Swim, celebrate, stargaze- an ultra special stay awaits in the woods…. Welcome to country living at its very finest.

Hidden amongst the tall trees, you’ll know you have ‘arrived’ the second the gates open at Moonwood House. With impeccable interiors & wide-sky-wanderlust both competing for your attention (don’t worry as the vaulted kitchen-diner provides just the space to soak it all up); open the doors to keep the birdsong, fresh air, and fizz flowing!

As the swim spa’s azure waters tempt you to explore the oasis outside, the gorgeous living areas and bedrooms (including the master with THAT dressing room) are on-hand for R&R when you’re ready. The luxe aesthetic throughout gives us Hamptons-meets-Scandi vibes; with wooden panelling, calming colours & top-spec finishes making every room feel special. From the nifty home-working space, to the the utility/boot room of dreams, your home-from-home is styled to absolute perfection.

If you can bear to leave your 1/2 acre slice of countryside heaven; a private woodland awaits your discovery (how many people can say that?), where you can wander to reach Beaulieu’s picture-postcard village the VIP way. For adventures a little further afield, walk to Bucklers Hard in an hour, take a short drive to our fave ‘wild’ beach, or book a 5 star pamper at Limewood… But, with such a special space to call home, we really wouldn’t blame you if you simply chose to hunker down ‘in the Hampton’s’!

All the essential details.

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

Inside

Three levels of luxe living await at Moonwood, with each floor revealing yet more sleek, chic and high-end detailing...

The show-stopping kitchen-diner is sure to WOW as, under the vaulted ceiling, this light-filled space blends indoor/outdoor living to a T (ebb & flow as you see fit).

With a sprawling island to inspire chatter as you chop, this space really wouldn't be out of place on a glossy's front cover. Whatever's on the menu, the dining room's grand table provides just the spot to feast... but of course, there's also the alfresco set-up to consider...

A pre-supper cat nap in the snug would be high on our agenda, but we'd equally look forward to canapés & drinks by the fire- returning for movies and games later on (you'll find Sky in both rooms). There is not one corner here that isn't utterly gorgeous - the attention to detail is a designer's dream.

Upstairs you'll all get to bed-down in style; but the first floor's stunning four-poster room, and master with adjoining dressing room, both stole our hearts in equal measures. Past the office nook, the top floor is home to two more bedrooms & a family bathroom- each echoing the Hampton's vibe that makes this home so special.

Outside

Nestled under a canopy of tall trees; fencing & mature planting creates a well-enclosed area around your 1/2 acre grounds- making it perfect for little ones & four-legged ones to safely explore.

With plenty of room for cars to park on the gated-driveway, amongst Moonwood's ample outdoor space you'll find a grassy section - great for garden games, a courtyard area - we'll take our morning coffee here please; and of course, 'the oasis'...

Adjoining the kitchen-diner, the leafy oasis (as we have coined it) features a *6m swim-spa-jacuzzi pool, sun loungers, a large garden table, pizza oven, and a huge sofa. With a garden annexe room (soon to become the 5th bedroom - please read out Home Truths), this area brings a taste of old town Ibiza cool to the countryside where swims, sips & star gazing are all on offer.

Your sought-after Beaulieu postcode, also means that you can follow the lane (or the pheasants!) to explore the woodlands at the end of your lane... how VIP can you get!

*The swim spa is set to a very comfortable temperature of approx 37.5° during colder months & 31° during the summer months. Measuring 6m long x 2.28m wide, the pool is 1.26 m deep, and features turbo swim jets + two seats... perfection!

Location, location, location...

Just wow - hidden amongst the tall trees, your secluded location gives you the best of both worlds; as you can hide away, or head out to explore Beaulieu and its surrounding area...

With the most beautiful 'High Street' (+ Beaulieu's well-loved Palace House & Motor museum) just under a mile away- stock up at Bellard & Brown's, grab a coffee at Steff's Kitchen, or eat out at The Montague Arms.

A short drive or walk away (6 mins by car or an hour on foot) you'll find the sweet 'village' of Bucklers Hard. Steeped in maritime history, visit the museum, soak up the scenery (spot the seals if you can!) or re-fuel at The Master Builder's bar.

For more fresh air days out, Exbury Gardens is only a few miles away and has stunning grounds to explore + Lepe Beach (a few miles farther on) boasts a brill play park + coastline to explore.

Every Saturday, the Georgian town of Lymington, hosts a fab market where there are lots of stalls to weave in and out from whilst you stop off to explore cafés, shops & boutiques along the way.

The level of attention and finishing touches throughout Moonwood House is second to none; especially in the gorgeous kitchen, which stole the show for me! Every room is beautifully set out, and the interior designer who styled the house & garden really has thought of everything to make this home feel special!
