Description At Home in Hampshire: Rockbourne

This charming 19th-century gate lodge is tucked away in the picturesque Hampshire village of Rockbourne. It’s a romantic retreat equipped with an open fire and an open-plan living and dining space perfectly set up for two. Best of all, there’s a patio garden that’s a great spot for an alfresco meal in warm weather. This cosy home is within walking distance of three pubs and is just 1.5 miles from the New Forest National Park – don't forget your hiking boots.

Home truths:
*Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you – your host just asks that they are kept off the furniture and beds.
*There’s free off-road parking for two cars here.
*This home is more suitable for older children and adults, but babies can be accommodated. Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones on request.
*Your host provides free logs for the fire.
*Given its rural location, mobile signal can be patchy – there is wi-fi and a landline though.
