About this cottage rental
Thimble Cottage sleeps up to 6 guests plus 2 babies.
It is a delightful holiday cottage that provides the best of old world charm combined with modern convenience, offering spacious accomodation with character and style.
This pretty 17th century thatched cottage is furnished to a high standard with 2 living rooms and plenty of comfortable seating.
It is our family holiday home. We also have lots of things young children require including toys which reduces what you need to bring. We also have a well equipped kitchen so cooking at the cottage is easy and we also have need a bean to cup coffee machine. There is a dinning table which seats six and two high chairs.
The garden is large and fully enclosed with two seating areas and a gas BBQ.
Located just north of Lyndhurst we are just 5 mins drive from Paultons Park, the home of Peppa Pig world and a 25 min drive (at the right time of day) from the beach at Mudeford. Obviously there are also all the activites of The Forest itself including walks, cycle paths and pubs.
Please note due to insurance restrictions the wood burner is not available for guests to use.

We loved our time at this charming home! From the fairy tale garden to the comfortable spaces, it is everything us Americans imagine for a typical English countryside home. Malcolm and Tina were wonderful hosts, they went above and beyond when we encountered a minor medical problem, and we enjoyed visiting with them and hearing their experiences of a lifetime in the area. We enjoyed our visit so much, we are already planning a return!

Lovely unique property, nicely decorated and presented. Clean with comfortable beds and pristine bedding. A few wonky bits, areas in need of paint and chips in walls etc due to everyday living.Pretty, secluded garden, in slight need of trimming, pruning and cutting back when we were there, but very pleasant and private with a view of the fields at the back. A few near misses to the head with apples falling from trees whilst we were sitting outside - but all part of the charm!!We had an evening of laughs playing board games left in the cupboard.We were out most of the time, but if the weather had been bad we could have easily stayed in - especially with a separate living room and another lounging area off the kitchen and dining room. If you're tall you will have to mind your head in the older part of the house as you'd expect in a building so old - and the creaky floors upstairs front.Very good quality fittings and kitchen appliances.Modern bathroom and downstairs toilet. There is also a shower in the utility room which we didn't use.In an attractive, good location, in an area with plenty to do. We visited Highcliffe Castle, with is own beach and took the little ferry to and from Hurst Fort out on the headland. Good communication with the host and the next-door key code holder.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay here. Beautiful garden, clean and comfortable interior, great spaces for socializing and cooking. Well equipped! Ample parking. Great position for exploring. Would love to come back again with my children as it has everything you need for little ones too.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Check in was easy. Kitchen was ok. The house smelt musty especially in the wardrobes in the front bedroom so had to leave the doors open. Beds were comfortable.
