Melissa
The Nest is a unique propery situated in a tranquil setting in the New Forest. There is a large private gravel drive for parking. It is a 2 minute walk from the beautiful open Forest and a short drive from several stunning beaches with cafes that are well worth a visit. The Nest is beautifully furnished with a mezzanine floor ideal for sleeping, star gazing or watching the sun set and rise. The comfortable sofa bed, has a fully sprung mattress ( the same as a normal double bed ) and is very easy to assemble. Storage is provided to keep bedding fresh and clean. There is a good size, bright airy patio area that has the sun most of the day, a sun umbrella is provided. It is ideal for morning coffee, relaxing lunches an evening BBQ or a glass of bubbles. Tiptoe road is quiet and rural but Sway, New Milton and Brockenhurst stations are within close proximity. There are two local pubs within walking distance which both serve food and have spacious outside seating areas. I have many recommendations of places to visit, enjoy breakfast, lunch & dinner & enjoy sporting activities!
I am a mother of four grown up children who after working as a midwife in the New Forest for several years decided to try something new & convert my outbuilding into ‘The Nest’. I wanted to design a tranquil space where people would be able to come & relax together & enjoy the New Forest & it’s beautiful surrounding areas. I’m always wanting to improve The Nest & love any ideas my guests have to enable me to do this.
It’s quiet, tranquil and calm. With very little 'light pollution' star gazing or relaxing on the private patio with the twinkly lights on that surround the patio makes it an ideal romantic, relaxing place to be. It is the perfect location to step away from the chaos of life & come & recharge your batteries.
