The Stable Annex
Description
The Stable Annex is a self‑contained barn conversion located on a smallholding at the edge of the New Forest National Park, providing an attractive countryside base for couples, solo guests, and those travelling with horses.
Reached through a private, gated entrance, the annex leads into a bright open‑plan living area set beneath a sloping ceiling.
Skylights and a large window allow natural light to pour in while offering views across the surrounding fields and open landscape.
The sitting area is arranged for relaxed evenings after time spent outdoors, with a dining table ideal for unhurried breakfasts or shared suppers.
The kitchen is smartly laid out and well equipped for straightforward self‑catering.
The bedroom maintains the loft‑style feel of the space, featuring a super‑king‑size bed, storage and dressing facilities, and a skylight overhead that fills the room with daylight.
A contemporary shower room completes the accommodation, fitted with a walk‑in shower and clean, modern finishes.
Outside, the annex forms part of a working rural setting, surrounded by grazing land and mature trees, enhancing the sense of being immersed in the countryside.
Guests benefit from on‑site parking, including space suitable for horse lorries and trailers, with stabling for up to two horses available by prior arrangement.
A public footpath runs directly from the property, giving immediate access for walking, cycling, or riding into the New Forest National Park, which is approximately five minutes away.
The location is ideal for exploring the diverse landscapes of the New Forest.
Tracks and trails wind through ancient woodland and open heathland, where ponies, donkeys, and cattle roam freely.
Nearby villages such as Lyndhurst, often considered the centre of the Forest, offer independent shops, cafés, and visitor facilities, while Brockenhurst provides access to scenic walking routes and wide stretches of open moor.
To the south, the Georgian market town of Lymington is known for its Saturday market, sailing heritage, and views across the Solent towards the Isle of Wight.
Local points of interest include Beaulieu, home to the National Motor Museum and historic abbey remains, Buckler’s Hard, a riverside village with strong maritime connections, and an extensive network of waymarked paths leading through woodland, along river valleys, and out towards the coast.
Whether spending full days exploring on foot or horseback, or enjoying shorter visits to nearby villages, the area offers something to enjoy in every season.
Welcoming up to two pets, The Stable Annex offers a practical rural setting with direct access to forest trails, making it a welcoming base from which to discover one of southern England’s most celebrated landscapes.

What guests are saying
This was the best cottage we’ve stayed in.
Superbly appointed everything was there. Even though we took the items usually not present, we had no need of them. It was all there. Vicky the host couldn’t do enough. Five stars is underrating the property.
