About this property

Yew Tree Cottage in the Heart of the New Forest

Tucked away in the heart of the New Forest National Park, just a 15-minute stroll from Lyndhurst and with a lovely country pub only five minutes on foot, this newly refurbished cottage offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.

Dating back to around 1900, the property has been thoughtfully updated to retain its period features while providing everything you need for a relaxing, high-quality holiday. Whether you're planning a romantic escape or a family retreat, this characterful cottage is the ideal place to unwind.

Sleeping up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms, the cottage is accessed via a peaceful gravel track, set amidst open forest where New Forest ponies and cattle roam freely. The setting is wonderfully serene, offering direct access to forest walks and wildlife right from the doorstep.

This beautifully presented property blends modern comforts with countryside charm and direct forest access and walking distance to country pub and Lyndhurst - providing a perfect base for families, friends, or couples looking to relax and explore.

Inside the Cottage
Downstairs, you’ll find a fully equipped modern kitchen—perfect for preparing anything from a simple breakfast to a home-cooked supper. The cosy sitting room with dining area offers a warm, inviting space to unwind. A separate utility lobby provides added convenience, while the contemporary bathroom and ground floor bedroom make this an excellent choice for guests who prefer single-level living.

Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms: the master enjoys front-facing views and a comfortable double bed, while the twin room—with two single beds—is ideal for children or friends sharing.

Outdoor Space
The rear garden features a lawn and outdoor seating—perfect for soaking up the sunshine, enjoying a good book, or firing up the barbecue for an al fresco meal. To the front, a charming cottage garden adds kerb appeal and a welcoming touch with a path leading to a magical forest walk.

Unbeatable Location
Just a short stroll down a quiet country lane lies the much-loved Waterloo Arms—a traditional country pub known for its excellent food and friendly atmosphere.

Nearby Lyndhurst offers a delightful array of independent shops, coffee houses, bike hire and eateries, while Brockenhurst 10 mins away has mainline rail links from London and along the coast

Right from your doorstep, you can wander into the open forest—perfect for walking, cycling, wildlife spotting, or simply soaking up the scenery with a picnic.

Beaulieu is just 15 minutes away with National Motor Museum, and within 20 minutes or so you can be on beaches or wandering the marina and cobbled streets of Lymington. There is so much to see and do.
