Overview of Corner Cottage
Corner Cottage is a characterful four-bedroom holiday home sleeping eight near Ringwood, positioned on a quiet country lane at the edge of the New Forest National Park. Direct access to the forest makes it particularly appealing to walkers and cyclists, while Ringwood's shops, restaurants and everyday facilities are only a short drive away. Find our full range of large holiday cottages in Ringwood here.
Inside, the house offers considerably more living space than many cottages sleeping eight. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area forms the main social hub, with a breakfast bar, dining table for eight and comfortable seating. A completely separate sitting room adds another place to relax, particularly useful when adults and children want different things from an evening at home.
One of the four bedrooms is on the ground floor and has a king-size bed. Upstairs are a large super king master suite, a double and a twin, giving two families or a multi-generational group a straightforward sleeping arrangement. Two bathrooms and an additional ground-floor WC support the group at full occupancy.
The gardens are another major part of the appeal. Large lawns wrap around several sides of the cottage, while a terrace provides space for outdoor meals and drinks. Children have a trampoline and swing, and there is plenty of room for the family to spend time outside.
Corner Cottage also works particularly well as a touring base. Ringwood, Blashford Lakes, New Forest Water Park and Moors Valley are close by, while Highcliffe, Avon Beach and Mudeford bring the coast within around 25 minutes by car.

Who is Corner Cottage Best For?
Corner Cottage works especially well for two families sharing. The super king and ground-floor king bedrooms provide comfortable rooms for parents, while the double and twin can be allocated between children, teenagers or other family members.
A multi-generational family may prefer to use the ground-floor bedroom for grandparents or anyone who would rather avoid using the stairs frequently. There is also a cloakroom on this floor, although the main bathrooms are upstairs.
The two separate living areas are another advantage for a mixed-age group. Children can use the sitting room for films, games or the Xbox while adults relax in the larger open-plan living space.
Walkers and cyclists should also appreciate having direct access to the New Forest, together with bicycle storage at the property.

Location & Things to Do Near Corner Cottage
Corner Cottage sits close to Ringwood on the western side of the New Forest, giving guests easy access to both the National Park and the Dorset and Hampshire coast. With forest countryside directly accessible from the property, walking can be part of the holiday without needing to drive to a formal trail every day.
The wider New Forest has more than 100 miles of waymarked cycle tracks and numerous walking routes through woodland, heathland and alongside rivers. Free-roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys are part of the landscape, while nearby Blashford Lakes offers a completely different wildlife experience around former gravel pits, woodland and wetlands. Its network of hides makes it particularly good for birdwatching.
Ringwood is approximately 2.5 miles away and provides independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and supermarkets. Its location beside the River Avon also makes it a useful starting point for exploring the western side of the National Park.
Families have several major attractions close by. Moors Valley Country Park combines forest walking and cycling with play areas, a narrow-gauge railway and Go Ape. New Forest Water Park offers seasonal wakeboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding and an inflatable aqua park, while Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World are within easy driving distance for a full family day out.
Burley provides another classic New Forest outing, with shops, cafés, cycle hire and forest tracks surrounding the village.
The coast adds further variety. Avon Beach has sand, watersports, cafés and restaurants, while Mudeford is popular for harbour walks and crabbing. Highcliffe combines beach days with attractive coastal scenery. This gives a group staying at Corner Cottage a strong choice between forest adventures, family attractions, wildlife and days beside the sea.
