Trafalgar Gardens

Trafalgar Gardens is a group of 3 holiday cottages accommodating up to 17 guests. Trafalgar Cottage sleeps eight, The Potting Shed sleeps five and The Orangery sleeps four, with each cottage allowing up to 2 dogs. Approached along a private track, the complex of cottages is surrounded by a walled garden, now a cut flower garden. The grounds were originally part of Trafalgar Park, which was gifted by the state to Lord Nelson's brother following the Battle of Trafalgar, and some of his descendants lie within Standlynch Chapel, nestled next to the cottage. Just a 2 minute stroll takes you to the banks of the River Avon, with peaceful riverside walks along the gently flowing water. The Orangery and The Potting Shed are both single storey cottages, and completely self-contained. Trafalgar Cottage has space enough for all to congregate in the large country dining kitchen for sociable mealtimes. Outside, each property has its own garden, with room for all to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

The Avon Valley Path, which stretches from Salisbury to Christchurch, runs right alongside the cottage, offering beautiful woodland and riverside walks. A circular footpath loop takes you to nearby Downton, the oldest village on the Avon Valley Path, home to a couple of pubs, a café, takeaway and selection of shops.  The New Forest National Park, with miles of footpaths and cycle tracks to explore amongst the free-roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys is a short drive away. Other local attractions include Breamore House, the New Forest Water Park and Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve. The city of Salisbury, with its Cathedral, shops and eateries, is just 7 miles away.
