Teddy’s has been lovingly refurbished to provide all the comforts of home whilst holidaying in this beautiful part of the New Forest. With plenty of living space, a cosy wood burner and downstairs bedroom and bathroom, the cottage offers flexible accommodation. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a shower room. Outside the peaceful garden has plenty of seating for both relaxing and dining, and a lawn for garden games.
Teddy’s is just a short walk from the amenities of the village of Sway and the New Forest National Park, perfect for walking, cycling or exploring on horseback. Sway is a traditional quintessential village on the southern fringes of the New Forest. You will find an independent butchers and deli/coffee shop, pharmacy, village Co-Op, two popular village pubs and a train station. Surrounded by magnificent ancient woodland and open heathland, yet only four miles from Lymington and the Solent foreshore, a holiday cottage in Sway makes an ideal base from which to explore the New Forest and the south coast.
Teddy’s is suitable for a maximum of 6 adults and 3 children due to the bed configurations.
The rear garden is fully enclosed with a patio area and dining set for meals al fresco. A corner sofa and egg chair offer relaxed seating and a gate leads through to a flat lawned area.
Sway is a small but thriving and busy village surrounded by open forest and countryside. Its famous landmark is Sway Tower, which at 200ft tall can be seen for miles. The tower is also known as Peterson's Folly, after Andrew Peterson who built it on his private estate between 1879–1885.
Sway has a mainline train station (London Waterloo to Weymouth line) and good selection of friendly shops. These include a well-stocked convenience store, Deli and coffee shop, chemist, hairdressers, newsagents and post office. Supermarkets and high street stores can be found in New Milton and Lymington, both only 4 miles away.
Other notable buildings include the pretty Victorian St Lukes C of E church and Artsway – a gallery and arts centre well worth stopping by. It hosts local and international exhibitions as well as educational workshops. The Jubilee Sports Ground offers flood lit tennis courts, football pitch and cricket ground and pavilion. The village community host several events and drama productions throughout the year, the highlight being Sway Carnival – the whole village turns out to cheer on the carnival procession along bunting crowded streets.
You don’t need to leave the village for great food and drink. The Silver Hind serves fabulous food in their restaurant with bar, winning consistent rave reviews, and it’s very dog-friendly too. The Hare and Hounds is a comfy pub with beer garden and designated children’s play area. They serve good value traditional pub fare. The Manor Restaurant sources local produce to create more elaborate and tasty dishes. Great for foodies who want a lovely meal without fine dining prices.
