Cottage holiday rentals in The Solent

What a wonderful and truly beautiful home. Was a pleasure to stay in this serene countryside hotspot with a tree house, playground, incredible private lake and surrounding natural beauty. Very special. Can’t recommend enough!

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.

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

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 just had a wonderful long weekend in Wherwell in Rob & Sue’s beautiful cottage. Such a stunning village, the cottage exceeded our expectations, Rob & Sue were fantastic hosts & the breakfast pack was great. We finished the weekend with a lovely soak in the hot tub. Thank you Rob for the lift on the Saturday & your kindness.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

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.

From the warm welcome and the homemade brownies to the clean and spacious interior, Bentley Cottage is the perfect place for a New Forest escape. We are already looking forward to our next time!!

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!

A lovely stay at Dapple Cottage with our 2 year old daughter. Our first time in IOW and we will surely be returning! Mike's cottage was a lovely, clean, kitchen fully stocked, comfortable beds, Mike provided a cot for our daughter and the garden area had a lovely play set/slide and sunken trampoline that was a nice touch. Mike was very responsive to messages, provided information details and recommendations before we arrived and also provided discount codes for the Ferry booking too. Nice location to stay in close to some of the key places we wanted to visit.

Beautiful location and the host added very thoughtful amenities like a choice of bubble baths to choose from, a massager machine, fans in every bedroom which was very much needed during this heatwave. The choice of teas and coffees were amazing too.

We had a wonderful stay at Breakers Sound. The cottage is idealyic, it looks like the front of a postcard! The location is peaceful with lovely views of the sea, and walkable and a quick drive into Ventnor. We went with a 2.5yr old and he had a lovely time, with a big travel cot provided and high chair. Plus there are games, toys and books and a great snug if you’ve got older kids so they can hang out. The cottage had everything we needed & was very comfortable. Sylvie was a wonderful host. Very friendly and helpful, sharing lots of ideas of things to do and visit, and places to eat. She was so helpful and made us feel incredibly welcome.

Thank You for a Lovely Stay, Wendy! We had such a wonderful time staying at your Airbnb from the 5th to the 9th of May. It was the perfect little getaway for me, my parents, and my baby daughter Aria. Your home was clean and so comfortable—it made a great base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We loved travelling around the island and especially enjoyed visiting the Needles at Alum Bay, the seafronts at Ryde and Shanklin, and the charm of Ventnor. It was always a pleasure to come back in the evenings and relax in such a peaceful setting. The surrounding scenery was beautiful too—we even enjoyed just strolling around the area. Thank you again for being such a thoughtful host. We truly had no complaints at all and would definitely love to return in the future. We’ll be recommending your place to friends and family!

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 thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Mallards Cottage and will definitely return for a longer stay. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped with nice touches such as fresh flowers and a selection of basic provisions in the fridge. We found it very homely with lovely views across the large lawn. The host family were very welcoming and friendly especially with local information and places to eat. We would thoroughly recommend Mallards Cottage to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa’s. The beds were incredibly comfy and the house was cosy and beautifully decorated with everything you need. Lisa was really accommodating too, thank you.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at The Coach House. Gary and Claire were very approachable and friendly and they have created a space that accommodates all. We loved the personal touches such as the biscuits, milk and coffee on arrival as well as the games and books that were there to enjoy-which were an added bonus! The house is opposite a cricket field and there is a play park further down the road and has everything for a family stay. We had a great time and would love to stop again.

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.
