Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Beech Lodge

The arrangement includes a mixture of king-size, double and twin rooms, with one bedroom capable of being configured as either a twin or super king. Four bedrooms have their own ensuite shower rooms, helping the house work particularly well when several couples or family units are staying together.

Group Accommodation Layout

Two additional fold-out beds can be provided for children in suitable double bedrooms, taking the total capacity to 12 guests.

How does the layout work for a group of 12?

The five permanent bedrooms provide sleeping space for ten guests. Two additional children's beds allow the house to accommodate a total of 12, although the maximum number of adults is ten.

This arrangement works especially well for groups made up of several couples, grandparents, children and other family members because four bedrooms have private ensuite facilities.

The twin bedrooms also add flexibility for children, teenagers or adults who prefer separate beds, while Bedroom 1 can be converted into a super king when required.

Bedroom 5 forms the principal bedroom and includes its own sitting area as well as a large ensuite shower room.

• Four first-floor bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms
• One first-floor family bathroom serves Bedroom 4 and other guests

Location & Things to Do Near Beech Lodge

Beech Lodge is in New Milton, a particularly useful location for groups wanting to combine the New Forest with time on the coast. The town has supermarkets, cafés, shops, pubs and other everyday amenities, while Barton on Sea is less than a mile from the property.

Barton on Sea is known for its clifftop setting and views across Christchurch Bay towards the Isle of Wight. Coastal paths provide opportunities for walking directly along the shoreline, while the beach below the cliffs combines shingle with areas of sand visible at lower tides. The coast continues east towards Highcliffe and west towards Milford on Sea and Keyhaven.

The New Forest National Park is only a short drive away. Its woodland tracks, heathland routes and quieter lanes are popular for walking and cycling, with free-roaming ponies and other livestock forming part of the landscape. Brockenhurst, Burley and Lyndhurst are all within reach for longer days exploring the forest, while Beaulieu combines a traditional New Forest village with one of the area's best-known visitor attractions.

Families can also visit the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum, while Highcliffe Castle provides a mix of heritage, gardens and coastal scenery. Mudeford is another popular choice for a day beside the water, with beaches, harbour views and access towards Hengistbury Head.

Lymington is worth visiting for its marina, harbour, shops and restaurants. The town's seawater baths are a popular summer attraction, with open-air swimming and watersports activities.

Golfers have Barton on Sea Golf Club nearby, while walkers and cyclists can use Beech Lodge as a base for both coastal routes and forest trails. The variety of beaches, countryside, family attractions and towns nearby makes the location particularly flexible for larger groups where not everyone wants to spend each day doing the same activity.
