The property was perfectly suited for what we wanted and everyone had a lovely time" "A very lovely home in a very good location, great communication with the host, would highly recommend" "We really enjoyed the cottage and appreciated the Christmas tree and fire wood. Thanks very much" A great house with plenty of space, it worked really well for our group of eight people. The host was great, very responsive. When we had a problem it was resolved within the hour" "A good location and quiet street” "We thought the cottage was very nice and well equipped" "The location is good: quiet neighbourhood easy access to beaches and the New Forest A bedroom and a shower/toilet downstairs made life easier for us as one of the party was less able to manage stairs." "House was lovely and only a 15min walk from the beach which was great. The hosts were also very quick to respond to any questions we had." Crosbie Cottage has large open plan living spaces and full width sliding/folding to the deck, and a contemporary open fireplace in the lounge area. There are four bedrooms, kitchen with large range cooker and granite worktops, with character reclaimed wooden floorboards throughout complimenting the modern décor, all behind the original restored Edwardian shell. Perfect family cottage for beach breaks and New Forest holidays. Crosbie Cottage is located at the south west corner of the New Forest, just a mile from the beautiful beaches at Highcliffe and only half a mile from the New Forest National park itself. Chewton common is close by, as is the wonderful spa, restaurant and small golf course at the well known Chewton Glen Hotel. As well as the forest and the beaches virtually on your doorstep, Christchurch and Bournemouth are just a short direct drive from this large New Forest Cottage. Crosbie Cottage owes its name to Annette Crosbie, Margaret Meldrew in ‘One Foot in the Grave’, which was filmed here. Margaret and Victor Meldrew’s house was located just around the corner, and this cottage is featured in the 1991 One Foot in The Grave Christmas Special, covered in snow. During the restoration and refurbishment works the whole roof was removed, along with many interior walls, the back wall taken down and the house extended on both floors, doubling the floorspace on the ground floor, meanwhile the front elevation was restored to it’s former glory, wooden sliding sash windows reinstated and the whole exterior repointed as well as a new roof built. The contemporary design of the rebuild and extension is reflected throughout the interiors, with large open plan spaces, full width sliding/folding doors to the garden, contemporary open fireplace and reclaimed timber floorboards throughout. Walkford is a small village, with a couple of pubs within a few hundred yards in either direction, and a good convenience store at the end of the road. Highcliffe is within easy walking distance, where you’ll find a good selection of restaurants, including in particular an excellent Thai restaurant run by a husband and wife chef and waitress team. It is small though – so be careful to book especially if it is for a large group. There is a top quality chinese takeaway next door to the Thai restaurant too, and several other places to eat, as well as a handful of pubs, tea rooms, coffee shops, supermarket, antique shops and a kayak and surf shop. Just beyond the main street you’ll come to the cliff top and sandy beach, where there’s a quality cafe/bar/ restaurant open in the daytime and evening with fantastic views. Crosbie cottage is the perfect base to discover the south west New Forest or venture further along the Dorset coast for a day, perhaps taking in Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door or Corfe Castle. The kitchen/dining/living space has plenty of space for everyone to dine or just relax together at the table. There is a cosy central fireplace for winter and the full width sliding folding doors accessing the large deck and small garden, wonderful when the weather turns warmer. At one end of the room is the kitchen, which has fitted units with stone granite surfaces providing ample workspace and storage. There is a wide range cooker with a single large oven, a freestanding fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher and washer. The base and wall units house all the cooking and dining equipment needed for your break. The kitchen and dining arrangement here makes Crosbie Cottage a wonderful cottage for adding a chef-catered meal for a special evening in, with no washing up to do, no tables to set, or taxis to arrange home, as you’re already there! The lounge space at the other end has sliding/ folding doors to the deck, and a contemporary fireplace, with large settees facing each other so everyone can socialise and relax in comfort. There’s a television with DVD. There are four bedrooms at this large cottage. All are double rooms, with one bedroom is set up as a twin room with two single beds. The two larger front bedrooms each have an original fireplace a pleasant street view, one is on the on the ground floor. The two smaller back bedrooms have views across the gardens behind, and one of these bedrooms includes a desk and wardrobe. The modern bathroom has a double ended bath, heated towel rail, wc and basin. Downstairs, the contemporary shower room has a shower, wc and basin. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81850000/81840800/81840716/e9b8a135.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pretty cottage with direct access to The New Forest Burley - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=81840716&PinnedHotelID=81840716&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19550000/19550000/19549910/33a100a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family friendly 3-bedroom house. .
