A woodland cabin called Tilda

Beneath the trees, Tilda is a Fordingbridge self-catering hideaway that invites guests to shed life’s frenetic rhythms and attune themselves to the cadence of nature, regardless of the season. A haiku of design, the interiors of this botanist’s lair are a masterclass in clean line aesthetics and Marie-Kondo-ish everything in its place curation. You’ll find a woodburning stove that sits before checkerboard tiles, a deep-set window seat for two offers picturesque vistas and an  antique piano acts as a gentle counterpoint.

The oatmeal toned bedroom is a cocoon of lovely linens. The south facing garden abounds with native plantings along the River Allen’s untamed banks. Offering the perfect vantage point for twilight celestial observation, the hot tub and fire pit promise snug romantic evenings.
