Cottage holiday rentals in Freshwater Bay

We've had a lovely week in this beautiful house in the heart of new forest. The host welcomed us and showed us around & how everything works which was a lovely touch from their side! The house is well equipped with literally everything you could possibly need. Huge bonus for having a hot tub, bbq, basketball, badminton! We've had lovely walks and be able to see the donkeys, horses, deers, bunny rabbits - just had the best time enjoying nature. Pub is also in a walkable distance or a short drive. We felt very safe during our stay. Would wholeheartedly recommend for those who wants some peace and quiet surrounded by nature.

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay in the New Forest! The cottage is equipped everything you need, is located in beautiful surroundings with ample cycling routes nearby, and has a hot tub as an added bonus. Cindy and Lina are super accommodating and attentive hosts. We will most definitely be returning!

First of all we have to give credit to Ashley who was a fantastic host. Had a minor issue and Ashley responded and dealt with it straight away. It was clear he wanted to ensure his guests had a perfect stay. The cottage itself was perfect and exactly as described in the listing. Extremely spacious and stocked with all the items you might need. The garden and outdoor hot tub/living area is incredible. We were fortunate to have good weather during Easter and I imagine during the warmer months it would be even more idyllic. We had three children in our party and they loved all the space. Location is ideal for exploring the island. We went to The Needles, Shanklin, Sandown, Tapnell Farm and Robin Hill and were never more than 25 minutes away. Highly recommend Ashley's cottage and we can't wait to return one day.

The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

We had such a fantastic time in Jocelyn and David’s Air B & B with our 11 month old twins. The place is very child friendly with cots, highchairs and plenty of toys which our twins loved to play with. Everything is very cosy and comfortable (with comfy sofas and beds) and the kitchen is well equipped. Everything was also very clean. We also enjoyed having a glass of wine in the hot tub after we put our twins to bed. It is in a great location with plenty of great nearby pubs and walks. A big highlight was all the amazing gentle and friendly animals - horses, a donkey, and chickens to name a few which we and our twins enjoyed going to see every morning. We also thought Jocelyn and David were thoughtful hosts and very friendly. We would thoroughly recommend to families or couples. We hope to be back soon! Thank you Jocelyn and David!

We had a fantastic few days in Godshill, staying with elderly parents and 2 young children. Host was very helpful and let us check-in a bit early, the house is beautiful and has everything you need with perfectly labelled instructions. Very comfortable beds and loved the hot tub and games room! Thoroughly recommend!!!

We had a really great stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook and recommend to others. The location was really perfect for what we wanted. Chrissie is a brilliant host, she has really thought of everything and her instructions were clear. We didn’t need any help so Chrissie left us to enjoy our stay in peace but if we did need anything we were reassured that she would be responsive. Communication was great. Loved the hot tub and wood burner.

Excellent accomodation.Everything you need for your stay. Centrally located to visit New Forest Christchurch Bournemouth & Poole. Lovely to come back & have use of the Hot Tub & relax. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely way to spend a few days over the Easter hols the kids. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable, thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely little cottage. Really cosy and plenty of space. Great pubs nearby all in walking distance, and some lovely walks too. Great place to take the dogs! Thank you for such a lovely break!

We had a lovely stay, everything was clean and as described. The stairs up to the bedroom are steep and a bit of a squeeze so bear this in mind. Debbie was a responsive and helpful host beforehand. I’d recommend this place to stay with the above caveat re the stairs.

Lovely home from home cottage. We stayed with a toddler and he loved it. The host helpfully provided a cot and high chair. The cottage is close to local amenities. Lots to visit on the island.

If I could give extra stars beyond the 5 star rating, I really would. Hillary's AirBnB is beautiful, exactly what my wife and I needed and agreed it was one of the best places we've stayed at via AirBnB. Hillary allowed for an early check-in, was really communicative being friendly and helpful whenever we did communicate. Cannot recommend enough!

The Jusmin's place is amazing! we are extended our stay for another night because we so much love the house and the village! Only one thing let us down is there's problem with Internet. We didn’t had any for the all 3 days, been trying to resolve this but it was not really support from Jusmin, only promise to call BT.... But overall will suggest to visit the Ventnor and stay at Jusmine house.

Nicole’s place was ideal for a spring break, property was fantastic 5 minute walk into the village, and 5 minutes walk into the magnificent forest to walk the dog in the morning. Highly recommend gardeners retreat. Ideal to get away and relax yet have enough on your doorstep to keep you entertained.

This is my second stay at the cottage. Perfect location with parking facilities across the road. The cottage looks nice inside and feels homely. Lots of nice cafes and restaurants to choose from. The Lost Mill Bakery on the high street is a must if you like freshly baked bread and sweet treats!

A really great house for our New Forest visit. Managed a couple of very enjoyable gravel bike rides along the coast and through the forest. This is a great base for exploring the forest.

Great little find! Loved the outdoor space where we were able to sit and have food with family. Log burner was lovely in the evening and made it even more cosy. Shower was hot and powerful and the kitchen had everything we needed. Will recommend and will definitely book again

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

Lovely place to stay, plenty of space. Bedroom an especially nice space. Good bathroom, with advantage of an additional downstairs loo. New Forest was beautiful and the cottage is in a really good spot. Surprising downside, an old fashioned, non smart TV. DVDs were supplied, but this did seem a strange oversight.

Cathia was an incredible host and made me feel so welcome. I was staying with my bridesmaids for my wedding and Cathia made the trip extra special. She is super responsive and her place is beautiful! Thank you so much!

Wow! What a fabulous find - cute little cottage with everything with needed - clean/comfortable and a fab garden area to enjoy the sunshine - perfect location for cycling to the New forest or walking into Lymington.

Lovely stay here with family - the cottage was very well equipped and we felt very comfortable. Great location near the beach with walks from the doorstep. We would definitely come back!

Outstanding accommodation, location and service from Lyn. Hope to return soon.
