'Fallow Deer' is a real life Hansel and Gretel-style cottage for little ones with a healthy dose of style and luxury for parents too. This pretty timber clad cottage is nestled in the heart of the New Forest National Park yet just 20 minutes from the coast, and has the added bonus of 17-acres of private fields and woodlands shared only with the home of the cottage owners and a gaggle of animal friends such as the ever popular rabbits, guniea pig and Shetland pony. It’s the perfect rural hideaway for a family of four looking to escape to the country in search of rest, relaxation and exploration!
The house has been thoughtfully finished with families in mind and a delicious freshly baked cake, selection of homemade jams and a chilled bottle of wine are ready and waiting to put guests at ease on arrival. Once settled in, there’s all host of things to do, keen walkers and mini adventurers can don their wellies and head straight to the woods where an array of walks and wildlife await or, for a special treat, head out to the new Peppa Pig World which is just a short drive away at Paultons Park.
Parents need not feel left out as the owners, grandparents themselves, have managed to create a haven of relaxation - perfect for grown-ups in need of a stress free break! The cosy house has a whole range of thoughtful extras more befitting to a boutique hotel than a country cottage. The fridge can be pre-stocked with online shopping groceries so parents’ barely need to lift a finger, perfect after a busy days exploring. For romantic nights out a babysitter can be arranged whilst mums in need of a pamper can make use of the visiting beautician who can pop into the cottage for a spruce up on request!
Guests can now play 'spot the pony in the meadow' or stargaze from a hot tub in the cottage's private garden.
