Lodge 12, a detached, private corner lodge situated on the New Forest Lodge Retreat, adjacent to Shorefield Country Park on the edge of Downton, Hampshire.

Enjoying off-road parking, open-plan living and access to a wealth of on-site facilities, Lodge 12 is the perfect space for a family of four looking to holiday in Hampshire.

After a day of wandering the local area, step into the open-plan living space, sporting a light and airy feel with a well-presented kitchen, hosting a range of appliances to assist with home-cooking, whilst the dining table is where you can gather for meals.

Enjoy alfresco dining from the terrace before whisking away for a freshen up in the shower room.

As you call it a day, there are two well-presented bedrooms to choose from, including a double with en-suite shower and a twin, both featuring ample storage and Freeview TVs for entertainment.

Purchase an on-site pass and make the most of the facilities; work up a sweat in the gym, enjoy lengths of the pool, challenge each other to a range of sports of the courts or fish on the lake.

Just a short walk away lies the Royal Oak, where you can enjoy a hearty meal and a night off cooking.

Just over a mile away lies the beach, so remember to pack your bucket and spades, whilst the beautiful New Forest is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, home to a myriad of walking routes and a chance to spot roaming ponies and cattle. Further afield, you can visit the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, or stroll along seven miles of golden sandy beaches at Bournemouth; one of the best beaches in the UK.

If you are searching for places steeped in history, the cathedral cities of Winchester or Salisbury would also be worth a day trip.

However you choose to holiday in this Hampshire region, a stay at Lodge 12 promises to be filled with adventure.
