### 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.

I travel around quite a bit with work and do really enjoy a weekend break away…. This by far has taken the top spot of places to stay. I have nothing but compliments for this beautiful place. The welcome, the design, it’s so clean and comfy, every detail has been carefully chosen and it is all so well put together. My only regret is I only booked two nights!! I have already booked to come again. You should definitely add this to your holiday list, you won’t regret it :-)

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!

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.

#### Classic English elegance
We stayed five nights. The accommodation is in beautifully decorated rooms as part of a vicarage cottage. It is beside a really lovely and well cared for Church. Owners live in part of the vicarage cottage and you share a laundry. However, at no time was privacy an issue. The rooms contain very tasteful modern and antique furniture and furnishings. Sumptuous bedding and towels. Generous gift basket.Delightful owners. Good location. Interesting area - New Forest. Loved the village of Ringwood.Highly recommend if you are seeking quiet in an elegant country setting.
