New Forest Cottage, charming & full of character in the heart of The New Forest

Located in the heart of The New Forest in the beautiful hamlet of Bank, Acorn Cottage is an idyllic place to stay, wether for a family retreat or for a romantic getaway. The cottage, much of which dates back to 1760, retains charm & character but features all the modern appliances you will need for a relaxing luxury holiday. There are gorgeous 3 bedrooms that sleep 6. Set in an acre of garden on the open Forest where the New Forest ponies & cows are your frequent visitors, as well as the ducks that live in the garden. Newly decorated, we offer exceptional quality, comfort & luxury. Downstairs there is a fully equipped cottage style kitchen with a dining area and separate utility room, lounge with wood burner, dining room with inglenook fireplace & garden room all with views over the extensive gardens. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom is an en-suite bathroom with stunning forest views & king sized bed, a second bedroom with king sized double bed and a third that can be a twin or children's room (with a travel cot & matress) & a family bathroom with shower. The large secure front garden has a lawn area and various outside seating to enjoy the all day sunshine. The large back garden is divided into 2 sections, the first an enclosed area with outside lounge seating & BBQ on raised decking with steps down to a patio dining area and lawn which overlooks the rest of the garden. There is pretty pond area, which is fenced off from the house & main garden, with a pontoon and small pond house where you can picnic and watch the ducks and the occasional Kingfisher whilst overlooking the beautiful Willow Tree and tranquil surroundings. There is a great country pub a short walk away and the local village of Lyndhurst is close by offering a wonderful selection of shops, bike hire, coffee shops and places to eat. The picturesque village of Brockenhurst is a 10 minute drive or bus journey away (with the main line train with frequent trains to London and the South Coast). The New Forest is at your doorstep with endless walks, cycle paths and places to explore & enjoy. If it's a beach you're looking for, just 20 minutes away you have the choice of the beautiful sandy beaches and beach huts of Mudeford or the marina and stunning town of Lymington where crabbing and fish and chips on the quay are a must. A fantastic family cottage offering a beautiful, peaceful location but with so much to do - a perfect holiday home.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of New Forest Museum. A kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms are available in the cottage.

Fabulous, quaint, cozy cottage!
The cottage is beautiful and cozy and the grounds are lovely. We walked out of the front gate and directly across the lane into the forest shared with horses. When we drove into the property when we first arrived, we were greeted by about 40 beautiful deer. The location is awesome with a short walk to an old cozy lovely pub and a bit longer walk into Lyndhurst and the forest entrance right across the lane. It was so peaceful and quiet. We did a lot of cooking and the cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and warm and the rooms were spacious. We had a wonderful week reconnecting with family and forest-bathing. Maria was an awesome host, very warm and responsive. We would love to return!

Charming cottage
We (a family of four) spent a fantastic holiday in this charming cottage, and it was everything we hoped for. Both the cottage itself and the garden were ideal, with all the amenities we needed for a most enjoyable stay. The location was ideal for exploring nearby trails and the local pub! Overall, it was a great experience, and we would certainly return!

Exceeded our hopes
Boutique hotel vibe, very comfortable and easy to relax in the house and outside.in the glorious garden and grounds. The quality of the household items and linens was not lost on us and all the bespoke touches that Maria went to the trouble of surprising us with were enjoyed and appreciated. Couldn't have wished for a better weekend.

Our second visit and just as good. Maria is the perfect host and the cottage is gorgeous, with beautiful touches like fresh flowers and sweet treats. The location is spellbinding, private but with the forest on your doorstep - literally! We will be back again, and can’t wait.

A stunning wintery weekend away
We had such a lovely time at Acorn cottage, it was absolutely perfect in every way. Communication with Maria throughout super easy and the cottage is stunning, probably one of the most well thought out, well stocked getaways we've stayed at. We did plenty of local walks straight from the cottage and had a few stop offs on the way home in the local pub. We also visited on a pretty wintery weekend so it made the forest and the pub that little bit more festive. We would definitely return.

to be noted
Lovely property, great location, but the dinning room was very dark so we never used this room and there were quite a lot of steps within the property which for some people maybe an issue.

The perfect getaway
We had the most wonderful time at Acorn Cottage, as every little thing is catered for from all the games provided inside and out, to the the peaceful setting, where you can relax in the extensive gardens, or in the tranquility of the cottage. We loved that there are walks straight into the forest, without having to take the car and where the ponies literally walk past the front gate. Maria is a wonderful host and provided so many extras, including a delicious cake, bread, jam, wine, milk, juice, as well as a selection of teas and coffees. Thank you so much for a perfect break away.

It truly was idyllic…
…from the communication with Maria and the lovely treats she left us to the picturesque cottage in the perfect location. Immaculately clean with everything you could wish for to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It really was even better than we had imagined it would be, immersed in nature and wildlife with all the creature comforts of a lovely home and a host that goes above and beyond. Thank you Maria - Josh and I can’t wait to return.

Amazing - Highly Recommend
What an amazing place. Maria is a Fantastic host, really helpful. We were welcomed with a lovely homemade birthday cake for my husband’s birthday. The pictures really don’t do the cottage justice. The outside space was absolutely amazing, we brought our puppy and he had the best time in the garden. You cross the road and are straight into the forest for amazing walks.

Wonderful as always!
This was our third time at the property. Cannot fault anything. It just gets better. Maria, our host, was always on hand if we needed her and nothing was a problem. The cottage and gardens are stunning. We were visited by ponies and had a little foal running up the drive. Short walk to The Oak Inn which was also very good. We are already looking at dates to return and will many more times. Absolutely first class.

What a beautiful house and what a beautiful part of the world! Walk out of the property into the forest, or 3 minutes up the road to the pub, what a gorgeous dilemma. The cottage has everything you could wish for, including a beautiful garden, and Maria was a generous and thoughtful host. We will definitely be coming back!

2nd stay and still perfect
We stayed for 4 nights for our second visit this year. Maria was again the perfect host and we were greeted with lots of goodies for us and our doodle. Rained a lot, but still an idyllic place to stay. Lots of walks with doggie, who met lots of deer, horses and donkeys. Its just so relaxing. Friends came and joined us for a night and rapidly fell in love with the cottage too. Already discussing plans for next year. Thoroughly recommend!
