Company information

Magnolia Cottage is a cozy and charming luxury holiday cottage in the New Forest, ideal for a romantic getaway or a fun break with a few friends. Our cottage has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 terraces: one to enjoy the sun all day and one to watch it set. Magnolia Cottage offers a unique and beautifully furnished luxury accommodation for four guests.

Each property is meticulously designed for a luxurious, relaxing, self-catering holiday break.

Heathfield House, the grand manor residence, is the private abode of the owners. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, the Coach House is equipped with solar panels, providing electricity for both properties and all the heat for Magnolia Cottage. Immerse yourself in the epitome of luxury and tranquility at Heathfield Estate, where every detail is crafted to ensure a memorable and enjoyable stay. Over the years there have been very few owners of the Estate; everyone who lived here tended to stay. The most notable owner was Lady Bingham, wife of Major-General Sir George Ridout Bingham (who served as the commanding military officer on St. Helena from 1815 until 1819 during Napoleon Bonaparte’s initial incarceration on the island). In April 1876, Queen Victoria’s eldest granddaughter, Princess Charlotte of Prussia, came to stay at Heathfield House.
