Brambles is a cosy, dog-friendly woodland retreat tucked away on the edge of the New Forest, offering peace, privacy and direct access to miles of scenic walking and cycling routes. Perfect for couples looking to escape the everyday, this charming single-storey hideaway is surrounded by nature and boasts its own private paddock exclusively for guests and their dogs.
Inside, the bright open-plan living space combines a comfortable lounge, dining area and well-equipped kitchen, creating a welcoming place to relax after a day exploring the forest. French doors open onto a private patio, inviting you to enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco while listening to birdsong. The comfortable double bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay.
Whether you're seeking long countryside walks, wildlife spotting or simply somewhere to switch off, Brambles provides a wonderfully tranquil base in one of the New Forest's most beautiful locations.
The nearby village of Bashley, located less than three miles away, offers a handful of useful amenities including a small supermarket with a Post Office, a garage, and two well-regarded garden centres – one of which boasts a popular café. Foodies will enjoy the excellent farm shop selling award-winning local produce, and there are two dog-friendly pubs serving hearty meals and local ales.
For a wider selection of shops, restaurants, and coastal attractions, the market town of New Milton and the historic harbour town of Christchurch are both within easy reach. Guests can also explore the charming New Forest villages of Brockenhurst and Burley, each just a 15–20 minute drive away, offering further opportunities for walking, dining, and wildlife spotting.
Please note: Access to Brambles is via a maintained gravel road. While it adds to the secluded rural feel of the property.
Outside, the enclosed patio is a peaceful spot to unwind amongst mature planting, while the real highlight is the private paddock just moments away. Reserved exclusively for guests, it's ideal for dogs to stretch their legs, play safely or simply enjoy the open space. A gate from the paddock leads directly onto a quiet forest lane, giving instant access to countless walking and cycling trails without needing to use the car.
