I can't seem to post a link - but Ive found this one on cottages.com available on 11 August £2469 for 7 nights. It's in the New Forest - Burley near Ringwood. It advertises a pub within 1 mile :) The compromise is a pull out bed in one of the rooms but all the rooms are spacious & it does look lovely. It should be within your 2 hours drive limit

This lovely family home stands peacefully overlooking fields to the rear, along a lane, about a mile from the centre of Burley and approximately 5 miles from the popular town of Ringwood. Inside, the light and airy open plan kitchen/dining room has an seating area, lovely oak floor, Rayburn and French doors that lead out to the garden. There is a separate cosy living room with an open fire, a single bedroom and a separate toilet on the ground floor too.

The ever-popular village of Burley has a variety of gift shops, the Cider Store, ice cream parlours, tea rooms, pubs and eateries, as well as a bus stop for those looking to venture out without the car. Explore the New Forest National Park, where you can see the roaming ponies, donkeys and cattle, and enjoy off-road walking, riding and cycling. The popular sailing town of Lymington is about a 20-minute drive with ferry trips to the Isle of Wight, or meander along the cobbled streets with boutiques and eateries along the marina. Bournemouth and Poole, both with award-winning beaches, are within easy reach, as is the city of Salisbury with its medieval cathedral. There are many places of interest for the family including Marwell Zoo, New Forest Otter and Owl Wildlife Park, Beaulieu Motor Museum and Exbury Gardens to name but a few. Further afield but worth the trip, are Stonehenge, Monkey World, the Tank Museum near Wool, and Southampton with its maritime history and West Quay shopping centre. Alternatively spend a day exploring the unspoilt countryside of Dorset and famous World Heritage Jurassic Coast at West Bay, Bridport and onto Weymouth with its superb scenery and coastal walking. Lyme Regis with its harbour, renowned Cobb, beach, shops and activities such as fossil hunting, boating, swimming and fishing, makes for a great day out. Beach 10 miles.
