The Orangery is a newly built and beautifully finished holiday home for up to four guests and two dogs. The accommodation is all on one level, and is set in a gated courtyard behind Trafalgar Cottage, The Orangery can also be booked with the neighbouring Potting Shed (to sleep 9) and for larger groups, with Trafalgar Cottage (to sleep 17). Approached along a private track, the cottages are surrounded by a walled garden, now a stunning 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.
Inside, the sociable open plan living space has a comfortable squishy corner sofa arranged around the log burning stove and Smart TV. A well-equipped kitchen and dining area overlook the garden to the side, reached through bi-fold doors which can be fully opened to bring the outside in during the warm summer months. Two comfortable bedrooms, the master with ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom, complete the accommodation.
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.
The Orangery can be booked along with Trafalgar Cottage (sleeping 8), The Potting Shed (sleeping 5) and or as a whole Trafalgar gardens (sleeping 17).
The garden is fully enclosed and private, being bordered by an ancient wall and high fencing. With a flat area of lawn and paved terrace, a picnic bench allows for al fresco dining and drinks. A footpath next to the cottage winds down towards the river, with peaceful walks alongside the water and through the woodland.
