This is Castle House Cottage in Horton. It's attached to our house but it's totally separate. You've got your own door, a bit of garden, and parking on the drive.
It sleeps four, two bedrooms and one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating so it's comfortable and well looked after. Everything's on the ground floor which is handy.
There's a woodburning stove for colder nights. It's got the usual stuff: Wi-Fi, TV, dishwasher, washing machine. Bedding and towels are included. One well-behaved dog is allowed.
The village is quiet, mostly fields. There's a pub a few minutes walk away. The nearest shop is about two miles.
You're in a good spot here. The New Forest is about a 20 minute drive. Poole and Bournemouth are roughly half an hour. You can be on the Sandbanks beach in about 35 minutes if the traffic's okay.
For walks and things to do, the New Forest National Park website is useful. For local history and coast, you could look at the National Trust Dorset page.
