About this property

Detached New Forest cottage in village of Frogham. This year we have added a heated indoor swimspa to the cottage, it has 3 controllable swim jets to swim against at one end and a benched hydrotherapy area at the other.

This is our home which we used to only rent out during the school holidays, it is certainly not your bland holiday let. It has a homely, characterful feeling and is furnished accordingly.

My sons are letting a property in Godshill, which has been renovated for the past 2 years. It sleeps 6 and has a cedar hot tub which is in a covered gazebo - please see VRBO uk 10275131

It has a south facing cottage garden with a private gravel drive for several cars. Due to the location within the New Forest National Park, ponies, cows and donkeys roam the surrounding roads and area - and seem to favour our driveway entrance as a sunning spot.

This is a home from home, we have talktalkTV, amazon prime, netflix, plentiful books, dvds, games, and basically a fully functional 'everything' - because we live here when not on holiday in one of our other homes.

The cottage has a traditional kitchen with an heartwarming AGA for the cool winter months. It also has a renovated 'Fordingbridge' cast iron range - which has only ever been used in power cuts - but nevertheless makes a great addition to the history of the cottage.

The living room has an inglenook with functional wood burning stove.
The oak staircase leads up to a landing with bookshelves and storage.

One single bedroom has a single bed with guest bed below (John Lewis, which converts to a 5 ft kingsize bed). The bathroom has bath with shower over, wc and basin.

There is another single bedroom with handmade oak bed with new mattress.

The double bedroom has a pocket sprung divan bed and a small ensuite with wc, basin and shower.

The garden is a typical cottage garden, with countless seating areas throughout the garden and sun loungers in the tried and tested sun traps.

If you are unsure of our credibility, check our other properties on this site - you can read the reviews to see that we do provide genuine, quality, homely holiday accommodation - they are for us too, not just for letting out!

A cosy, comfortable home from home

Both the cottage and the pool were perfect for a relaxing week away. We had very mixed weather, but with so many lovely walks within eady reach we were able to make the most of the dry weather when it arrived. We enjoyed daily relaxing dips in the pool, cosy evenings around the log fire and cooking up dinner in the well equipped kitchen. The Foresters Arms and The Potting Shed were both within easy reach and great for eating out. The only downside was that wevhad very heavy rains overnight that flooded a number of the country lanes and cut off the village for a day... but with such a lovely place to stay that was a minor inconvenience.

Great holiday

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very comfortable. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Well placed to go for walks and cycling in the forest and only 30 minutes away from the beach. We enjoyed using the indoor pool and appreciated the robes and towels for coming out of the pool.

Lovely stay

Beautiful house in a great location, lots of nature all around with horses and donkeys passing by daily. Great location for all kinds of visits and activities, we especially loved the archery available at just the other side of Fordingbridge. The pool was a huge bonus, very unique and great fun.

About the host

Hosted by Angela ZW

We are a family of four, we have 2 sons aged 26 and 30. We live in a cottage in the New Forest which we restored over 3 years and have subsequently extended.
We both had careers but enjoyed restoring our home so much that we carried on developing in the UK and renting out properties. It is now our means of income and way of life.

Why they chose this property

We bought the cottage as a derelict shell in 1984 - it was 2 small new forest cottages of cob, brick and slate. The house is in a great position to start walks/cycle from without the need to resort to a car.
We are in a small village which is a ribbon development. There are horses, donkeys and ponies on the road outside and a wealth of other animals in the surroundings.
We spent 3 years working on the house and have since extended the house and added a conservatory.The cottage is classed as a small dwelling, so no huge extensions for us, It has retained its cosy cottage charm and we have added a modern twists
The house is 2 miles from Fordingbridge where there are all the shops and services you would expect from a small town. Larger facilities are in Salisbury - 12 miles, Southampton - 20 miles and Bournemouth - 16 miles.

What makes this property unique

A car is required to access the property as we are in a rural area with no public transport as such - once there with supplies for your stay, a car is not really required.
The cottage is perfectly based to start circular walks/cycle rides from. We never tire of walking from the cottage - there are pubs very close or at longer walking distances for pub lunches or summer evenings.
This is a home from home - for real, we used to let the cottage out in school holidays, but now it is all year as we can fit our stays accordingly with our travels abroad.
The house has everything you would expect and more.
It is a cottage so expect low ceilings, small rooms, inglenook, wood burner, wifi, antiques, aga (winter only) but it has the luxuries of modern life-dishwasher, oil central heating, double glazing.
It is a home so we have all our pictures, books, and games even a phone to use to call family in the UK or mobiles in the UK.
