bathrooms and two bedrooms in the Lodge, one twin and one superking (which can be split into 2 singles on request).
Situated on one of the most beautiful and best coarse fishing rivers in the UK the Lodge literally sits on a small lake in an elevated position within yards of the river. The bi-folding doors that open out onto the verandah that juts out over the small lake, from the living space, allow you to enjoy the surroundings from the comfort of the lodge. The master bedroom also has patio doors that lead out onto the verandah.
Facilities:
Satellite TV, iron & ironing board, bed linen & towels, washing machine, dishwasher, terrace, satellite tv, garden, free wireless internet, private parking, pets welcome, no smoking rooms/facilities, safe deposit, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, bath with shower, 2x wc, shower,
Free fishing is available in the small lake off the verandah and fishing on one swim on the river bank. A further additional 4 swims of river fishing are available at an additional cost of £75 per person per week, or £35 pp weekend subject to availability, prior to booking.
A nearby paddock and stables are available if you would like to bring your horses on a DIY basis at a cost of £100 per horse.

This property is not suitable for children under 11 years of age due to the proximity of the lake and very fast flowing river which runs close to the lodge. Parents can bring children from 8 years of age at their own discretion.

We found Riverside Lodge delightful, inside and out. Very peaceful and a pretty setting, with constant birdsong, visiting ducks, scampering squirrels, wandering deer and an evening flyby from a kingfisher. We went out less than we normally would because it was a treat to be lazy there, especially as we’d splashed out on the hot tub. Beds were very comfortable and full marks for having curtains rather than the blinds 90% of holiday lets have, which do nothing to block out light for people who need a dark bedroom to sleep in. Highly recommended, would go again.

We decided to head to the New Forest for a few days. Cannot fault the accommodation.
The pictures represent it well and even more impressive when you are there.
The setting is beautiful and great location for days out.
Highly recommend a stay there to anyone.

Riverside lodge is a well furnished and well equipped property set in a stunning location. There is a small lake alongside and you have a lovely view of the river and beyond from the rear. The bi-fold doors bring a modern twist and are an excellent idea to allow you to bring the outside in. VERY comfortable sofa and beds, hamper of goodies on arrival and thought the fresh milk left in the fridge was a nice touch. (its the little things sometimes 🙂) Local wildlife will visit daily to say hello, a Kingfisher was a particular treat to see each morning. Plenty of walks and exploration of the New Forest available nearby, Fordingbridge has plenty of shops and pubs etc to venture out to. We had a lovely week, enjoyed some fantastic weather which granted us a wonderful sunset to view every night from the back of the lodge. Would definitely recommend this property and I will be returning for sure.
