About the host
Hosted by Anthea Olden

I live in Ringwood with my family. We love to spend time walking or cycling in the New Forest. We also love to visit the local beaches for kayaking or walks with our dogs, some of which are dog friendly all year round. Another favourite time to go is at sunset.
During your stay, I live 5 minutes away from Lilypad so can be available if needed. I am happy to provide you with information on places to visit if you need any suggestions.

Why they chose this property
I am proud to say there are so many beautiful places to visit in this area. There are many outstanding restaurants overlooking the coast, and in the New Forest, where horses roam freely. You are a short drive away from either. Bournemouth is 15 minutes by car, Salisbury is 30 minutes by car. Bus routes are available. Lilypad is walking distance to the bus station. There are plenty of places for families to visit in the area.
What makes this property unique
We are a short stroll from the town centre, where there any many cafes, restaurants and shops, many dog friendly. We have a cycle route behind the property which takes you through miles of off road flat cycling. Moors Valley is a great family day out. Within 15 minute drive you will either be at the Coast at Bournemouth or Christchurch beaches, or the New Forest National Park.
