The Little Thatched Cottage

All the essential details.

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

Inside

We got Alice in Wonderland vibes when we first ventured past Little Thatch's handsome facade. Welcoming & cosy; there is more space than you first imagine, with plenty of spots to sit, chat and chill... we bagsy the window seat!

The crooked walls, aged-beams and original features give glimpses into our cottage's 1680 beginnings; but whilst our getaway is steeped in history (including a moonlighting stint as a WW2 doctors surgery!); your hosts have added all the modern creature comforts & stylish touches you could wish for...

As a starter for 10, the spacious & sweet kitchen is a baker's dream (watch the family follow the crumb trails!), and the snug dining room sets just the scene for a candlelit supper. For afters, head to the living room, where cat naps, Netflix & game nights are all on the agenda.

Past the downstairs loo, and up the stairs (that wallpaper is gorgeous), a trio of bedrooms await to be claimed. We love the light & airy feel of the master; surrounded by soft, slumber-inducing tones, + there's plenty of space for a cot. Next to the swish family bathroom, the double room is equally as gorgeous and well put together... but it's the super sweet, vintage-themed child's bedroom made us want to turn back time! You'll also find the laundry room up here... absolute genius!!!

Wherever you lay your hat at Little Thatch, the clever use of colour and texture links all of the old with all of the new; and the thoughtful design and finishing touches mean you are sure to feel at home... this chocolate box really is ready & raring to give you a New Forest jolly!

Outside

Built over 300 years ago, The Little Thatched Cottage is perched on a b road that now leads into Ringwood's bustling town centre; but head behind the gates to the back garden (the front door is a 'dummy' door), to begin your New Forest escape... Your entrance is waiting under a crown of wisteria!

The driveway wraps around the back of the house, with a small lawned area is just the ticket to coffee & newspaper on a sunny morning!

Helping to give privacy & security to those with small children & dogs, there's also enough off-road parking for 2-3 cars behind the gates. Guests are also welcome to store bikes along the side of the house.

** We will be adding more garden photos in due course, but please do not hesitate to ask the team for more information on the outside space in the meantime. **

Parking

The driveway has room for 2-3 cars

- The doorway to the lounge from kitchen is 5 foot 2''.
- All bedrooms are located upstairs (where there are also a few more smaller steps to navigate to the laundry room & front-facing bedrooms)

Accessibility
