Box Tree Cottage has a delightfully comfortable private annexe suitable for one or two adults. It is light, bright and decorated in a simple fresh style with every consideration for your comfort yet retaining the character of the cottage. It has been refurbished to a high standard and offering non smoking accommodation for the comfort of my guests. It is self contained and entirely private adjacent to the owners house.
I continue to follow VRBO guidance and safety updates in regard to Covid infection. This allows sufficient time for ventilation and increased time for cleaning which has always been to a very high standard. Most guests have rated it as sparkling clean or indeed spotless. I use Ecover cleaning products combined with the recommended disinfectant.
You will find tea, coffee - both instant and ground, herbal teas and condiments for your convenience. I will be in touch with my contact details and code to the key safe shortly prior to your arrival.
The inviting living room is well furnished with a comfortable sofa with a 24 inch TV/DVD.
The kitchenette has a dining table with two chairs There is a combination grill, microwave and oven with an electric two ring ceramic hob. You will find a good size fridge, kettle and toaster and all crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment and utensils of good quality.
At the end of the living room you will find a french door opening onto a secluded courtyard with patio table and two chairs which catches the morning sun and is a pleasant spot for breakfast.
Upstairs the galleried bedroom has a delightful oak double bedstead which leads onto a tastefully appointed en-suite shower room. The duvet and pillows are the specialist anti allergy range from John Lewis. There is a good sized chest of drawers which allows for generous storage and ample hanging space.
The annexe is cosy and warm from the efficient and effective electric heating which are on preset timers.
Upstairs, both bedside tables have reading lights as well as relaxing wall lights on dimmer switches. In the en-suite shower room there is a razor socket, heated towel rail and Mira electric sport shower. There are full instructions on how to use all the electrical items in the annexe.
On arrival you will find a designated safe parking area on the drive at the front of the cottage with easy access to your private entrance. A key safe allows you to arrive at your convenience.
The annexe is adjacent to my home and I have my entrance on the opposite side and at the back of the cottage. Guests will be given my numbers or can just knock on my door. Please do not hesitate to ask, I am there to help out if needed. We may meet on the drive there but be assured that you will be left quietly to enjoy your time away.
Everton village is is a quiet and ideal location to explore the New Forest National Park with its picturesque villages such as Brockenhurst. The sailing town of Lymington provides wonderful walks around its sea wall, great restaurants cafes and a large variety of shops and designer boutiques.
Within walking distance, you will find Milford on Sea with its promenade, clean beaches, restaurants, traditional pubs and cafes.
There are numerous opportunities for walking, cycling, picnics in the beautiful scenery of the New Forest with its natural harbours such as Keyhaven, Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard. I am happy to give personal recommendations of restaurants, cafes or places to visit.
And last but certainly not least, the friendly Everton village store is just at the end of the lane offering a wide range of groceries, fresh bread, fruit and vegetables and an excellent selection of wines, beers and spirits. The Post Office counter provides easy banking facilities.
At the other end of the lane, barely a a five minute walk is The Crown Pub.
It is the most ideal to arrive by car as the bus services are limited. The nearest mainline station is Brockenhurst with direct trains to London and all other railway networks. Trains go to Southampton and Bournemouth both of which have large shopping centres, for example, West Quay in Southampton or a day out on the train from Brockenhurst to Weymouth where you will find the journey interesting and Weymouth has a wonderful beach, sea front and harbour pubs.
