Located in the small village of Minstead, just three miles north of Lyndhurst (the 'Capitial' of the Forest) is this double bedded holiday cottage that is located within the garden of the village shop in the heart of the village. With shower room, separate living room and kitchenette, this is a very private and peaceful location that is set in its own small garden, providing an ideal location for a couple who wish to escape the ‘rat race’.
The shop serves a good selection of provisions and is situated on the village green and within walking distance of the village pub, serving excellent food and the village church.
The accommodation is ideally situated to explore the forest on foot, cycle or horseback with plenty of local walks and cycle routes suited to all ages and ability. Cycle hire is also available from the shop if you do not want to bring your own bike (there is secure bike storage if you do). There are golf courses at Bramshaw, Paultons, Lyndhurst, Wellow, Romsey and Dunwood.
Lyndhurst is a must for any visitor and offers a wide range of shops, pubs, the New Forest Museum, tea rooms, cafes and restaurants. It also offers a number of attractions including the Reptile Centre, Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary and Furze Gardens - all pleasant places to visit nearby.
