Lowlands is located in lovely countryside just outside the New Forest and 3 miles from the market town of Ringwood. This charming, unusual property is set in its own garden with a patio.

The hut opens onto a pretty garden area with a table and chairs. A kettle is provided and there is a choice of tea and coffee and bottled water and milk in the fridge. A continental breakfast is brought down to Dolly. The New Forest National Park and lakes are close by and ideal for walking, and you can store your bikes in a locked alarmed garage upon request.

    Dolly was so cosy, clean and comfortable. Everything we wanted for our last minute getaway. It had enough privacy despite it being in the owners back garden. Martine and her husband were so welcoming, gave amazing recommendations and made our stay...

    Everything was perfect and Martine couldn't have done enough for us. Heater provided to keep Dolly warm as the weather was particularly cold over the time we stayed. Perfect location on the edge of the New Forest.
