Coach House Holidays Ltd - The Retreat

This elevated timber-framed cabin sits among the trees at the edge of the New Forest, with a wraparound deck and private hot tub for four. Inside, the open-plan ground floor holds two double bedrooms, a shower room, and a combined kitchen and living space with a wood-effect electric burner and smart TV. The cabin is yours alone, accessed via a private path from the main grounds.

The deck is the real draw—there's a built-in hot tub, a charcoal BBQ for cooking outside, and garden furniture for lingering over meals or drinks. An external laundry room (shared with other on-site properties) has a washing machine and a dedicated doggy shower; one dog is welcome. Parking for two cars is private, and essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and Wi-Fi are all included.

Beaches at Avon and Mudeford are a short drive away, as are the walking trails through the forest itself. The cabin suits couples or small groups seeking a quiet woodland retreat with easy access to the coast. Children under 16 are not catered for, and smoking is not permitted.
