The cottage is reportedly one of the oldest in the village it is situated opposite Pennington Common an area ideal for dog walking also with a new childrens play area.

There is a dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, fridge freezer, microwave and is well stocked with crockery and utensils. There is seating for 4 around a circular dining table.
The kitchen is open plan leading into a tastefully decorated lounge thoughtfully modernised but still retaining a beautiful black cast iron fireplace in keeping with the age of the property. There is a freeview TV with Netflix and Virgin TV.
The lounge opens into a fully enclosed mature garden safe for your dog. Well stocked with plants and an ideal sun trap for Al fresco dining or relaxing on deck chairs provided.
Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms,1 double with small feature cast iron fireplace and 1 single. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage and hanging space for your clothes.
As with all cottages of this age the stairs are steep so particular care be taken with small children and anybody with mobility problems.
The village of Pennington is no more than a few minutes walk away and has two convenience stores one being Tescos. There is also a chemist,fish & chip shop and pub with food. Also within walking distance is an indoor swimmimg pool.
The attractive Georgian town of Lymington is 5 minutes drive or a 15 min walk away. There is a fantastic Saturday market which is spread down the length of the High Street. There are many individual shops, restaurants and cafes. There is a lovely cobbled street leading down to the picturesque harbour. In the summer there is a terrific outdoor sea water pool with large inflateable area with a section for paddle boarding as well as swimming.

Pretty Victorian Cottage

Very comfortable little cottage, conveniently located, in a quite residential area, across from common land. Walking distance to Lymington, which is a charming town, which boasts a smallish but varied market on a Saturday. 20min drive to coastal walks, and forest walks. Cottage was very clean and charmingly decorated. Beds were comfy Garden also nice, but didn’t get time to sit out as we were so busy! We had 5 days there. Perfect to see and do everything in the area. Host was very friendly. Delicious lemon cake was waiting for us when we arrived

Beautiful quaint country cottage. Tastefully decorated incorporating the pictures and ornaments you would expect in a traditional cottage. It was spotlessly clean and could not fault it in anyway. Our dog Roxy loved the garden with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, it was also well maintained and mature. The host was the best host I've ever dealt with. Good location to Lymington town centre. Highly recommend this cottage. Ex

Lovely & quaint cottage.

I stayed here with my son over Easter & we loved our mini holiday in the quaint little cottage. Its beautifully presented, is well equiped & had everything we needed. A real home from home.We really appreciated the milk & lovely bscuits, what a treat!The garden is a real bonus, has some lovely seatng areas & is so pretty & very peaceful.Yes the stairs are steep but they've in character with the cottage & we were warned beforehand. If you need the second bedroom please let the owners know before hand, otherwise only the double bed is made up, unfortunate that I didnt!I look forward to another stay.

Charming little cottage

We were very lucky with the weather which helps but we love the area as there is always something to do. The cottage was spotless and has all amenities (apart from washing machine no space ) and there was a very nice cake awaiting us as well as tea ,coffee and milk . Parking was fine on quiet street and the garden is a delight. The owner kindly reminded us about the steep stairs but we managed as we did with downstairs bathroom. Overall highly recommended for a relaxing stay in New Forest.

Excellent cottage

Loved the cottage, so quaint, clean, warm, cosy, it was beautiful. The stairs are a bit scary, but if you take your time and duck you are fine, part and parcel of the cottage. Only downside the 'village' not really there. A car ride to get anywhere, but it didn't spoil it at all. Was so sad to leave the cottage. Beautiful, just loved it. Thank you .
