New Forest Cottage, charming & full of character in the heart of The New Forest

Located in the heart of The New Forest in the beautiful hamlet of Bank, Acorn Cottage is an idyllic place to stay, wether for a family retreat or for a romantic getaway. The cottage, much of which dates back to 1760, retains charm & character but features all the modern appliances you will need for a relaxing luxury holiday. There are gorgeous 3 bedrooms that sleep 6. Set in an acre of garden on the open Forest where the New Forest ponies & cows are your frequent visitors, as well as the ducks that live in the garden. Newly decorated, we offer exceptional quality, comfort & luxury. Downstairs there is a fully equipped cottage style kitchen with a dining area and separate utility room, lounge with wood burner, dining room with inglenook fireplace & garden room all with views over the extensive gardens. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom is an en-suite bathroom with stunning forest views & king sized bed, a second bedroom with king sized double bed and a third that can be a twin or children's room (with a travel cot & matress) & a family bathroom with shower. The large secure front garden has a lawn area and various outside seating to enjoy the all day sunshine. The large back garden is divided into 2 sections, the first an enclosed area with outside lounge seating & BBQ on raised decking with steps down to a patio dining area and lawn which overlooks the rest of the garden. There is pretty pond area, which is fenced off from the house & main garden, with a pontoon and small pond house where you can picnic and watch the ducks and the occasional Kingfisher whilst overlooking the beautiful Willow Tree and tranquil surroundings. There is a great country pub a short walk away and the local village of Lyndhurst is close by offering a wonderful selection of shops, bike hire, coffee shops and places to eat. The picturesque village of Brockenhurst is a 10 minute drive or bus journey away (with the main line train with frequent trains to London and the South Coast). The New Forest is at your doorstep with endless walks, cycle paths and places to explore & enjoy. If it's a beach you're looking for, just 20 minutes away you have the choice of the beautiful sandy beaches and beach huts of Mudeford or the marina and stunning town of Lymington where crabbing and fish and chips on the quay are a must. A fantastic family cottage offering a beautiful, peaceful location but with so much to do - a perfect holiday home.

Fabulous tranquil setting with forest ponies right outside the door. Our host was really helpful and quick to respond. The house was really comfortable, well equipped and the equipment / towels were really high quality. The nearby Oak pub did us proud for food and drink, and there were abundant forest walks in every direction. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming home away from home

This property was even better in person than the pictures, it was perfection. We could of stayed longer and there was as much in the house as out the house to do, my 7 year old was happy for hours playing with toys inside and outside, me and my older daughter felt very relaxed and happy pottering around. Acorn cottage really was an ideal home away from home.

Fantastic cottage

The cottage is set in a beautiful area and has a stunning garden/grounds. We were so lucky with our weather and spent most of our time exploring the forest, which is right on your doorstep. Maria is an excellent host and left homemade goodies and a gift for our grand daughter. The cottage has all the amenities that you could need. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Fabulous, quaint, cozy cottage!

The cottage is beautiful and cozy and the grounds are lovely. We walked out of the front gate and directly across the lane into the forest shared with horses. When we drove into the property when we first arrived, we were greeted by about 40 beautiful deer. The location is awesome with a short walk to an old cozy lovely pub and a bit longer walk into Lyndhurst and the forest entrance right across the lane. It was so peaceful and quiet. We did a lot of cooking and the cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and warm and the rooms were spacious. We had a wonderful week reconnecting with family and forest-bathing. Maria was an awesome host, very warm and responsive. We would love to return!

Charming cottage

We (a family of four) spent a fantastic holiday in this charming cottage, and it was everything we hoped for. Both the cottage itself and the garden were ideal, with all the amenities we needed for a most enjoyable stay. The location was ideal for exploring nearby trails and the local pub! Overall, it was a great experience, and we would certainly return!

Boutique hotel vibe, very comfortable and easy to relax in the house and outside.in the glorious garden and grounds. The quality of the household items and linens was not lost on us and all the bespoke touches that Maria went to the trouble of surprising us with were enjoyed and appreciated. Couldn't have wished for a better weekend.

A stunning wintery weekend away

We had such a lovely time at Acorn cottage, it was absolutely perfect in every way. Communication with Maria throughout super easy and the cottage is stunning, probably one of the most well thought out, well stocked getaways we've stayed at. We did plenty of local walks straight from the cottage and had a few stop offs on the way home in the local pub. We also visited on a pretty wintery weekend so it made the forest and the pub that little bit more festive. We would definitely return.
