Ashdale Cottage

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

The gorgeous AGA and flagstone floor make your large kitchen the stuff of country living dreams… we’d struggle to conjure up a more welcoming spot. For meals deserving a more formal setting, simply veer next door to feast fireside in the separate dining area (the adjoining patio is also perfection for BBQs & alfresco meals, so you really are spoilt for choice!)

As the evening draws in, you have a staggered approach to relaxation, as the split level living/ lounging room sets the perfect stage for late night chattering & charades… Lose track of time as you light the fire and pour a glass of something delicious. For a show stopping end to the night, we’d highly recommend opening the doors to enjoy a nightcap under the wide skies.

All of the fresh air & merriment is bound to tire you out, but thankfully there are four neat-as-a-pin bedrooms upstairs, offering country charm galore. Whilst the master suite does boast a rather sparkly en-suite, the family bathroom (bagsy the claw foot bath!) & separate WC, are also at-your-service.

Providing a separate and self- contained space, the lovey annexe ‘Little Ashdale’, is just steps away from the main cottage; with an open plan kitchenette & dining / living area, and a kingsize en-suite to-boot… grandparents & teenagers of the party will be happy!

Outside

The tree-lined vistas at Ashdale are sure to still even the busiest of minds… as are the Olympic amount of outdoor excursions to be enjoyed! Diving into the vast pool, slinking into the bubbly hot tub, getting competitive in the games room, and heading into the heath- it’s all there for the taking!

Appearing like a mirage, *the (seasonal) 27 degrees heated pool provides 9 x 4.5 square meters of pure aqua joy; 1.25m deep and whilst you’d be hard pushed not to succumb, the sunbeds are perfectly poised for soaking up the rays.

To savour every drop of sunshine, the outdoor sofa area will elevate your morning coffee, and the outdoor dining table is perfectly poised next to the kitchen and impressive BBQ. From both spots, you can survey pastures new, and overlook the neighbouring New Forest ponies as they graze… perfection.

Over in the games lodge, you’ll find a decent sized football table & basket game amongst its many treasures. All this play is definitely thirsty work, but luckily the bar is on- hand to help.

*Please note upon booking that whilst the hot tub is open all-year-round, the heated pool is only open from May Half Term -September.
