About this cottage rental
Lovely Finnish log cabin with amazing Forest views, superbly located next to Ringwood Forest with direct forest access.
In 2023 the property had a complete make-over - the new spacious layout is designed for 10 persons with a cosy in-door living for those cold wet months, with a Scandinavian Wood-Burning Stove at the centre of the open plan area.
The property is ideal for 2 families, with 3 newly renovated bathrooms, and ample living space. The modern kitchen has a 10 person dining table and opens to the outdoor terrace dining and hot tub through French Doors.
The unique feature is the landscaped lawn, trees & mature garden, which is gated, fenced and private to the cottage. The property backs on to Ringwood Forest with miles and miles of walks and cycling areas, including the Castleman Trailways and Moors Valley Country Park.
The location is also conveniently close to the A338/A31 for easy access to both the New Forest (10 mins), Bournemouth Beach (15 mins), and multiple Dorset/Hampshire pubs and restaurants

What an incredible little place. We really felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Super relaxing way to spend the New Year. The facilities were great and we actually thought it was much nicer than even the photos represented online. We loved the little bunker sauna and plunge pool; made a real experience.Timo was faultless in his attentiveness to what we needed whilst we were down there and super accommodating on some issues we had with getting down on the dates we booked. All in all I highly recommend the place and we'd love to revisit.
