Character Victorian Cottage Opposite Common Land within New Forest National Park

Charming homely centrally heated Victorian Cottage in the village of Pennington opposite the common which is of scientific interest with 6 species of orchids thriving within the boundaries of the New Forest National park. The cottage is reportedly one of the oldest in the village it is situated opposite Pennington Common an area ideal for dog walking also with a new childrens play area.
The cottage consists of a hallway, a modern bathroom with toilet and rain shower over bath.There is a very modern kitchen recently refurbished. There is a dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, fridge freezer, microwave and is well stocked with crockery and utensils. There is seating for 4 around a circular dining table.
The kitchen is open plan leading into a tastefully decorated lounge thoughtfully modernised but still retaining a beautiful black cast iron fireplace in keeping with the age of the property. There is a freeview TV with Netflix and Virgin TV.
The lounge opens into a fully enclosed mature garden safe for your dog. Well stocked with plants and an ideal sun trap for Al fresco dining or relaxing on deck chairs provided.
Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms,1 double with small feature cast iron fireplace and 1 single. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage and hanging space for your clothes.
As with all cottages of this age the stairs are steep so particular care be taken with small children and anybody with mobility problems.
The village of Pennington is no more than a few minutes walk away and has two convenience stores one being Tescos. There is also a chemist,fish & chip shop and pub with food. Also within walking distance is an indoor swimmimg pool.
The attractive Georgian town of Lymington is 5 minutes drive or a 15 min walk away. There is a fantastic Saturday market which is spread down the length of the High Street. There are many individual shops, restaurants and cafes. There is a lovely cobbled street leading down to the picturesque harbour. In the summer there is a terrific outdoor sea water pool with large inflateable area with a section for paddle boarding as well as swimming. Looking to go further a field there is a regular ferry service to the Isle of White.
We have put a great deal of thought and consideration to make your stay a comfortable and a memorable experience.

Beautiful quaint country cottage. Tastefully decorated incorporating the pictures and ornaments you would expect in a traditional cottage. It was spotlessly clean and could not fault it in anyway. Our dog Roxy loved the garden with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, it was also well maintained and mature. The host was the best host I've ever dealt with. Good location to Lymington town centre. Highly recommend this cottage. Ex

Pretty Victorian Cottage

Very comfortable little cottage, conveniently located, in a quite residential area, across from common land. Walking distance to Lymington, which is a charming town, which boasts a smallish but varied market on a Saturday. 20min drive to coastal walks, and forest walks. Cottage was very clean and charmingly decorated. Beds were comfy Garden also nice, but didn’t get time to sit out as we were so busy! We had 5 days there. Perfect to see and do everything in the area. Host was very friendly. Delicious lemon cake was waiting for us when we arrived

Lovely little cottage

We very much enjoyed our 3-night stay at the cottage. It was spotlessly clean inside with a well-equipped kitchen - handy as we like to cook in the evenings. Lovely garden too. Good location for visiting rivers, coast and New Forest.

Just perfect!

Gorgeous cottage situated in the New Forest, opposite the Common which our dog loved running around. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and very well equipped although there are some lovely local pubs which do excellent food. The garden is lovely certainly a sun trap but has shade too. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay.
