This little and perfect New England style cottage is slow living for those who want their cake with cream. The treehouse is usable and gorgeous but high and not for small children. Stay here and use the you must go to the nearby private beach is very quiet. Dogs are welcome on the beach but mustn’t bother the wild ponies, or bird-life who call this home. The stars here are pretty good too. It’s a wonderful spot.

If you need a pub – there are several nearby. If you need caffeine or foodie options both Lymington town or Brockenhurst village are near. But why would you want to leave? You have a wood burner, you have a beach, you have birdsong from dawn until dusk.

There is plenty of space to relax inside and out. Beds are deep. Sofas are comfortable. The deck runs the full length of the house at the back. The sky is unpolluted with city lights. The weather is absolutely controlled by the sea. The slow life here is a peaceful thing.

more about this place...

Inside:

The front door opens straight into the well set up open-plan living room. Walk straight through to double doors for the decking and garden area. The bathroom is wood panelled, with bath and shower overhead. Towels are deep and fluffy. Everything is done so well.

On the ground floor there’s a kitchen-dining room opening onto a sitting room with cosy wood burner.

The kitchen is compact but well-equipped and there is a circular table with 4 chairs.

To get to the mezzanine bedroom, you need to use the steep and narrow stairs, (with alternating wide and narrow foot paddles – so not for everyone). There are two single beds. here. There is no curtain or door here so be aware of that.

The main bedroom downstairs is bright and airy, beautifully styled. You’ll not want to leave.

Babies and children welcome. one travel cots, highchair, books and DVDs are provided.

Outside:

The wide deck runs the length of the house. There is good seating options for 5, plus a great table and chairs for eating on. There are two sun loungers in the garden for you too.

The access to the cottage is flat and there is a small step into the cottage from gravel drive way.

Treehouse:

There is a wonderful treehouse play area to the side of the cottage in a couple of huge oak trees. It is in good condition but you must use it at your own risk. Trees move, the weather is unpredictable and will make the structure slippery when wet, wood does rot over time.

It will not suit adults, or those of that weight, or small children, particularly those under 3, they are unlikely to be able to climb up the access areas: large gap rope netting or vertical hanging rope ladder. There are numerous areas of risk: fireman’s pole, telegraph pole with foot pegs, high balconies, a rope bridge, look out areas. The treehouse itself has a trap door in the floor which can be left open for children to fall through… They will need to be careful. Please watch our YouTube video of the treehouse.

Guests are welcome to use this area but you will need to agree to the T & Cs to say that you are doing so at your own risk. It is extremely doubtful that any other children will be using the treehouse during your stay – the owners children are now in their 20’s! If you are worried about the safety of this structure, do not book to stay at this house.

Beach:

Park Shore is a lovely beach located just a short stroll down the lane, it is ideal for paddling, please be aware that the tide comes in quickly. Please supervise children at all times.

Things you should know:

what makes this special...

You can walk from the back door to Park Shore beach in about 6-7 minutes. It is pebbly, sandy and silty depending on the seasons and storms. This is a very special area and also private for those who have permission.
Watch this short vid for the walk here. The coast is wild, unspoilt and has no facilities whatsoever. There are wild ponies living on the beach from time to time, and apart from wild birds, yachts to watch and perhaps someone fishing, it’s rare to see people here. The stretch of coast is about 1/2 km. Please use it with the care and respect that it deserves.

You can walk to the East End Arms pub in about 40 minutes from the door. The lanes here are quiet and home to many ponies, cows and donkeys.

Shopping is Lymington or Brockenhurst. Broad sandy beaches are at Milford on Sea about 20 minutes away.

don't just take our word for it...

the location...

The stretch of land between Lymington and Beaulieu is a real treat. Quiet lanes, gravel tracks, rambling red brick cottages, ponies wandering about - they're on the beach often.

The Beaulieu River is one of the few privately owned rivers in the world and has been in the ownership of the Montagu family for over 400 years. Land here is tightly held and cherished by residents. The area feels manicured and wild.

At the head of the river, you’ll find the village itself. Dating back to the 13th century, it’s perhaps one of the most iconic and most visited in the New Forest. The main draw here is the Palace, Gardens, Abbey and Motor museum. The village is picturesque with tiny redbrick houses, tiny shops, a chocolaterie, several good cafes, an excellent garden centre and learning garden make up the tiny High Street.
