Nestled close to the charming village of Woodgreen, this gorgeous cottage offers an idyllic retreat amidst the breathtaking scenery of the New Forest National Park. Despite its charming ambience on a working farm, it provides easy access to a variety of attractions. Families can enjoy the thrills of Paultons Park just 11 miles away or venture 24 miles to Marwell Zoo for an unforgettable wildlife experience. History buffs will appreciate the proximity to Salisbury Cathedral, just 9 miles distant, housing a replica of the Magna Carta. Explore the New Forest's historic landscape through numerous walking and horse-riding trails, whilst nearby amenities ensure convenience throughout your stay.

 Guests are welcomed into a generous entrance hall via a covered porch, with ample space for coats and boots. This leads through into a gorgeous kitchen/dining space, featuring a modern farmhouse-style kitchen, with everything you could need to feed your fellow travellers, whilst allowing for space to dine on the dining table and chairs. Alternatively, you could just relax with the TV on or with a good book on the comfortable armchair. The sitting room is both characterful and cosy, with a beautiful fireplace with a wood burner, exposed brickwork and delightful oak beams. Situated beyond is a family bathroom with a separate shower and bath. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, each housing a king-size bed (which can be rearranged into two singles by prior arrangement).

Outside, there is a pretty garden enclosed on all sides by fencing and a gate. This lawned area is the ideal spot for children to entertain themselves whilst the adults unwind in the hot tub on the terrace. This terrace area is a real suntrap and also benefits from outdoor dining furniture, designed to make the most of the wonderful views over the River Avon and the rolling Hampshire countryside beyond.

The cottage itself is lovely, warm and cosy and could be even cosier with the log burner. We didn't need it, but just seeing it makes it feel cosy! The welcome pack was lovely, very welcomed and the dogs even had their own "welcome pack" which made us feel really happy as we felt not only were they accepted but they were actively welcomed.

Lovely, clean, comfortable and cosy cottage. It is situated in a lovely place and has a secure garden for the dog(s) or children to enjoy. Sian was also very helpful.

Fabulous cottage - very clean and well presented, with very comfortable beds. Dog bed/bowls/towel all provided with secure garden & outside dog wash (warm & cold taps) were all very considerate extra touches. Lovely hamper with goodies on arrival made it feel even more of a special stay.

We had the best time at the Old Avon Cottage. Its a beautiful private cottage with a wonderful garden in a fabulous surrounding. The house and garden are both very well equipped and we felt extremely welcome. We enjoyed the hot tub, walkpaths and the pubs nearby. And loved the visit to the horses and cows. Would highly recommend it.

Lovely cottage with very well thought out amenities. Hot tub & BBQ setup ready for use, Well kept garden and secure for dogs. A special thank you for the lovely provisions that were left for us, a special treat! Very clean and well laid out property with 3 nice size double bedrooms. Our only issue would be the location with a 1 year-old baby as it Read morewas not very pram friendly,but we did think this would be the case in the New Forest and partly expected this. Lovely local pub which we drove too. Hide
