About this property

Cottage with Covered Hot Tub, sleeps 6 Godshill New Forest National Park

Recently finished 2 year renovation to high standard as it is our home.

Please check out my mothers property with swim spa called 'Crossroads Cottage' located in Frogham - less than 10 minutes away. You can check reviews and service you will receive.

Lane End is a spacious homely cottage situated in the village of Godshill within the New Forest National Park. The cottage is great for couples, families or friends to enjoy with unbroken tree-top views of the countryside, perfect for a short break or a holiday.

Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and catch up tv.

Endless walks in the New Forest are on the doorstep with miles of heath land to explore by foot or bike.

Round off the day with a glass of champagne watching the sunset or a stroll up to the local pub 3 minutes away. There is a cedar hot tub - checkout urban cedar hot tubs, it is positioned to take in the setting sun and has a bespoke 'Gazebo' which ensures rain does not stop play and stops the oak leaves falling in!

We have converted the cob house to a games room with a pool table and darts board and also now have an outdoor table tennis table for family or group 'competitions'.

Important Suggestion: A Monday or Friday change over may help with the heavy holiday traffic problems over the weekend, during the peak summer months
Contact us with your personal requirements any day is possible, or any other day at certain times.

For the last two years, with my brother and parents we have transformed Lane End into a beautiful home. Unlike other rental properties, this is my home and is furnished as such. The cottage is only available for limited periods in the year.

Quiet and comfy

We stayed for 3 nights in February and apart from struggling to get the heating to come on when we first arrived, it was a very lovely and comfy (and later very warm and cosy!) house. Hot tub was great!

Amazing Christmas break

I booked this Christmas trip (23/12 to 27/12) straight after Christmas 2023.I work from home so i was fed up of the same 4 walls and always imagined a cute cottage with open fire and that is exactly what we got. We had an amazing time. The kitchen was an absolute dream to cook xmas dinner in and the hot tub and cob house were a massive hit. I didn't want tocomehome house were

Beautiful home in a stunning location

Loved relaxing out in the hot tub, playing pool and darts in the cob house, and enjoying the stunning New Forest scenery. Brilliant pub and walks just around the corner - donkeys, ponies and horses galore. Great location for visiting all the sites. House had everything we needed for our family of four, including games and books. Highly recommend

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful location.

We stayed for a relaxing weekend break as friends. This was ideal for walking and the well equipped kitchen meant we could prepare anything we needed. Spent some time in the hot tub and as well as the wildlife on walks, we were able to watch a deer in the garden.

Beautiful property.

This is a perfect location, beautiful setting, especially the hot tub area. The garden is lovely but would be nicer if the patio areas were cleared of weeds and the garden furniture is crying out for some TLC. Despite this we had a fabulous time and would definitely go back. Very nice bedrooms and comfy beds.

Perfect cottage escape

Our friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend break in the cottage. Welcomed with some treats. The hot tub and log burner were the stand out features with the games room providing great entertainment. Fully equipped, cosy but spacious. We wanted for nothing. 5 star holiday home.

Christmas stay with Family.

Had a great time at this beautiful house with Family. Everything you needed with plenty of logs for the woodburner which was fabulous. Christmas trees had been put up for the festive period which was lovely. We all had a very enjoyable time in the house and in the hot tub. Sadly never got to go to the pub which is just up the road, but did take a Forest walk. Would definitely stay again. Thank You so much for making this Christmas a memorable occasion.

Perfect for all the family

We had an amazing time at this property. The original purpose of the trip was to visit Peppa Pig world (which is short 20min drive away) but the location meant we had the opportunity to take a couple of walks out in the New Forest and to visit the local pub to see the animals - which we loved! The cottage itself had many special touches, in particular our son loved all of the land to run around - and the hot tub was brilliant to relax in the evenings - we wanted for nothing. Hosts were great - really helpful and responded to messages quickly. Couldn’t recommend it more! Thanks so much for a great stay!

OMG…FANTASTIC

I would like to say thank you for sharing your lovely home, everything was perfect, from the communication (originally booked for July 2020 in Jan 2020 before Covid-19 hit) the beds, gardens, pool table, table tennis and of course the hot tub. Kitchen was well equipped. Family of 6 adults with plenty of room to spread out, lots of different areas within the garden for dinning or just watching the wildlife. Would recommend. Thanks again.

Wonderful property in a great location

We have stayed in some nice places in the UK in the last few years - but this tops them all. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and plenty of space, the cottage itself is one of the nicest we have stayed in. On top of that, the games room, hot top and ping pong table are all icing on the cake. In the summer it would have been nice to sit outside - the garden furniture looked inviting but the cold (and drizzle) meant it was not to be (not that we expected to use it in December!) But the other thing that really makes this cottage is the location. I had never been to the New Forest and I have fallen in love with it. The Cottage is located inside the national park and only about 10 minutes walk from one of the parking lots - with lots of walks leading off of it. In better times we also would have visited the pub that was just five minutes walk (if that) away but just far enough so it wouldn't interfere with our peace and quite. The owners were also responsive and and cottage was well decorated for Christmas, including a tree. A wonderful place to spend the holiday.

Host profile image
My brother and I were born here (well in Salisbury Hospital ) and went school in Hyde and Burgate. We both work in London. Renovation is in our blood our parents have renovated many properties, from our family home in Frogham to student properties and holiday homes abroad. We have helped since we could hold a tool in our hands! We follow the family ethos that a property can be shared at certain times as it can provide a home for a holiday, whilst keeping the property occupied and cared for when other commitments take you elsewhere.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful elevated position on the top of a slope, with views across the trees and countryside. The garden has sun all day long in various seating areas.It is a quiet area where busy lives can be left at the gatepost.

What makes this property unique

Views, sun, tranquility. Unspoilt walks in forests and open 'forest'/commons. Beautiful garden and home. Several seating areas for meals and a cedar hot tub to really relax in.
