2 Bedroom Cottage in New Forest District, Fordingbridge

Originally built as a fisherman's cottage, Weir and Duck Cottages have been sympathetically renovated and extended. Outside it is 'chocolate-box' looking but inside is mostly very contemporary, an unusual mix. Please note that unlike many hosts no cleaning fee is imposed but we do ask that the property and neighbours are respected and the property left clean and tidy. High quality bed linen and towels are provided.
The Cottage as you see it from the picture has been converted to form two beautiful self-contained units - Weir Cottage (on left) and Duck Cottage (on right) - see pictures. This listing is for WEIR COTTAGE: TWO BEDROOMS SLEEPING THREE (maybe a fourth in folding bed subject to supplement and prior agreement) - Master bedroom with a very comfortable queen size, restored Victorian bedstead. Duck Cottage can be combined with Weir Cottage to sleep up to 8. See separate listing.
The single bedroom, sleeping one, overlooks the beautiful garden. Luxury linens are provided. The attractive shower room/WC (NO BATH TUB) is also at first floor (upper) level. Please note the original staircase is a little windy so not recommended for guests with limited mobility. Infants can be accommodated if you bring your own travel cot. Older child in a regular bed is fine but less than ideal for the in between age. The optional second bed in smaller room really only suitable for children or petite adult. Sorry, pets are NOT accepted.
A further chic detached self contained pied a terre is available to rent on enquiry, sleeping two plus sofa bed. See picture showing the divisions of the three cottages as viewed from the rear garden.
On entering the cottage is a charming hall with antique furnishings. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with American Fridge Freezer including ice-maker, Neff cooking Appliances, induction cooking hob, dishwasher and washer drier. Smart TV. The kitchen overlooks the park-like garden extending to approximately two acres.
Also off the hall is the cosy sitting room with quality leather furnishings, Smart TV, and flame effect electric fire. A further small sun/reading room leads to a deck area.
Guests may enjoy the garden but please be aware that there are multiple hazards especially if venturing beyond the river. These include natural ponds and a weir so especially unsuited to young children because the river is quite deep with no fence. Tripping is a further risk on the boardwalks. The garden is an oasis in the middle of town and even locals are unaware of the natural treasures that are behind the cottage! A deck, table and chairs exclusively for your use accessed from the small reading/sunroom.
Deer and ducks are frequent visitors even a kingfisher if you are lucky enough to glimpse it. If anyone is in Duck Cottage or Riverside Lodge during your stay then the extended garden might be shared but there is plenty of space to go around and space exclusively for your use We regret that no pets are accepted under any circumstances.

Jhumi N. Apr 16, 2024 04:07:22 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this charming, well-equipped gorgeous cottage. It is walking distance to all the local amenities and has some great restaurants that are walking distance, The George in particular has great food and atmosphere. What really makes this a wonderful stay is the charming garden - you can really see that love and nurture that the hosts have put into the garden over the years, it is beautiful. I loved sitting in the sun room or terrace reading my book in the evenings. Would thoroughly recommend the property and look forward to coming back soon. Fantastic hosts and Shane is very responsive and helpful. Thanks again for making it a memorable stay.

Summary: We have stayed in a few guest houses recently. I have to say, this is probably the best place we have stayed at in terms of quality of accommodation. This time we wanted to avoid using the main "B&B" website, as they appear to be getting more and more greedy, so we looked for alternative sources, and found Weir Cottage. Shane really knows how to host, he has thought of everything possible in order to make life as functional and as easy as possible so guests can just get on and relax or do what else they want to do. The cottage itself is gorgeous and absolutely pristine, honestly, not a speck of dust anywhere. It's *extremely* well kitted out with functional and useful furnishings and implements/equipment. The king-size bed was as comfy as you can get. I really really struggle to think of any improvements that could be made, and I honestly can't think of anything that could be done any better. There's loads of kit in the kitchen, the IT/AV is as good as you will get, there's loads of games for kids & adults, the furnishings are extremely practical, and the place has a great modern, yet homely/cottagey feel to it. And, the local town is really really nice, and it's just a stones throw away - it has all you need there. Shane's communication is exceptional - again, he knows what it means to be a host, and a proper one at that. There's no way 5 stars does this cottage and experience justice. I'd love to just book it for 3 months straight and live here for a while. Highly recommend
