About this property

Country cottage set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the New Forest

The Snug is a newly converted one bedroom cottage nestled in an idyllic country hamlet, on the edge of Somerley Park and just minutes from the New Forest National Park. Very close to the ancient market town of Ringwood, which has a range of shops including Waitrose and Waterstones. The cottage is attached to the owner's property, but is very private with a beautiful sunny, secluded garden terrace.

The spacious ground floor accommodation provides a large double bedroom with king-size bed, luxury en-suite shower room, fully equipped galley kitchen and oak-beamed, large cosy sitting room with wood burner.

Perfect getaway

We’ve visited The Snug 5 times now and every time it is wonderful. Whether you have sunny and warm days to enjoy the garden or cold and windy days to enjoy the log burning fire, they are all perfect. It’s always so difficult to leave, hence why we keep coming back! Everything is spotless and truly lovely.

Wonderful weekend in this lovely cottage

We had a lovely stay at Kim’s place. It was very clean and comfortable, including very comfy bed. Kim was always quick to respond / communicate and very friendly. Nice location on edge of new forest and next to Blashford Lakes where you can see all sorts of birds. We really enjoyed!

Beautiful Retreat

We stayed for 4 nights in September and can definitely give Kim and Nigel’s cottage 5 stars. Communication was brilliant and we had been left some wonderful supplies to get us started. The location next to Ellingham Church is very peaceful and the cottage is finished to a very high standard. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this property.

Absolutely stunning

We’ve visited 4 times and each time is simply perfect. Everything is pristine with so much thought and care put into every finishing touch from the gorgeous interior to the thoughtful hamper on arrival. Beautiful during the day with the sunshine pouring through and cosy at night with the warm toned lights and lovely fire. We can’t wait to return again, our home from home!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Price

Host profile image
I love my home and garden, and particularly enjoy living in the New Forest. I am very happy to meet guests and share my ideas with them, but also respect their privacy. I am available as much or as little as you would like!

Why they chose this property

The Snug is a perfect combination of modern, clean and contemporary living with traditional and historic features. The Snug is attached to Vicarage Cottage which formed part of the church accommodation, before the current owners purchased it 25 years ago. It is in a delightful and unique setting with a view of the pretty church.

What makes this property unique

We are close to the wonderful Southern England coastline which has many sandy beaches, yet within walking distance of the beautiful New Forest National Park.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
