A beautiful cottage in the heart of the New Forest and a short drive to beaches
April Cottage is a comfortable cosy two bedroomed terrace cottage, set in the middle of the delightful village of Everton with our friendly local shop and pub offering scrumptious local produce.
Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, with only a short drive to the beaches, open forest and the charming market town of Lymington with it’s picturesque town quay, boutique shops and bustling Saturday market. The cottage has a sitting/dining room with a separate kitchen, conservatory and boot room. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one double and one twin) with a shower room. There is a walled garden at the rear and a front garden with gravel parking for 2 cars.
Milford On Sea and Keyhaven is 'just down the road'; offering village shops, beaches, cafe's, pubs and restaurants. By taking a short walk/drive to Keyhaven, you will find a traditional pub and a beautiful walk along the sea wall, enjoying the spectacular views of the Solent, the Needles and Isle of Wight. Bird watchers will particularly enjoy the salt pans and marshes that are renowned for their bird-life. You can take a ferry from Keyhaven harbour to Hurst Castle and if you are feeling energetic you can walk back along shingle bank.
In the other direction is Christchurch and Bournemouth with long golden sandy beaches, theatres, pubs, restaurants and a buzzing nightlife.

Lovely cottage - thoughtful touch with the ‘mini hamper’ and milk. The pub and shop are an easy stroll away.

New Forest Trip
The property was lovely and exceeded all our expectations. A great local pub and fantastic cornershop also came in very handy.
The pictures of the property on the website don't do it justice. The garden and house were much bigger than expected. The bed was also super comfy. We had a dog with us and apart from all the great beaches and the forest there is a park around the corner from the house, which is really handy for early morning or last minute walkies.

Lovely cottage.
Delightful, cosy, comfy cottage. Sunny garden. Beautifully peaceful. Perfect for 2 or 3 max. 2nd bathroom is a downstairs loo. 3 houses away is a Londis that sells gourmet food! Short drive to beaches, surrounding areas full of beach bars and good restaurants. Very upmarket region. Time for new mattresses in the twin room-a bit uncomfortable. However-it's really lovely. Hosts lovely. We checked in a 12 because we were passing by and it seemed ready, which was fab. Everyone we met was friendly. Book this and a 3 day pottery making course at Vinegar Hill Pottery-a 5 minute drive away.

The cottage was very clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen. Very quiet location. Very Close to a village pub and a local shop. Easy to reach Mudeford beach and the heart of the new forest. Lymington is great place to browse around many different shops.
