Self catering cottage in Brockenhurst, Hampshire

Accommodation details

Step out on to the roof terrace at this airy loft apartment in the centre of Brockenhurst to watch the world go by over a cold drink at the end of an active day. Right at the heart of the New Forest village, this one-bedroom apartment makes a great retreat for a couple and their four-legged friend. Enjoy being close to fascinating shops and places to eat out, as well as having easy access to wooded trails, outdoor activities and the south coast.

Head upstairs to this contemporary holiday property, and find yourself in a large, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can relax, cook and sit down to delicious holiday meals. Settle down on the sofa; turn on the TV and take the time to plan the following day's activities. Enjoy the view over the vibrant high street below before heading into the kitchen to prepare supper.

As night falls, go past the shower room to find the bedroom beyond, which has been arranged with a double bed. Open the doors on to the roof terrace in here on balmy evenings and wander out into the morning air when you awake. This loft apartment also comes with a permit to the car park next door. Lace up your walking boots and head straight out to follow forest trails, or hire bikes if you choose and plan circular rides.

Explore the New Forest to your heart's content and then organise a little time down by the sea. Try the beach at Milford on Sea, 8 miles away, or the seawater baths at Lymington, 5 miles away. From Lymington, you can also catch a ferry to head over to the Isle of Wight.
