Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 11 - Linwood, Hampshire

This stunning cottage could be your family retreat in the heart of the New Forest. It's set in over 20 acres of beautiful land and surrounded by the wilderness and stunning walks of this unique area. And that's before you even walk into the beautifully designed rooms inside, with five bedrooms sleeping 11 guests.

Arrive at the glorious grounds of this cottage and you'll know you're in for a secluded and peaceful stay. Surrounded by rolling lawns, enough parking spaces for the whole family and patio areas to enjoy al fresco dining, the outdoors is as much a part of this property as the interior. Head inside to find the spacious main living area, a huge lounge with several different seating areas, exposed beams, gorgeous wooden floors, and a period fireplace with an open fire.

The other reception rooms are just as glorious and cosy. There's a beautiful dining room with another open fireplace and bay window views of the garden, ideal for a celebratory meal. There's a spacious snug for restful mornings or cosy evenings, including its own eating area and TV.

The kitchen is yet another social hub of the house, open plan with spacious cooking and dining areas, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams to really showcase that New Forest light as it streams in from the garden. Upstairs, the bedrooms sit beautifully around the first and second floors. The first-floor master, with sumptuous king-size bed, dressing table, and inspiring views across the lawn, is just the start of it.

A further five bedrooms offer doubles, singles, and zip-and-link options, so everyone can get a sound night's sleep in these tranquil surroundings. Each room has its own colour theme with thoughtful details, mixing modern and traditional country style.
