Rhubarb Cottage,

The Custards, Lyndhurst,

Hampshire

Rhubarb Cottage is a very comfortable, completely modernised, three-bedroomed semi-detached Victorian holiday cottage in Lyndhurst, situated at the heart of the New Forest. It was built in the early years of the 20th century and the owners continue to enjoy the historical 'Commoner's Rights', allowing them to graze ponies, cattle and donkeys on the open forest!
The cottage has been awarded 4 stars by the English Tourist Board. It sleeps 6 people and has gas central heating throughout, a downstairs cloakroom and upstairs bathroom. The modernised kitchen leads out into the courtyard garden where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. House Martins nest under the eaves and Blue Tits raise their young in nest boxes on the cottage wall.

A particular feature of Rhubarb Cottage is the extra wide, shallow staircase which is ideal for our more mature visitors and a bonus for everyone else. All bedlinen and towels are provided. Please note that Rhubarb Cottage is strictly 'No Smoking' inside the cottage, although you may smoke in the garden. Please think of our other guests!

During 2006, Rhubarb Cottage was completely refurbished to a high standard. The sitting room has a modern suite with digital TV (Freeview) and a DVD player. There is also a selection of books and games. The new kitchen features a ceramic hob, built in oven, washing machine and microwave. The new bathroom has a luxurious white suite with shower/bath. The downstairs toilet has also been replaced with a modern suite. All of the windows and doors have been replaced.

If you are bringing a baby with you, we can supply a nice travel cot, with bedding and a high chair to help you to keep things under control!

Rhubarb Cottage also has broadband access to the internet, via your own wireless enabled laptop, subject to suitability. Stay in touch while you're away!
