Guesthouse vacation rentals in The Solent

The barn is a gorgeous place to stay - it is very well appointed and comfortable with many thoughtful touches. The breakfast of homemade granola was a real treat. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in the beautiful area. Natasha was extremely thoughtful and responsive to any requests.

The Hayloft was in a beautiful location; we loved watching the sunset from the balcony. It had everything we required, and Debbie stocked it with all the necessities and more. There was a little bending over to avoid some of the low roofs, but that is to be expected with the type of building; Debbie has utilised the available space perfectly. There wasn't really anywhere for us to let the dogs off due to there being various livestock around, so they had to be kept on the lead whilst outside, which wasn't a problem, but I just thought I would mention it for future reference. Overall, we had a lovely time and would happily stay here again.

Anthony was such a welcoming and generous host. The Cartbarn is a delightful - very well designed, immaculate and in the most beautiful and tranquil setting. Having a delicious, cooked-to-order breakfast delivered to the door each morning by Anthony was the icing on the cake!

The Owl Lodge is amazing, the location is perfect if you are looking for rest and relaxation. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Thank you Jenny and Pete, we had a wonderful stay. Your accommodation was spotless! You gave us lots of advice. We hope to return! Best wishes from the Ivanov's

My wife and I spent a few days at Liz and David's AirBnb. Lovely secluded place, good pubs nearby reached by walks through the forest. Breakfast provided; great shower. Easy to get everywhere in the New Forest. We would definitely stay again!!

Great place to stay, for us it was ideal for visiting Southampton and my brother who was in hospital near by. Lovely quiet garden was a bonus and a visit from the owners Lovely dog. plus good wifi. We stayed 4 nights and would definitely stay again.

This is the perfect place for us as it’s quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the Tennyson Downs to the side. The annex is clean, spacious and has everything you need, including two private outside areas where our dogs could wander free on their own. The location is perfect as it’s within easy reach of Totland, Colwell Bay, Freshwater and Freshwater Bay by car but also on foot. There are shops, takeaways, chemists, leisure facilities and restaurants nearby. Yarmouth is also only a short drive or lovely walk away along the coast and then through the woods by Fort Victoria. There are so many lovely walks that you’re spoilt for choice. Andi checked in on us a couple of times and the hosts were responsive both before and during our stay. We feel lucky to have found this perfect spot and will definitely be returning; this is our second visit and we would highly recommend it.

The Limes was a perfect location to stay for the weekend of multiple family celebrations. Accommodation was clean, tidy and provided everything we needed. The host was welcoming and friendly and available if needed. Would definitely stay there again. 5*

We had a wonderful stay in Emily's air BnB in Bosham .It was furnished to a very high standard ,spotless and very pretty with fresh flowers .The location was beautiful and quiet yet walking distance to two great pubs and harbour walks .Highly recommended .We will go again .

Deer View Lodge was very well presented and spotlessly clean on arrival. It had everything we needed and there were some nice touches which made the place feel homely. We were able to check in and out easily. It was in easy reach of some nice pubs and beaches. We would definately book again if we come back to the area

We had a great stay, the place was quite clean and comfortable, the dog loved having the garden to play in. Ben was super helpful and I loved the list of recommendations in the room. It was lovely to play cards on the patio while the sun was shining. Ben was very good at communicating with us throughout our stay. Would definitely book again

Always very quick to respond to online messages. Parking permit organised for us immediately. Cabin had everything we needed. Bed is slightly tricky to manoeuvre but that is made clear in the listing. Great location. Peaceful and quiet but close to town. Extra touches in kitchen much appreciated (milk, butter etc) Julia thought of everything!

Linda & Mike's Airbnb is a beautifully designed, self-contained building, hidden away at the end of their garden. The property is private, screened off with plants, and accessed via it's own driveway. Outside, there is lots of seating to enjoy views over the South Downs and the surrounding nature. We enjoyed watching a variety of wildlife pass by, including deer, partridges, pheasants, nuthatches, Robins. The jacuzzi is impressive in size and function, and easy to use. Inside is attractive & well equipped. There is a spacious kitchen/living room, showerroom, and compact bedroom. We stayed for a week-long workcation and found it very comfortable. Linda & Mike were great hosts - met us on arrival to show us how to use the jacuzzi - but otherwise left us be. Linda was always responsive to messages. They were very generous with the treats on arrival too! We wished we'd stayed longer! We'd recommend it to any couple looking for a cosy retreat from which to explore the South Downs.

We visit the New Forest quite frequently but this was our first time staying at The Cabin - and what a find it was! The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities you could need - we didn’t feel like there was anything missing. The shower was really powerful, the bed was comfy and we spent a few sunny evenings on the private patio which was lovely. The little welcome gifts left by Tom & Lucy were a very thoughtful touch. The location was perfect for us as a base for exploring everywhere we wanted to go (Lymington/Brockenhurst/Lyndhurst etc) with loads great pubs and restaurants really close by - we had a delicious breakfast at Daisy’s Cafe at the Vineyard next door and a nice Italian at Albero’s in Brockenhurst. The Pig Brewery itself was a real bonus and we found ourselves there everyday come rain or shine! Great beer and a nice vibe. We’ve had the best time here and are already planning our next stay.

Beautiful, clean and such lovely decor. I always love a host that goes above and beyond and Emma does that and more. Easy check in and lots of lovely extras in the home to make the stay nicer (bread,coffee etc) thanks so much !!

We had such a memorable experience staying here — just myself and my three boys aged 7, 12, and 13. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel completely at home. Marley was incredibly friendly with a great sense of humour that had us all laughing and relaxed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and ideal for a family. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into making sure guests feel welcome. The boys didn’t even miss their devices — they were too busy learning and soaking up the experience. Some of our highlights were watching the red kites feed, spotting deer, and seeing badgers feeding — all made even more special by Marley and Fred, who patiently and enthusiastically educated us along the way. The boys gained so much from it, and it was a joy to see them so engaged and curious. We loved it so much we even tried to stay an extra night! Truly a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable place to stay with kids — we’ll treasure the memories

We had a lovely stay at Salvis Hideout. Easy to find and a great welcome from Sam. It was just what we needed. Big bedrooms and TVs. Plenty of parking for two cars. We recommend and would return.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Steve who kindly asked if we had everything we needed and let us know that they were available if we had any questions. The annex was exactly as described and was very clean and tidy. A peaceful stay in a quiet and beautiful setting.

I had a lovely stay in the Garden Room , which was well equipped and stylishly furnished. The Garden Room location is ideal with the sandy beach only a few minutes walk and Heingistbury Head and the nature walks a very enjoyable 30 min walk, with fabulous views . Suzie was a very quick responsive host to any questions I had without making me feel I was being a nuisance. I would certainly recommend visiting the Garden Room.

A stunning home from home. Gorgeous countryside all around and a lovely enclosed private garden. The barn is beautifully decorated, with really personal touches. Breakfast and essentials provided. Comfortable and just a total delight. Anna was helpful, responsive and courteous at all times. Cannot recommend highly enough.

What a fantastic stay! I went to chill out and that’s exactly what happened. Very grateful. The LazyLodge was exactly that!! Had a fab time!! Thank you!

Sarah and her Partner understand how to deliver a great Airbnb experience. The property is located in the most bucolic country scene, and we were surrounded by nature ( woodpeckers, squirrels and horses etc. The hosts are very generous, providing clean utensils, complimentary food and drinks and they really allow you to feel at home in their space. 10/10

Karen and John were exceptionally welcoming and friendly hosts and the Cottage was in a beautiful location for riverside walks and character local pubs. Highly recommended for a cosy relaxing break in amongst beautiful surroundings. Thank you.
