New for 2023
Originally the village school in Victorian times, Old School Cottage is a semi-detached Grade 2 listed cob and thatch cottage quietly situated in attractive gardens within the local Chewton Common conservation area in Highcliffe. Just a 15 minute stroll to the sea and sandy beach via a woodland footpath, Old School Cottage is perfectly positioned for a relaxing holiday by the sea. The New Forest National Park, with its free roaming ponies, donkeys and cattle is just a short drive or cycle away.
The cosy characterful property sleeps up to four guests and welcomes four-legged friends too, and with an all year round dog friendly beach nearby, it’s a great spot for a holiday with your pet. The comfortable sitting room has exposed beams and ornamental old brick fireplaces. The little kitchen leads into the downstairs bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, with the master bedroom leading into a twin bedroom. There is private parking and a good sized rear garden, mainly laid to lawn, with outdoor furniture for meals and drinks al fresco.
The coastal town of Highcliffe has an array of shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants found along the bustling high street. The popular Paddle café is a short walk away, as is the Cliffhanger Restaurant near the sea front, both dog-friendly and well worth a visit.
Highcliffe beach is popular with families and surfers alike and can be reached along a wooded footpath following a stream through Chewton Bunny nature reserve. Once on the beach you can follow the south coastal path leading right around Christchurch Bay and beyond. Highcliffe beach, Friars Cliff beach and Avon beach have all recently been awarded blue flag status and been given a seaside award which means they are among the best beaches in the UK. Enjoy crabbing at bustling Mudeford Quay and the stunning landscapes of Hengistbury Head, along with the New Forest National Park, Highcliffe Castle and Christchurch which are all just a short drive or cycle away.
Old School Cottage can be booked alongside Little Meggs to accommodate a maximum of six guests.
Please note: The owner’s cottage is next to Old School Cottage and on occasion may be inhabited.
