Cottage vacation rentals in The Solent

Martin’s cottages are beautiful converted stables on a lovely farm. Everything is very high quality and we had a great weekend.

Amazing property for the family - so calm and beautiful. Kids loved the zip line and we felt right at home

We had a lovely stay at Greenbank. The house was spacious, tidy and clean, and we appreciated the extras provided by the host (towels, toiletries, tea and coffee). The property is just a short walk away from a playground , shop, pharmacy and local places to explore, which we enjoyed investigating. Our 4-year-old loved reading the children's books from around the house and the garden was a lovely spot to play in. We paid to have the hot tub, which we found easy to use and great fun. Thank you to Amy for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay at Stag cottage and fully enjoyed the huge garden during our stay. Communications with Cindy were excellent and she was really quick to respond and keen to ensure our stay was the best it could be. It was most definitely a lucky find and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. 😊🦌❤️

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery, and again we absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful location. Grant is really helpful.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful location in the New Forest. The hosts were really welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful with local recommendations, the property is lovely, and all the animals were a big bonus for the kids. Highly recommended and we’d love to return.

This was our second time staying and we loved it as much as the first time. The place is so peaceful and cosy. Jane was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future!

We had a lovely few days, lots of room in the house, hot tub and games room a bonus, along with the deer in the garden yesterday morning! Many thanks for the welcome pack and milk.

Would not hesitate to book again. The cottage was spacious, clean and had everything you might need plus more. It is also a short walk away from Freshwater Bay. Also importantly the hosts Zena and Phil do all they can to make sure your stay goes without a hitch, a lovely couple.

The most gorgeous cottage in stunning surroundings! We have had a wonderful 4 nights here exploring the island. The local pub was great and the village store at Brighstone so handy! The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Thank you!

Honeysuckle Cottage is on the main road through East Meon but once inside it is quiet. All the furnishing and equipment are good quality and although the cottage is small, there is plenty of storage and it has everyone needed for a relaxing weekend. As others have said the second bedroom is very small but our son and his girlfriend slept comfortably and had enough space for their clothes. The garden is secure, so perfect for our dog. It’s also a sun trap so we were able to enjoy relaxing outside even though it wasn’t particularly hot weather. There are many excellent walks on the doorstep with stunning views. We were able to eat at The George on a couple of evenings and didn’t use our cars all weekend, which was just perfect. We did not park our cars on the main road but there’re plenty of places to park in the village, including the car park.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay, all queries were delt with professionally and efficiently. I would thoroughly recommend the accommodation and we intend to return in the near future.

The Boathouse never disappoints! We had a lovely weekend here - great to be back. Sad to see the Hot Tub go but the views and the setting reminds us why it's one of our favourite places. Highly recommend!

Amazing place to stay, one of the best. It has everything you need and more. Lovely touch with a bottle of wine waiting for you. The location is perfect to explore Bosham, which is stunning.

The perfect house for a family gathering - 9 adults and 2 dogs. Spacious, clean, well-equipped house with lots of indoor and outdoor games, room for 9 of us to dine easily, well-equipped kitchen, 2 comfortable sitting rooms, separate annexe with lots of things to do and gym equipment. Beds all very comfortable. The highlight for us on a beautiful sunny weekend was the garden - large grassy area for games and play, mature flowerbeds, 2 large tables, shed full of garden toys. There was also a bbq area and children's outdoor equipment. Jo responded quickly to any messages, but her clear instructions and detailed information meant there were very few questions. She also gave many ideas for walks, restaurants etc.

We loved Emma’s cottage - cosy and comfortable. The village of East Meon is delightful with wonderful walks (Old Winchester Hill with its Iron Age fort and barrows is especially recommended). There is an excellent pub, and East Meon is a good base for visiting nearby places such as Winchester and Salisbury. Emma and her husband were very responsive. Highly recommended.

Deb is a most friendly & welcoming host. The cottage is delightful with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Debs cottage benefits from good quality equipment and products that makes staying there even more special. She makes parking easy given that the cottage is adjacent to a main road! The position at the edge of the New Forest is fantastic for getting to so many lovely spots as well as the coast with lovely beaches are just a short drive away. We enjoyed several days cycling and walking in the area.

Allie's place was a hit with the entire family. Our 2 year old tremendously enjoyed running in the garden and playing with the old tractor that stood there. Allie gave us great pub recommendations nearby her property. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen fully kitted out for cooking. You need to follow Allie's exact GPS instructions on how to drive to her property (which is not what we have done) because network connection gets suddenly very poor in the vicinity of the property, so you can't rely on your phone anymore at that point. There is a good wifi connection once you arrive at the property.

We had such a lovely stay here, you could not find a more perfect location for a relaxing time, and to top it of the home is immaculate. Neil's communication was perfect keep us informed about everything and made sure we got settled. thanks so much for welcoming us.

We loved Susan’s cottage. It was perfect for our family of 4. It was really cosy and welcoming, we felt immediately at home. Location was great, being able to walk to the pubs and restaurants in the evening, but set in a lovely peaceful little row of cottages. Susan was also a super helpful host and really responsive. We had a great holiday, loved exploring Yarmouth and West Wight.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bear Cottage. It was warm and cosy, and had everything we needed for our long weekend. A short walk to Beaulieu and ideally situated for visiting the Motor Museum. We especially enjoyed using the tennis courts (agreed by prior arrangement). Thank you Angy - a wonderful host!

Farmhouse cottage set in beautiful countryside. Warm welcome from the host, Claudia, with a tour of the farmyard to meet the donkeys, goats, chickens and pigs. Swimming pool and games room were a real bonus.

We had a lovely stay at Ana’s house. It had everything we needed to stay in and relax, and some great pubs nearby to eat out too. It was more spacious than the pictures suggest, with a great living area which looked out over a grassy field, trees and river. We managed some very British wildlife sightings too from the comfort of the living room with visits from red kites, deer and a young hare! Ana went above and beyond as a host welcoming us on arrival with a fresh loaf of home baked sourdough bread. It was a perfect stay!

We had a really nice stay with 2 small children. Julie clearly has put a lot of care into making the cottage accommodating. It's a beautiful spot with lovely outdoor space. The toys, board games and dvds were also great to have.
