Country cottage set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the New Forest

The Snug is a newly converted one bedroom cottage nestled in an idyllic country hamlet, on the edge of Somerley Park and just minutes from the New Forest National Park. Very close to the ancient market town of Ringwood, which has a range of shops including Waitrose and Waterstones. The cottage is attached to the owner's property, but is very private with a beautiful sunny, secluded garden terrace.

The spacious ground floor accommodation provides a large double bedroom with king-size bed, luxury en-suite shower room, fully equipped galley kitchen and oak-beamed, large cosy sitting room with wood burner.

Perfect getaway
We’ve visited The Snug 5 times now and every time it is wonderful. Whether you have sunny and warm days to enjoy the garden or cold and windy days to enjoy the log burning fire, they are all perfect. It’s always so difficult to leave, hence why we keep coming back! Everything is spotless and truly lovely.

We had a lovely stay at Kim’s place. It was very clean and comfortable, including very comfy bed. Kim was always quick to respond / communicate and very friendly. Nice location on edge of new forest and next to Blashford Lakes where you can see all sorts of birds. We really enjoyed!

Beautiful Retreat
We stayed for 4 nights in September and can definitely give Kim and Nigel’s cottage 5 stars. Communication was brilliant and we had been left some wonderful supplies to get us started. The location next to Ellingham Church is very peaceful and the cottage is finished to a very high standard. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this property.

Very peaceful location and excellent quality accommodation
We really enjoyed our stay at the Snug, the property was spotlessly clean, comfortable and accessibility was very good. We enjoyed the quality treats in the welcome hamper, the best we have ever had! The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great and we enjoyed spending time in the little garden, which was a real sun trap when the weather was good. Accessibility is sometimes a little difficult for me but there are no steps into the property from the parking space and one shallow step from the bedroom to the kitchen. A step out into the garden was manageable but the deck, although a perfectly normal height for most people was a bit high for me but there was room on the lower level to put one of the comfortable garden chairs, so I was able to enjoy using the space and watching the birds and squirrel. The kitchen is quite small, there is freezer space you can use in an outhouse. It's suitable for preparing light meals but equipment is limited but having the dishwasher was great. We found great places to eat out in the evening and for breakfast, so it wasn't an issue for us. Lots to do in the area, we visited some great gardens and the coast. We would recommend a stay at this peaceful retreat.

A perfect place to stay
My husband and I enjoyed a 3 night break at The Snugg, Ellingham, near Ringwood. It was a very relaxing place to stay and it had been decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The bed was so comfortable and the linen and towels were of very high quality. There is a little courtyard garden where we sat out and enjoyed watching various birds visiting the feeder. We were left a very nice welcome hamper and the owners even asked us what type of pillows/duvet we would like. Great thought is put into making sure their guests have a lovely stay and we sure did! Thank you!

We’ve visited 4 times and each time is simply perfect. Everything is pristine with so much thought and care put into every finishing touch from the gorgeous interior to the thoughtful hamper on arrival. Beautiful during the day with the sunshine pouring through and cosy at night with the warm toned lights and lovely fire. We can’t wait to return again, our home from home!

5* stay
We recently stayed at The Snug in the New Forest for two nights, and it was an absolute delight. The cottage exuded warmth and coziness, with its immaculate and tastefully decorated interior. Every corner was spotless, reflecting the care and attention to detail by Kim, the host. The thoughtful touches, like a selection of essential food items, added to the homely feel. The log burner created a romantic ambiance, perfect for snuggling up on chilly evenings. Situated in a great location, we were able to explore the beauty of the New Forest effortlessly. Overall, our stay was nothing short of wonderful, and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful and idyllic getaway.

A lovely July stay
A really nice annex in a beautiful location . We were very impressed by the quality of the furnishings and the property . There was a small but gorgeous little garden and the bird feeder was a hit for us . We kept it topped up ourselves because it was addictive to see so many every day . Other wildfire spotted from the living room included deer and foxes . Hosts were very discrete , friendly and respectful of privacy and a lovely hamper was provided on arrival . We even used the log fire on a cold and wet day because it created such a nice atmosphere . The area is lovely here and this was a great little place to stay for a couple . Thank you to the owners for their care and attention sorry it took us so long to write the review !

Highly recommended.
WOW, the cottage looked exactly like the pictures, if not better. Good quality fixtures and fittings. Lovely big towels & gorgeous bedding. There was every thing you need for a short break, including a warm welcome from the host Kim and a super welcome hamper, again with quality products. There were logs with which to light a fire to sit & enjoy the Prosecco left for us & a cute outside seating area which caught the afternoon sun. We would love to return sometime, longer than for just 2 nights.
