Number Four, Hordle

New Forest. Sleeps up to 5

This immaculately presented, newly decorated, three bedroom wing of a large country house, set in two acres of enclosed, private garden, is a superb base for a luxury family holiday or getaway for two couples. The versatile, spacious rooms view the stunning large, flat garden. The log burner in the hall warms the adjacent lounge; ideal for cosy evenings. The fully equipped kitchen/diner/TV Lounge is a comfortable focal point for informal get-togethers and a warm welcome awaits you, including all the essentials for a simple pasta supper, bedtime drink and first breakfast.

Two patios and barbeque are perfect for al fresco dining, barbecuing, glimpsing the Isle of Wight, watching the wildlife or the children playing cricket/rugby/football on their very own sports pitch, kiddies' heaven! Numerous puzzles, games, books and DVDs allow less strenuous activity. The separate games room provides family entertainment before relaxing round the fire pit to toast marshmallows or watch the stars twinkle.

Should you feel the need to leave this tranquil, secluded spot, the house is only five minutes' drive from the New Forest, beach and village shops and a ten minute drive to Sway railway station with links to London, Bournemouth and Southampton. Walking, cycling, horse-riding, fishing, golf, sailing and other water sports are all nearby.
