Country cottage set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the New Forest

The Snug is a newly converted one bedroom cottage nestled in an idyllic country hamlet, on the edge of Somerley Park and just minutes from the New Forest National Park. Very close to the ancient market town of Ringwood, which has a range of shops including Waitrose and Waterstones. The cottage is attached to the owner's property, but is very private with a beautiful sunny, secluded garden terrace.

The spacious ground floor accommodation provides a large double bedroom with king-size bed, luxury en-suite shower room, fully equipped galley kitchen and oak-beamed, large cosy sitting room with wood burner.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
