Fern Villa

All the essential details.

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

Inside

Boasting a marble floor, copper worktops & art deco bar stools; your kitchen gives off serious champagne & oyster bar vibes (good times are sure to flow!) We love how generous the space is, with its double butler sinks and double dishwashers … there’s a definite glass half full ethos!

The beautiful orangery provides just the spot to lose track of time, and we can picture how lazy brunches may well spill over into special suppers & late night chatter. Framed by an ancient magnolia tree outside, everyone will feel head of the table amongst the laidback luxe decor. Flow in & out as you please from the double doors here, or slip off into the snug for a night cap on the pink sofa.

Upstairs four birdsong-filled bedrooms await. Each with their own unique character, the master ‘boudoir’ and en-suite feels extra "oh la la", and the quirky family bathroom is within easy reach for everyone.

From its reclaimed wooden floors & vintage finds, to the dramatic wallpaper & plush furniture- Fern Villa exemplifies how nature & nurture can work harmoniously together. Your host’s Scandi roots shine through, and whilst each room is wildly different, everything is rooted with a earthy ‘soul’.

Outside

Plot your day from the garden sofa, with a coffee in-hand… the magnolia tree (planted in 1910) here provides the perfect shade from morning sun!

Paying homage to the Stationmaster’s love of gardening, outside is still very well-tended, and the mature planting gives a sense of tranquillity and privacy. We love how you can open the kitchen & living room’s doors to bring the outside-in.

After a day exploring Brockenhurst on-foot or wheels, you can definitely put your feet up and relax into sun-slowed evenings & BBQs back home.

You may spot ‘The Nest’ behind the planting at the bottom of your garden- this lovely self-catering annexe is another New Forest escape which can accommodate two people, and may be rented in unison with Fern Villa. Just ask us if you are looking for more room/ a separate area for guests!

There's ample room for 2 cars to park on your driveway (please read the Home Truths), and you may well find you leave your car parked for the duration of your stay, as so much is within walking distance!

Garden

Garden dining table & chairs / Fire pit / Charcoal BBQ.

EV Charging

Vehicle charging is possible via the mains electricity in the property. At the time of booking, you will be required to select how many electric vehicles you will be charging during your stay; as a £35 surcharge is applicable for each EV car per booking.

Home truths

Complimentary logs will be provided for your stay (Nov - March). Feel free to bring your own for any extra.

Part of the charm at Fern Villa is that you will likely be in the mix with New Forest ponies and donkeys, who freely roam the streets and village! Lovely as they are, they must be kept out of the grounds by keeping the front gate closed (they wreak absolute carnage with rubbish bins and gardening and can cause great harm to themselves by eating something they shouldn't!).

As mentioned, there is another New Forest escape at the bottom of your garden. 'The Nest' is a self-contained and well separated by planting. Please be careful not to block access, by ensuring that you only park outside Fern Villa and leave the driveway that runs alongside the house completely clear.

If you would like to extend your guest list, or have a family member who would prefer privacy, you may be able to rent the Nest alongside your Fern Villa booking (availability dependant). Please just ask us!
