Hungerford Cottage sleeps four guests in two bedrooms and is the annex to the main house which dates back over two hundred years old (with some parts dating back four hundred years). Formerly part of the old Post Office in the village of Minstead, it is situated in the heart of the New Forest and surrounded by ancient oak forest. It is set in a peaceful and quiet position, where ponies and cattle wander past the gate. Here you can watch the locals driving their pony traps through the village whilst whiling away the time seated in your own patio.
The quiet village of Minstead is just two miles from Lyndhurst the New Forest’s capital. Minstead has a wonderful village shop, serving news papers, local foods and freshly brewed coffee, along with the Trusty Servant, the village pub, which serves a selection of local ales and home-cooked meals. Both are a few minutes stroll from the cottage.
Both the Hampshire and Dorset coastlines with their wonderful beaches are a thirty minutes drive from Minstead and the wonderful cities of Winchester and Salisbury are half an hour drive from the cottage.
There are numerous attractions and places to visit in this beautiful area. Why not explore Lymington a Georgian town located on the river Lym with its wide range of independent boutiques. It is well known as a yachting centre with one the best Saturday street markets in the South. From Lymington you can take a day trip on the ferry to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight and walk along Tennyson Down to the Needles on the Western edge of the island. Portsmouth too is within easy reach and the home of HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose. Steeped with naval history, Portsmouth is well worth a days visit.
