Overview of Cornerstone

Cornerstone is a beautifully presented four-bedroom holiday home in Lyndhurst, placing a group of eight close to both the open New Forest and the shops, cafés and restaurants of the village centre. It offers the convenience of a village location without losing the easy access to woodland, heathland and free-roaming ponies that makes a New Forest holiday so distinctive.

Inside, the house has been designed particularly well for families. The main lounge provides a comfortable communal space with a log burner, while a separate snug gives children, teenagers or part of the group their own television room. Between them sits the light-filled dining conservatory, with a table for eight and doors opening directly onto the garden.

The kitchen is positioned alongside another small seating area, allowing cooking and conversation to remain part of the same sociable space. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a super king that can be arranged as twins, a king, a double and a bunk room. The combination is particularly useful for two families or grandparents holidaying with children.

Outside, Cornerstone offers considerably more than a simple village garden. The private hot tub provides somewhere to relax after a day walking or cycling, while the outdoor dining area has a central gas fire pit. A barbecue, pizza oven, swings, slide and children's play area make the garden a genuine part of the holiday.

With secure bike storage, Type 2 EV charging and forest routes within walking distance, Cornerstone is particularly strong for groups who want to explore the New Forest while having Lyndhurst's facilities close to home.

Cornerstone at a Glance

Who is Cornerstone Best For?

Cornerstone is particularly well suited to families because the bedroom layout and living spaces make it easy to accommodate both adults and children.

Two families sharing can use the super king and king bedrooms for parents, with the double and bunk bedroom available for children or teenagers. The super king can also be separated into two 3ft single beds when requested, giving groups another useful twin option.

The separate snug is a major advantage when eight guests are staying. Children can watch television or relax in their own space while adults use the main lounge, rather than everyone relying on a single sitting room throughout the week.

The combination of a hot tub, play equipment and outdoor cooking also makes Cornerstone appealing to groups who expect to spend plenty of time at the property rather than using it simply as somewhere to sleep.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Cornerstone

Cornerstone sleeps eight across four first-floor bedrooms. The sleeping arrangement has been planned particularly well for a family group, with three conventional double bedrooms alongside a bunk room.

The largest bedroom has a zip-and-link super king bed which can be separated into two full-size single beds when arranged in advance. This gives groups useful flexibility without relying on sofa beds or temporary sleeping spaces.

Group Accommodation Layout

Bedroom 1 is the principal bedroom and has a 6ft super king bed which can be arranged as two 3ft singles. A walk-in wardrobe provides generous storage and the bedroom has its own en-suite shower room.

Bedroom 2 has a 5ft king-size bed and built-in wardrobe.

Bedroom 3 has a 4ft 6in double bed and drawer storage.

Bedroom 4 has bunk beds and is particularly suited to children.

How does the layout work for a group of 8?

For two families, the king and double rooms can accommodate two sets of parents, while the bunk room and flexible super king provide several options for children and teenagers.

The super king could remain as a double for another couple or grandparents, or be divided into twin beds for siblings or friends.

For a multi-generational family, the three double bedrooms give adults plenty of choice while the bunk room provides a dedicated children's bedroom.

The separate snug downstairs is another useful feature for a mixed-age group, allowing children or teenagers to have their own relaxation space without taking over the main lounge.

Bathroom Layout

Bedroom 1 has an en-suite shower room with a shower cubicle, basin, WC and heated towel rail.

The remaining three bedrooms share the family bathroom, which has a double-ended bath, large separate shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail.

There is also a separate cloakroom with WC and basin on the ground floor.

Facilities & Information at Cornerstone

Double doors lead into the bright conservatory, where the dining table seats all eight guests together. French doors open directly onto the garden, connecting the indoor dining space with the terrace during warmer weather. Beyond the conservatory is another small seating area leading into the kitchen.

Location & Things to Do Near Cornerstone

Cornerstone gives a group one of the great advantages of staying in Lyndhurst: the New Forest and village facilities are both accessible without needing to drive every time you leave the house. Lyndhurst's high street is around a 5 to 10 minute walk away, with independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants providing plenty of options for breakfast, lunch or an evening out.

The New Forest Heritage Centre is a useful first stop for anyone new to the area, while walking and cycling routes can be picked up from around Lyndhurst itself. The surrounding landscape quickly changes from village streets to ancient woodland and open heath, where New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys graze freely.

Cyclists can hire bikes locally and follow forest routes towards places such as Bolderwood and Burley. Bolderwood is also a good choice for families wanting woodland walks and the chance to visit the deer viewing area. Nearby Minstead is home to Furzey Gardens, where ten acres of informal woodland gardens and its well-known fairy doors make an enjoyable outing with younger children.

Beaulieu offers one of the area's biggest family days out, combining the National Motor Museum with Palace House, Beaulieu Abbey and extensive grounds. From Beaulieu village, groups can also walk beside the river towards Buckler's Hard or book kayaking and other outdoor activities.

Lymington adds a coastal dimension to a New Forest break, with a historic high street, harbour, sailing, boat trips and views across the Solent. For a traditional beach day, Milford on Sea and Highcliffe are both approximately 14 miles from Cornerstone, while Bournemouth and Boscombe provide larger sandy beaches further along the coast.

With Paultons Park, Longdown Activity Farm and New Forest Wildlife Park also within touring distance, families can easily mix forest walks with major attractions, beach days and quieter village outings during a week at Cornerstone.
