About Blackbirds

Blackbirds feels so hospitable that it's almost like staying with your favourite family members. The detached holiday cottage is a warm cocoon of comfortable soft furnishings, gentle neutral shades, lots of natural light and leafy forest views. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Bransgore, it feels blissfully peaceful and private, yet is within strolling distance of a cafe, bakery, small supermarket, The Three Tuns and two other pubs serving food. There is space for six people to sleep in three bedrooms, with excellent self-catering facilities for cooking tasty family meals to eat in the dining area or the private garden.

Bransgore is on the western edge of the New Forest National Park, straddling the border between Hampshire and Dorset. It's a top choice for a family self-catering holiday as it gives excellent access to the woodlands and chocolate-box cottages of the New Forest while being within easy reach of Christchurch, Bournemouth, and many beaches. The village once had a thriving brick industry and dates back to Saxon times. A scenic walk leads from the cottage north to Thorney Hill, Vereley Hill and Picket Plain via the Dur Hill enclosure and Kingston Great Common. You can also walk or cycle the three miles to Burley to pick up the Burley Food Trail, take a New Forest Deer Safari, or enjoy a fun wagon ride. Ringwood is a 15-minute drive away, with more shops, tea rooms and amenities. Main supermarkets deliver to the address as well as a number of local restaurants.

Alternate days in the New Forest with days at the coast, swimming, surfing and sailing to your heart's content. Discover many local beaches, from busy seaside resorts to quiet coves. Days out can also include sightseeing at local attractions, horse riding, golf, and fishing. With holiday bookings available all year round, you'll always find time to take a break in this relaxed and beautiful part of England.

Accommodation Comprises:

Blackbirds is a spacious detached single-storey holiday home with an enclosed garden and off-street parking. Being on a residential cul-de-sac means there is no passing traffic to disturb your peace.

  • Put the TV on and settle back on the sofa or in an armchair, relishing in the cosy warmth of a real log fire. Timber floors stretch through to the dining area and conservatory, with lots of natural light flooding in during the day. The TV has Sky Q and a DVD player, and there is a selection of board games.
  • There are double-glazed doors between the living/dining room and the conservatory, ensuring you stay snug in winter with the option to open the space up and let in the gentle summer breeze. There's a sofa and an armchair to admire the garden views with your morning cup of tea.
