Overview
Property code: 56765

Combining character features with contemporary style, this spacious property has an outdoor pool, hot tub and an enviable location close to the bustling waterside town of Lymington

Soak up the sunshine beside the outdoor pool at this exquisite thatched cottage close to the historic port of Lymington. Up to 10 guests can be accommodated here in five sumptuous bedrooms. Spend quality time together in your stylish, spacious character home or venture out in a group to explore the magnificent New Forest and the dramatic Hampshire coastline.

 

Carefully renovated and beautifully presented, your picture-postcard holiday home is as appealing inside as out. Exposed beams and timberwork combine with a thoughtfully chosen palette of neutral shades to create an inviting ambience throughout. Low ceilings in some places add further interest while a dramatic stone inglenook fireplace forms the centre-piece of your capacious lounge. Light the biofuel fire and relax in here with your group before a good film on your Smart TV. Settle down to an animated game of charades from the comfort of your sofas or pull up a chair in your bright dining room to play cards. This space, with its French doors on to the garden, is also superb for long Sunday lunches and lively family dinners, while the breakfast bar in the kitchen is the perfect place to perch with a fresh cup of coffee and the weekend newspapers. A snug is handy for those odd moments when you want to lose yourself in your book or watch something different on television to the rest of your party. Your holiday home offers a cloakroom and two sumptuous en-suite bedrooms at ground floor level. Head up the delightful, cottage-style stairs to find the family bathroom and two more bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. An even steeper, narrower set of stairs (possibly unsuitable for small children and older guests) leads to a double bedroom with en suite shower room and a cosy twin bedroom. The lush grounds offer ample space for games of cricket and rounders, as well as picnics by the pool and BBQs. Recline in your hot tub and share a bottle of wine with your friends; hold a family table tennis tournament during your stay or simply sit and watch the children bounce on the trampoline. There is parking at your holiday property for up to five cars.

Stayed friday to monday end of may'22 I can not recommend this place enough, they have thought of everything. Loved the little touches of vases of beautiful flowers, had a hamper on arrival. The pool area was amazing with the jacuzzi and summer house. Will definitely be going back next year!

The rules sound tough but when you get there you understand and appreciate. Help was always on hand in the smallest problem. An exciting home and facilities for fun. We had a very memorable and wonderful family holiday and can recommend GILPIN HOUSE. We would return.

Gilpin House is a beautiful 5* accommodation. We were fortunate enough to stay during a UK heatwave so we were able to make the most of the pool area. Plenty of room everywhere with alfresco dining and bbq. We didn't venture from the house too often as we loved being there but plenty to do in the surrounding areas and lots of pubs and dining opportRead moreunities. The owner was really helpful and responsive. Would love to return. Hide
