1 Bedroom Lodge in Christchurch

Get back to nature with a stay in this stylish timber-framed property, which is set in a leafy spot with its own hot tub. Set on the edge of The New Forest National Park, this area is a great base for a relaxing break. You can easily visit the beautiful beaches at Mudeford and Avon or get active with a long walk or cycle along one of the many routes nearby, all weaving through spectacular countryside. Ringwood and Christchurch are within 4 miles and offer a good range of amenities including restaurants, shops and cafes. In both towns, you can enjoy riverside walks or wander around the shops, many of which are independent.

Part of a complex of similar properties, an undulating woodland path and steps lead from the parking area to this detached cabin. The property is tucked in a private and sheltered spot, alongside the owner's home and the B3347. Cross the veranda to the entrance door into the property, which opens into a welcoming open-plan living space, cleverly divided to include all of your home comforts. There is a kitchen area, room to dine together, and comfortable seating that's perfect for cosy evenings in. Designed with rest and relaxation in mind and perhaps a spot of romance, the spacious bedroom has a fabulous free-standing bath within it, ideal for a long soak. Just across the living space is the shower room.

Heading back outside and onto the veranda, you'll find furniture ideal for enjoying a sundowner or your morning coffee, and of course the all important hot tub where you can let your worries melt away. The owners have a small pond nearby, so you may occasionally hear the resident ducks asking for their feed.
