Lovely cottage - thoughtful touch with the ‘mini hamper’ and milk. The pub and shop are an easy stroll away.

About the host

Hosted by Nicky Ryde

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the New Forest when we used to bring the children here for beach and forest holidays. We moved here ten years ago and live only a few miles from Everton. We love the lifestyle being near the coast and New Forest - we enjoy sailing and all things boats as well as long walks with our dogs on the forest.

What makes this property unique

We bought April Cottage in 2016 and spent the early part of 2017 renovating the cottage. Everton is an extremely friendly village with lovely local facilities. We loved this cottage because of its beautiful rooms and private walled garden to the rear that leads out on to a lovely lane with a short walk to the local pub for a lunch or evening meal. The village is incredibly well positioned for access to both the coast and forest.
