New Forest District Cottage | Beautifully Appointed Riverside Thatched Cottage. Town Centre, Yet Secluded

2 Bedroom Cottage in New Forest District, Fordingbridge

Originally built as a fisherman's cottage, Weir and Duck Cottages have been sympathetically renovated and extended. Outside it is 'chocolate-box' looking but inside is mostly very contemporary, an unusual mix. Please note that unlike many hosts no cleaning fee is imposed but we do ask that the property and neighbours are respected and the property left clean and tidy. High quality bed linen and towels are provided.
The Cottage as you see it from the picture has been converted to form two beautiful self-contained units - Weir Cottage (on left) and Duck Cottage (on right) - see pictures. This listing is for WEIR COTTAGE: TWO BEDROOMS SLEEPING THREE (maybe a fourth in folding bed subject to supplement and prior agreement) - Master bedroom with a very comfortable queen size, restored Victorian bedstead. Duck Cottage can be combined with Weir Cottage to sleep up to 8. See separate listing.
The single bedroom, sleeping one, overlooks the beautiful garden. Luxury linens are provided. The attractive shower room/WC (NO BATH TUB) is also at first floor (upper) level. Please note the original staircase is a little windy so not recommended for guests with limited mobility. Infants can be accommodated if you bring your own travel cot. Older child in a regular bed is fine but less than ideal for the in between age. The optional second bed in smaller room really only suitable for children or petite adult. Sorry, pets are NOT accepted.
A further chic detached self contained pied a terre is available to rent on enquiry, sleeping two plus sofa bed. See picture showing the divisions of the three cottages as viewed from the rear garden.
On entering the cottage is a charming hall with antique furnishings. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with American Fridge Freezer including ice-maker, Neff cooking Appliances, induction cooking hob, dishwasher and washer drier. Smart TV. The kitchen overlooks the park-like garden extending to approximately two acres.
Also off the hall is the cosy sitting room with quality leather furnishings, Smart TV, and flame effect electric fire. A further small sun/reading room leads to a deck area.
Guests may enjoy the garden but please be aware that there are multiple hazards especially if venturing beyond the river. These include natural ponds and a weir so especially unsuited to young children because the river is quite deep with no fence. Tripping is a further risk on the boardwalks. The garden is an oasis in the middle of town and even locals are unaware of the natural treasures that are behind the cottage! A deck, table and chairs exclusively for your use accessed from the small reading/sunroom.
Deer and ducks are frequent visitors even a kingfisher if you are lucky enough to glimpse it. If anyone is in Duck Cottage or Riverside Lodge during your stay then the extended garden might be shared but there is plenty of space to go around and space exclusively for your use We regret that no pets are accepted under any circumstances.

Summary: Our stay at Weir Cottage was wonderful! Beautiful property and house that’s well-maintained. Shane provides everything his guests could need and more, and was great with communication. If you’re thinking about this one, just book your stay. You won’t regret it.
