Owls Nest

About this property

Owl’s Nest is a spacious, high end luxury lodge situated in the little village of Furzehill, close to the historic market town of Wimborne. Boasting a contemporary interior with a host of well-appointed features and appliances, Owls Nest is a fantastic choice for families looking to stay close to the New Forest and the sandy beaches of Sandbanks and Purbeck Island. The lodge is luxurious, modern and spacious with wrap around decking and views over its own large garden, which is very private, edged with mature trees and a fully fenced duck pond. The open-plan living space is the social hub of the lodge, bursting with natural light and a charming sitting area with sofa, armchair, bookshelves and a TV with Netflix. Behind lies a contemporary kitchen, kitted out with everything you will ever need, sure to inspire home-cooking. Take a seat at the breakfast bar or prepare the dining table for a larger feast. French doors lead out to the wrap around decking with furniture for alfresco dining and quality wooden sunbeds for when the weather is in your favour. Opposite the dining area is a separate partitioned study area with large desk, chair, bookshelves & floor to ceiling window overlooking the garden, perfect for catching up on emails or losing yourself in a good book. Across the internal hallway are the bedrooms, including a king-size and twin, each with dressing areas, wardrobe space and en-suite facilities. There is also a handy utility room/cloakroom with washer/dryer, so don’t bother bringing your whole wardrobe! The site is peaceful and wooded with shop, outdoor pool and children’s pool, tennis courts, sand volleyball court, football pitch, basketball court, outdoor table tennis, children's adventure playground and dog paddock where you can let your pooch off the lead. Just a short drive away is the characterful town of Wimborne, home to a selection of independent shops, a supermarket, restaurants, cafés, bars and the Tivoli Theatre. You are within reach of the Dorset AONB and Chanborne Chase AONB for a wealth of countryside hot spots, trails, nature reserves and a plethora of wildlife to spot, plus the beautiful New Forest is nearby with its herds of wild ponies. If you fancy a day at the coast, Poole Harbour is within five miles and offers a variety of boat trips, or you can visit the wonderful sandy beaches of Sandbanks beach, Alum Chine beach, Poole beach, Bournemouth beach and Purbeck Island, all within a scenic car journey and ideal for walks in the salty air or trying out watersports, whilst retail therapy can be found in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. Owl’s Nest is a luxury retreat for a family of four.

The charming countryside of the highly sought-after county of Dorset is home to the little settlement of Furzehill. Both the well-stocked convenience shop and the classic village inn, The Stocks Inn, in Furzehill offer all the necessities for a pleasurable self-catering experience. Furzehill is the perfect starting point for exploring both the ocean and the countryside because it is located on the edge of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where a variety of walking, cycling, and hiking routes are accessible right from your front door. The historic market town of Wimborne Minster, which has a number of sights and attractions, such as the Museum of East Dorset, Wimborne Model Town & Gardens, and the stunning architecture of Wimborne Minster church, dating back to the 12th century, is easily accessible for sightseeing. Both the well-known coastal town of Bournemouth and the port city of Southampton, both of which are teeming with services and sights worth visiting, are within easy driving distance.
