Lodge 12, a detached, private corner lodge situated on the New Forest Lodge Retreat, adjacent to Shorefield Country Park on the edge of Downton, Hampshire. Enjoying off-road parking, open-plan living and access to a wealth of on-site facilities, Lodge 12 is the perfect space for a family of four looking to holiday in Hampshire. After a day of wandering the local area, step into the open-plan living space, sporting a light and airy feel with a well-presented kitchen, hosting a range of appliances to assist with home-cooking, whilst the dining table is where you can gather for meals. Enjoy alfresco dining from the terrace before whisking away for a freshen up in the shower room. As you call it a day, there are two well-presented bedrooms to choose from, including a double with en-suite shower and a twin, both featuring ample storage and Freeview TVs for entertainment. Purchase an on-site pass and make the most of the facilities; work up a sweat in the gym, enjoy lengths of the pool, challenge each other to a range of sports of the courts or fish on the lake. Just a short walk away lies the Royal Oak, where you can enjoy a hearty meal and a night off cooking. Just over a mile away lies the beach, so remember to pack your bucket and spades, whilst the beautiful New Forest is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, home to a myriad of walking routes and a chance to spot roaming ponies and cattle. Further afield, you can visit the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, or stroll along seven miles of golden sandy beaches at Bournemouth; one of the best beaches in the UK. If you are searching for places steeped in history, the cathedral cities of Winchester or Salisbury would also be worth a day trip. However you choose to holiday in this Hampshire region, a stay at Lodge 12 promises to be filled with adventure.

Trevor
For example had no idea how to switch electric fire on. Also no handrails in bathroom. Expensive for 5 nights.
Sue
Only one small complaint found the "sofa" in the lounge area not to be very comfortable for sitting...otherwise very happy.
Jane
The lodge is comfortable and well appointed with its private setting in a gated area. We found the smart TV and the air fryer useful. It is a good base for visiting the surrounding area e.g. Lymington, Exbury Gardens, Beailieu and Milford on Sea. There are two garden centres nearby with excellent restaurants. If it rains, the Castlepoint shopping centre is only half an hour away. The owners are very helpful if needed.
