Karelia - Lovely Log Cabin w/Hot-tub and forest access, sleeps 10

Lovely Finnish log cabin with amazing Forest views, superbly located next to Ringwood Forest with direct forest access. Carefully listening to guest feedback, the property has had a complete make-over and opened in April 2023. The new spacious layout is designed for 10 persons with a cosy in-door living for those cold wet months, with a Scandinavian Wood-Burning Stove at the centre of the open plan area.
The property is ideal for 2 families, with 3 newly renovated bathrooms, and ample living space. The new modern kitchen has a 10 person dining table and opens to the outdoor terrace dining and hot tub through French Doors.
The unique feature is the newly landscaped surrounding lawn, trees & mature garden, which is private to the cottage. The property backs on to Ringwood Forest with miles and miles of walks and cycling areas, including the Castleman Trailways and Moors Valley Country Park.
The location is also conveniently close to the A338/A31 for easy access to both the New Forest (10 mins), Bournemouth Beach (15 mins), and multiple Dorset/Hampshire pubs and restaurants
On the land is a World War 2 army bunker which we have converted into a Finnish Sauna and heated plunge pool. Please ask about booking and prices.
We also offer onsite Italian Chef services - pls ask for details.
Please note: The 100+ reviews below dated pre-April 2023 are BEFORE the renovation of the property.

Wonderful cabin
Absolutely lovely stay at Karelia cabin near Ringwood. The cabin is just lovely. Better than in the photos. Great open plan lounge/dining/kitchen. Comfortable & warm (log burner in centre of room is particularly nice). Really well finished with 3 new bathrooms (all with well sized walk-in showers), kitchen is also newly fitted & the back deck has a hot tub. It is dog friendly. We will certainly be visiting again. Thanks you!

Superb Family Stay
We are two families made up of two adults and one child and two adults and four children. The layout of the property was perfect for our group with all bedrooms just off the main lounge area. We spent 4 days at Karelia and would recommend for anyone looking for a well located, well appointed holiday let. The hot tun was a real feature, for both adults and children. It is a wonderful social space and a short wander into the forest.

Lovely Christmas in Karelia log cabin
We had an amazing christmas in Karelia, decorated with a big christmas tree and fairy lights. Cooking christmas dinner was a breeze in the fully equiped kitchen. Lots of fridge space and a nice size freezer. Log burner and the hot tub made our stay extra special. Walks for as long as you want from the garden directly into the forest. Plenty of parking right by the front door which was great for unloading presents, food and bottles of fizzy etc. Thank you to Timo and Steven. We had such a lovely Christmas xx
