A comfortable, spacious home with a large garden in a lovely location.

Woodfearn is a comfortable, spacious home in a lovely location. It is situated in the charming village of Sway, opposite paddocks, with two village pubs, a convenience store and other amenities just a short walk away.

Sway is surrounded by open forest and heath, with miles of walking and cycling tracks and new forest ponies on the doorstep. It's a short drive to New Forest villages - Brockenhurst, Burley, Lyndhurst - and pretty coastal town of Lymington. There are several lovely beaches nearby. The local train station connects to Brockenhurst with fast trains to London, Bournemouth and Southampton.

The house has a spacious living room with lots of comfortable seating, a sunny conservatory and a study area with desk. The country pine kitchen/diner is fully equipped with modern appliances and has a separate utility area.

On the ground floor there is a double bedroom and separate bathroom with shower. On the first floor is a twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, plus two single bedrooms and an additional WC. Two pull out guest beds are available on request.

Outside is a large patio with table, chairs and parasol for outdoor dining. Steps lead down to a fully enclosed garden with lawn and shrubs. The drive has parking for up to three cars and there is secure storage in the garage for bikes etc.

We are a dog friendly house with no extra charges for your pets. If you would like your furry friends to cuddle up on the sofa with you, we simply ask that you bring a throw for them. The back garden is great for dogs – large, fully fenced, lots of bushes to sniff around in. Most beaches in Hampshire are dog friendly, while Dorset beaches allow dogs in designated areas.
The following items are provided for your convenience: bed linen, towels, tea towels, dish cloths, sponge, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, liquid soap and toilet rolls. Travel cot and high chair are available on request.

Sway Rental August
Lovely, spacious property. Nice outdoor area in back garden with conservatory. Good facilities such as a dishwasher, washing machine and drier. Very well-equipped with both utensils to cleaning products to games and TV/video.Great umbrella shower and crisp, clean bed linen. Situated well as easy to get to Lymington to the ferry for the Isle of Wight, Highcliffe beach and there is a train-line to Bournemouth and Southampton. The only thing which needs improving is the garden chairs as they were a bit dodgy and need checking. We didn't actually have to have any communication with the owner but all access/ TV/WiFi and washing machine info was all easily accessible which was brilliant. Would definitely rent this property again. Highly recommended.

Our second stay
Large, comfortable, well equipped house with a very helpful owner in a great location for seeing the New Forest and coast. We stayed a couple of years ago and couldn’t find anything better when we wanted to come to The New Forest again this year with our baby and 2 year old so we had a second enjoyable stay here.

Great base for exploring
Nice location, beds very comfy. Found quite a lot of the double glazing hard to open and shut. Two of the bedroom doors would not close and kept banging open and shut whenever we had a window open which was very annoying. A full size ironing board and some more pegs would have been useful as well as there was only a small table top ironing board. Great place to stay to explore the new forest.

Great family accommodation
Lovely spacious property in a quiet neighbourhood but in the heart of the forest and about 20 minutes to the sea. Good local pub within walking distance. This house needs a little maintenance and has a nostalgic 80’s feel to it, though the appliances are very up-to-date. It is very comfortable and has a lovely outdoor dining area and beautifully planted rear garden full of unusual bushes, shrubs and flowers. We ranged in age from 9 months to 90 years and all of us loved it here. Thank you Helen for a perfect family break.

Hideaway in Sway!
It was a lovely sized property in a great location for walking and visiting the area. It had all we needed in terms of facilities and was very comfortable. Helen was helpful regarding any questions we had beforehand and when we needed extra help with a problem on our day of leaving was happy to help. We would definitely recommend Woodfearn.
