The property was beautifully presented, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The check-in process was smooth, and everything was exactly as described. The bedroom was cozy with fresh linens and soft towels, and the attention to detail in the décor made it feel extra special. Kitchen facilities were well-equipped, Wi-Fi was reliable, and overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay — I would happily recommend this property to others.

Short Break Away
We chose Lilypad Cottage for a short break away between Christmas and New Year and we could not recommend it highly enough.
We found from the easy checking in until we left a real home from home experience and found everything we needed there and exceptionally clean, the added bonus was the location which is a short car ride to the beach and town and a short stroll from the cottage to Ringwood Market town.

Really lovely house, everything we needed
The house is absolutely lovely, really clean and has everything you could want. It’s really close to the centre of Ringwood - a short walk. Anthea was very helpful and the welcome pack was such a nice touch. Highly recommended!

Great near town location
This is a small modern cottage located at the end of the marketplace in Ringwood. You can leave the car and walk into town and I even walked to catch my National Express coach back to the airport, it was that close! You are also within a very short distance of the Castleman Trail which is a popular walking and cycling route. So if you want to walk your dog or to go for a cycle ride you are extremely close. This is one of my dog's favorite walking spots! This is a clean, bright and safe spot to stay!
