This warm and homely country estate sits on the edge of Beaulieu River. Prepare yourself for seriously idyllic country scenes. Ornate, country furniture in every room, classic artwork festooning the walls, and a chic modern kitchen and dining space create a traditional English space with a lot of character. From the super comfortable lounge to the cosy TV room, this home is ideal for a country getaway with family and friends. Outside, you'll find the lush greens of a well-kept garden, with a lounge and alfresco dining area. Beyond, the serene Beaulieu River, which you can explore in a canoe or kayak, is just a leisurely walk away through the stunning green New Forest.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
