What we love...

Luxurious Scandi-inspired styling with dreamy aesthetic and luxe touches.

Tempting hot tub and gym annexe surrounded by lush, wrap-around grounds.

Easy-breezy open-plan layout for family gatherings where everyone has space to relax.

Nestled under the tall trees of a leafy New Forest village, this spacious Scandi sanctuary invites you all to slow down in style.

Ridge Cottage Style

Cocooned amongst a backdrop of luscious green planting, Ridge Cottage is like an exclusive wellbeing retreat – where dreamy design and luxury touches promise quality time and ultimate relaxation in equal measure.

From its wrap-around grounds to its luxe open-plan interiors, everyone will find their happy place here. From enjoying bubbles in the hot tub, banter in the games room and a book-athon by the fire, there are endless ways to unwind and take it easy.

With super-chic styling throughout, there are ample areas to natter or nap, embracing a hygge dream. Before lighting the fire and hunkering down, do spill out of the bifolds where your very own ‘great outdoors’ awaits. Complete with a gym, jacuzzi, and TV/table tennis room annexe – you’ve got everything you need at this country retreat.

Exploring the Area

If you can peel yourself away, you’ll find fab forest walks and hearty pub lunches right on your doorstep. Plus, seaside jaunts are a short drive away – you really are spoilt for choice!

What makes this place special...

Highlights staying at this house and in the local area...

All the essential details.

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

Inside

Light, bright, and frankly just beautiful... the attention to detail & styling at Ridge Cottage is second-to-none.

With an open-plan layout throughout the ground floor, the owner's designer eye for detailing means that natural zones have created plenty of spaces to eat, drink and be merry- with the cosiest of corners to curl-up into for afters. Amongst the green-filled bay windows and bi-folds, you'll find it desperately hard to choose from the sinkable sofas, sheepskin-draped chaises and sun-soaked 'window' seats on offer... we recommend lighting the candles and seeing where the conversation takes you!

Originally built in the 1900's, the cottage has evolved over the years, and the blend of old and new design details adds to the harmony you feel here. Natural textures & sleek finishing touches make this an instagrammable delight... literally every corner is a photographer's dream! With a signature Scandi style throughout, there is a strong sense of warmth and comfort here, inviting you to really sink back and make yourself at home. We love that you can open up the doors and spill out onto the patio for your morning coffee- the blend of indoor-outdoor living here is seamless, and can be savoured in all seasons.

Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms offer their own aesthetic haven. With a Jack & Jill (shower room & loo) from the master, there's also a bubbly tub waiting (jetted whirlpool bath) in the family bathroom- so no one will miss out.

Outside

From the second you enter your private & gated driveway, you will know you have chosen a very special stay...

Amongst a backdrop of ancient trees & evergreens, do forage further as this gorgeous garden promises a playground for all ages to enjoy!!!

With the sleek patio providing just the spot to enjoy a BBQ, sundowner or stargazing session, your conscious may wrestle as you decide whether to hit the gym (complete with treadmill, cross trainer & weights/ training area), slide into the hot tub, or get competitive in the annexe/ games room first... this really is the garden of paradise!

After a day of roaming free, little ones will delight in s'mores by the fire pit - al fresco perfection!

ParkingThe gated driveway has room for 3-4 cars with a Rolec Wallpod charger available to use but please do read our Home Truths for a few more 'must-read' bits on health & safety.

EV Charging - You are welcome to enjoy a complimentary charge during your stay to help you enjoy exploring the lovely New Forest!

Home truths

Ridge Cottage is located just off of a 'main' country road so you may hear some road noise. When entering at night, there is a gate light, but please be aware that (as a true countryside gem!), there are no main street lights.

There is a pull out bed in the lounge which can be moved to any room, but is only suitable for a younger guest. Please speak to our team if you have 9 on your guest list.

Guests are solely responsible for safety when using the gym and the hot tub - please also be aware that the patio tiles get slippery when wet.

Please take extra care on the balcony & do not lean on the railings (we do not recommend allowing kids on the bedroom balcony).

Please note that there will be 1 or 2 cars left in the driveway during your stay.

There is an extra charge for logs and kindling to burn on the fire (October- March) but feel free to BYO!

As we change the hot tub water for every booking, if you arrive on a changeover day, it may take till later on your arrival day until the optimum temperature is reached... trust us though, it'll be well worth the wait!

Location, location, location...

Leafy, forest loveliness - Bransgore is one of the New Forest's most picturesque places to explore - and you can stay right in the heart of it!

With some cracking countryside walks on your doorstep (Dur Hill Inclosure & Homsley are great), you can also reward yourself with a pub lunch for afters - The Three Tuns is your local + the New Queen (2 mins drive further toward Avon/Ringwood) does good food with lovely views across the river & wetlands...

For a day by the sea, you're only a 10 minute or so drive away, and Avon + Hengistbury are firm favourites with our team for a wander by the beach huts, or a sandy sundowner.

Everything was perfect, a perfect escape in the New Forest. Great communication with owner. Everything was perfect for us due to the weather being so hot we spent all our time outside. Breakfast, lunch and bbq dinners. The grounds are perfect for all.

Amanda May 2026

Really lovely few days away with our family here. Lots of space and my children enjoyed the large garden. Every thing we needed was in the kitchen, there was nothing we were missing.

Emily April 2026

A lovely holiday home, we especially enjoyed the well-maintained garden. Very private, the children had a great time in the gym and at table tennis! The house is very comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. Highcliffe Beach was our favourite spot and crabbing at Mudeford Quay.

The Moore Family April 2026

5 stars! Excellent stay, wonderful cottage. We had a wonderful stay at Ridge Cottage. The location is amazing in terms of the new forest and the coast. The hosts were really helpful and we were so comfortable with everything we needed. One of my friends has already booked a stay for the summer!

Mary April 2026

The photos do not do this property justice. It's a beautiful house with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The hot tub, gym and games room provided that extra 'thing', especially for a family of 8. Combining this with lovely walks and pubs nearby, as well as a large number of 'attractions' so close, there was a lot to do. And amazing hosts too, so helpful. If there was anything we would change it would be to properly secure the property as our dogs did find some 'escape' areas. Just lovely.

Corcoran-Lockley Family August 2025

What a wonderful, relaxing and joyous week we had. It felt like the south of France with barbecues, rosé and ping pong tournaments! Thank so much!

Ruth & family July 2025

We had a wonderful stay at Ridge Cottage. We booked for 4 weeks and from the moment we walked in it felt like home. The house is lovely with 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with good showers. Downstairs is beautifully decorated and well laid out with everything you need. Outside is also gorgeous with plenty of chairs/tables and a BBQ. Our dog Rosie loved the big garden and although the weather was not always good we enjoyed the hot tub too. The house has lots of different areas to it which was great as my husband was working and my eldest son revising for his A levels. The gym became a study and the games room with the table tennis table was well used during " breaks". Being lovely and quiet in a great location was a perfect place to both work and relax. Thank you

The Pallot Family June 2025

My overriding impression of this home was Wow!! Beautiful home just as described, allowing for an extremely relaxing and enjoyable stay Ina and Andrew were fully welcoming and informative. Plenty of space for us and the children to explore and lots to keep us occupied. Amenities were spot on, kitchen clean and well equipped, bathrooms immaculate, house with do much character, gorgeous garden with hot tub, useful gym area that was well utilized. And close to a number of beaches where we spent much of our days (were lucky with the weather!) We mainly ate at the house and then spent the evenings in the hot tub around the fire pit. What a lovely escape from our own realities!! Thank you

Ijaz & family August 2024

We really enjoyed our stay at Ridge Cottage. The house was exactly as pictured and garden was amazing. Our kids loved it so much. The location is great with so many things to do within a 20 minute drive. We also had bikes delivered to the house from a local bike hire place in Burley who also came to pick them up. So convenient! Thanks for a lovely holiday. :)

Katherine and family August 2024

We enjoyed Ridge Cottage as a break for Easter while working nearby. We enjoyed the most impressive garden, the hot tub and harmonious surroundings. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Micheal, Ireal April 2024

Thank you for such a lovely stay. We have enjoyed the freedom of the house and the garden immensely. Perfect place for a family with teenagers to visit. The garden is beautiful and so relaxing, similarly the house was so comfortable. We enjoyed visits and walks along Highcliffe to Avon beaches and dinner and the Noisy Lobster. We loved The Oaks at Highcliffe - wonderful food and service. The weather was exceptionally kind, apart from one day which we still managed to fill happily. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, we would love to come back.

Catherine and family August 2023

Tack Ina & family for letting us stay in your Hygge house - truly a home away from home. Berst wishes from fellow scandi. We visited Beaulieu - perfect for our boys under 5 and parents the Monorail was a hit. We recommend the Farmers Market and Grove Farm.

Christina and family January 2023

Our stay was beautiful. We booked Ridge Cottage for Christmas after we lost our Mum in October. The thought of Christmas in our family home was too hard so we escaped to the New Forest. The home is beautiful, we used the hot tub & games room everyday, cooked a delicious Christmas dinner and discovered some lovely walks. Despite Christmas being incredibly hard it was also very special to be here. We made some wonderful memories and Ridge Cottage was the perfect setting for them. We will remember them for a lifetime. Thank you. A beautiful home, warm and super stylish. Perfect for our family Christmas and so close to great walks, pubs, the coast... Loved it.

Iain, Harriet & Matthew December 2022

We wanted to say what a fantastic time we had at Ridge cottage. The house is immaculately decorated and also homely. We had everything we needed to create a wonderful week’s holiday for our family. We would love to come back again. It was super.

Emma and family October 2022

The house is more amazing than the photos show. A great place to stay , chic, clean bright comfortable. We used the hot tub and played ping pong and played lots of the games . A fun house even in bad weather. Warm and cosy too.

Caroline

A very stylish house with stunning gardens, fantastic spaces to entertain and a great location in the New Forest. We had everything we needed to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday, including a bbq and firepit. Short walk to a lovely pubs- The Crown Inn/ Three Tuns.
