Surroundings

Kingfisher Retreat, one of the New Forest's charming thatched homes, is situated on the edge of its own unique spring-fed lake.  This is surrounded by a wooded area and stunning landscape gardens which encourage natural wildlife and provide a home for our own ornamental ducks.
Please feel free to stroll around the lake and enjoy the habitat with a glass of wine, or have a picnic using our tables and chairs dotted around the lake.

        
       

This is just one of the many routes that Martyn and I frequently walk across the forest, with a charming cosy pub at the end with beer barrels on stands behind the bar.  The atmosphere will go home with you. Step back in time!

If you want to see the forest on horseback, we have Arniss Equestrian Centre just a mile away.
