Burgate Farmhouse is home to Wishing Well Cottage and is located approximately half a mile north of the centre of the country town of Fordingbridge. Situated just a five minutes drive from the edge of the New Forest and close to the A338 Ringwood to Salisbury road, makes this holiday cottage a great central location for touring.
The Farmhouse is a picturesque thatched 15th Century listed property - formerly a genuine farmhouse and today a Grade II listed building. The two self catering cottage wings can be booked individually or together (please note that they are not connecting). Both holiday cottages have television, DVD and video players, microwave, CD/radio cassettes, along with full size cookers. Both are beautifully appointed and presented with a homely feel and have lots of videos and DVD's for guests to borrow. The Cottages are heated by storage heaters, with electric convectors during the winter months for 'top up heat' or during the cooler summer evenings when the storage heaters are switched off. Free Wi-Fi connection and broadband is available.
The New Forest National Park is an area of exceptional natural beauty with moors, large open heaths, dells interspersed with woods and plantations, greens, leafy glades, picturesque brooks and streams and peaceful villages with ancient churches, quaint houses and pubs.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome at a small charge. There is no charge for bed linen, highchair or cot. Electricity is by meter. A small charge is made for the use of the washing machine and tumble drier. The half acre garden is mainly lawn and trees and has a summer house, swings, garden furniture and BBQ for guest's enjoyment. There is plenty of parking in the large gravel area between the garden and cottages. There is also an area for children’s ball games and a games room.

The entrance from the courtyard leads into the new kitchen, fully equipped with microwave, full size cooker, fridge/freezer etc. A sliding door separates the kitchen from the cosy beamed sitting/dining room. There is a small WC downstairs just inside the entrance although access is not ideal but it is useful for children. Stairs lead from the kitchen up to the three bedrooms.
The large master bedroom has a double bed and single bed (plus colour television). It is accessed through the second bedroom. The second bedroom is twin-bedded. In between these rooms is a large walk-in wardrobe. Both these rooms have lovely original beams. The third bedroom along the corridor is smaller with a sloped ceiling and pine bunk beds (full size). The bathroom has a bath with shower over and a washbasin. There is a separate WC upstairs.
Wishing Well is ideally suited for family accommodation. Please note - The extra single bed in the Master Bedroom means that there are beds for seven. However, space in the lounge/dining room is better suited for six. If your party includes several children then seven would probably be OK as the kitchen has a breakfast bar with stools for four. There is a double bedsettee in the lounge which is intended to provide more flexibility for sleeping arrangements and not to increase the number of people accommodated.
