Nestled in the charming village of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, this unique lodge offers an inviting retreat for up to six guests. Built over 300 years ago, the property boasts a rich history while providing modern comforts. Its prime location on the edge of the New Forest makes it an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts, with abundant opportunities for walking and cycling amidst the stunning scenery. Additionally, the lodge is conveniently situated just a 20-minute drive from the beach at Bournemouth, making it a perfect spot for those looking to enjoy both forest and coastal experiences.
The lodge features three well-appointed bedrooms, accommodating a variety of guest arrangements. Bedroom 1 includes two single beds, while Bedroom 2 is furnished with a double bed. The spacious Bedroom 3 offers a king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom, complete with a shower. Guests will appreciate the central bathroom that includes both a shower and a bath, catering to various needs. The large kitchen is designed for communal dining, comfortably seating six to eight people, and the lounge area provides a cozy space for relaxation. Although there are stairs as the property spans two floors, the layout is functional for families or groups.
Families will find plenty of attractions nearby to keep children entertained. A short drive from the lodge leads to Moors Valley, where kids can enjoy a zip wire and other outdoor activities. For fans of Peppa Pig, the Paultons Family Theme Park, home to Peppa Pig World, is also within easy reach. The local area features a fantastic park with an open-air paddling pool available in July, as well as opportunities for river wading. In addition, the vibrant dining scene includes several foodie pubs and restaurants, with a delightful local pub situated by the river, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
While the lodge does not offer outdoor space or a garden, its rural setting provides a peaceful atmosphere for guests. The surrounding area is rich in cultural highlights, such as Cathedral Close and Mompesson House, and shopping options can be found at Market Square and Castle Point Shopping Centre. Nature lovers can engage in activities like game walks and birdwatching, enhancing the experience of staying in this picturesque part of the South of England. With free parking available, this quirky lodge is a wonderful choice for those seeking adventure and relaxation in equal measure.
