About this house rental
The Art Studio – A Beautiful Family Home in the Heart of Nature
The property is a spacious and beautifully renovated semi-detached country house, with excellent indoor and outdoor dining, including 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Suitable for 12 adults (Bedrooms 1-6) and 2 children (Bedroom 7).
Nestled in two acres of mature woodland on the edge of the New Forest, this retreat has direct access to Ringwood Forest and is perfect for families, friends, and couples.
Comfort Meets Nature
Designed for two families or larger groups, the Art Studio offers:
✅ Expansive living spaces with open-plan kitchen, lounge areas and terraces and a large dining area
✅ Large south-facing terraces with a covered sitting area, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation
✅ Conservatory with beautiful views of the surrounding gardens
✅ A large modern kitchen with high-end appliances, including ovens, hob, microwave, and fridge
✅ 3.5 bathrooms for added convenience for large groups
✅ Two interior wood burning fire-stoves, BBQ and fire-pit
✅ Hot Tub with private views over the mature gardens
A Private Gateway to Nature
The Art Studio borders and offers direct access to Ringwood Forest, the Castleman Trailway and Moors Valley Country Park making cycling, hiking, and wildlife spotting as easy as stepping outside. Keep an eye out for deer, rabbits, squirrels, and a variety of birds that call this land home. Listen to the daily morning chorus of birds.
A Unique Historical Touch
The main living room of the property was an Art Studio built in 1904. On-site, you’ll also discover a restored World War II army bunker, now transformed into an authentic Finnish Sauna and heated plunge pool (1.8m x 1.8m) – a truly one-of-a-kind experience. (Available by request at a fee – ask for details.)
Local Charm, Just Minutes Away
The Art Studio is just a 5-minute drive from Ringwood, a charming market town filled with cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, and boutique shops.

We had a lovely family Xmas break. Steven and Timo were great hosts and v accommodating to our requests. The cottage was decorated so beautifully for Xmas with log fires burning on arrival. The facilities were ideal for a large group. We all thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and surrounding walks.

Great host! Very welcoming.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
We loved the cosy warmth of the wood burner on arrival. The open plan sitting & dining area was spacious enough to easily accommodate our party of 14 plus dogs. The hot tub was a big success as was having such easy access to the forest. A great weekend!
