Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Spacious, luxury Self-Catered Boutique cottage for 2 with private garden in a small, peaceful village in the heart of the New Forest National Park; superbly located for both forest and beaches.

Exbury is a quiet, estate village near the famous Exbury Gardens, created by the Rothschild family when they bought the estate in 1919. It's now a 200 acre garden, open to the public with a steam train, beautiful lakes and waterways, a walk along the Beaulieu river and an amazing plant collection.

The space
A boutique barn conversion in Exbury, one of the prettiest villages in the New Forest National Park, close to the saltmarshes and creeks along the Beaulieu River in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The Old Barn is made for relaxation. Original barn doors, rugs and a traditional log-burner give a country cottage cosy feel, while details such as the open-plan kitchen-diner, large sitting room, inviting kingsize bed, Egyptian cotton sheets and White Company towels make it a comfortable and spacious retreat for two. A smart TV allows you to log in to your own accounts and streaming services for entertainment and there is a shelf full of books to borrow.

One of the New Forest's most traditional villages, Exbury is part of an estate which historically belonged to the legendary Mitford family and since 1919 has been owned by the Rothschilds. Lionel Nathan de Rothschild created the famous Exbury Gardens, on an ambitious scale. These stunning gardens are now open to the public. Many of the charming houses and cottages in the village were built by the Rothschilds for those who worked on the estate and in the ‘big house’. Exbury today is rural, safe and peaceful; the only sounds are of birdsong, church bells and the occasional clip clopping of horses' hooves.

Guest access
Although the Old Barn stands in the grounds of the owners own home there is private parking, a private entrance and a beautiful enclosed and totally private garden.
