Cottage holiday rentals in Southampton

We had a wonderful stay—perfect location for our family of four and our dog to enjoy the New Forest. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, and the kids especially loved feeding the sheep and goats with the food provided. The stables were just right for what we needed and had everything to make our stay comfortable. Astrid was very helpful and communicated well throughout. We’d definitely love to visit again!

This was our second stay at Hazel's and we loved it again! The cottage is so peaceful and furnished perfectly so you feel right at home. Hazel had left some treats for us on arrival, which was so kind and thoughtful. Our daughter loves the zip line so we were straight out flying through the woods! On this trip we even saw two deer which was particularly magical. We went exploring in Stockbridge, which was beautiful and had lunch at the Silver Plough - Hazel's recommendation - which was fabulous. We love coming back and unwinding. You feel a million miles away from everything and yet you're only 10 minutes from amenities. It's a special place to stay - and yes, we will be back again! Thank you for another wonderful trip!

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!

Lovely place to stay. You can't tell from pics but it looks over a stable with horses coming and going which is lovely. And the hot tub is great.

Had a great time at the Wisteria Lodge - very clean, hosts were very friendly and was perfect for a quiet getaway from the city. Would recommend!

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.

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!

Absolutely beautiful little cottage. Stunning location and extremely comfortable. The towels, beds and bedding are dreamy, the little soaps left were gorgeous and the dog towel, bowls and treats were a really thoughtful addition. In all, we had an absolutely wonderful stay and simply did not want to leave.

perfect location as in the very centre of the town. great place to stay and relax at night. kitchen is essential but working. we had an issue with the coffe machine that was solved properly and rapidly by the host. super clean and with special treatment and bottle of rosé from the host. the kitchen hob is a bit slow so not ideal if you are a chef otherwise great location and value for money. we will comeback

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!

A beautiful cosy cottage - lovely touches throughout and everything we, as a (fairly) young family, needed. All the rooms are gorgeous and it was very clean on arrival too. Loved the garden - all very peaceful. Great location too, just a short walk into town. Loved it 👍👍👍

We enjoyed some wonderful relaxing days,in this beautiful cottage,the children loved the surroundings , in the mornings they visited the cows ,horses and saw the squirrels climbing the trees. It was great to arrive and check the comforts of the house and the care with which it was decorated,we visited the nearby forests and 10 minutes away is Paultons Park Park. Lisa responded to every question or need we had , we would not hesitate to repeat,thank you very much for everything.

Bluebell Cottage is an attractive and comfortable place to stay within walking distance of many cafes and restaurants and in the heart of the New Forest. Comfy beds, nice sofas, a good kitchen and an attractive outdoor space. Altogether, a great place to stay.

A great space for visiting family in Fareham and very dog friendly. We'd definitely consider staying again if available when we visit in the future! Made to feel very welcome by Zoe.

This is the second time we’ve been hosted at this Air bnb and just like our first visit, it did not disappoint! The beautiful and peaceful surroundings and local animals was definitely the best highlight for my 4 year old. Checking in & out was super easy and straightforward, and it really does feel like a home away from home. Absolutely perfect if you’ve got young children with lots of games, puzzles etc and all the necessities you could ever need when travelling with children! (especially child friendly kitchen bits!) Would 100% recommend, and definitely will be booking again in the future!

We had a great time at Patricia’s place. It’s a great, peaceful location. The house is very warm and welcoming and extremely well stocked. Patricia is a fantastic host who left us cookies, fruits and even some basic groceries. Upon knowing that it was our daughter’s birthday, she even kept gifts and a card for her, how sweet! We were a family of 5 and were very comfortable. We were able to make day trips to Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton! We cannot recommend enough about this beautiful airbnb and its host. Just bear in mind, parking outside the Airbnb is very limited, but there is plenty of parking within a few mins walk.

This is a great location for exploring the New Forest and Hampshire generally - close to main roads but very quiet. Diane is a lovely host and her house was ideal - two staircases reach up to the bedrooms, two at one end and an ensuite bedroom at the other end. There's a second bathroom under the two bedrooms, so for two sets of adults and two little children it worked wonderfully well, and Diane offered a stairgate too. A pub across the road (but no noise from it) and a small supermarket about 250 yards away really help too. There's a sitting room but also a small office and a separate room with a TV/DVD setup which suited the little ones, and a good selection of games and DVDs. We'd certainly recommend it.

Senga was very friendly, proactive and accommodating. The welcomd basket of milk, cereal, coffee, biscuits etc was greatly appreciated and a very homey touch. The enclosed garden was beautiful. Very close to the town of Hythe - you can walk to the ferry and you're just across the street from a cottage that once housed Lawrence of Arabia.

Lovely clean property. it was just as the description and photos showed. Stephen instructions were absolutely perfect and he responded to our messages quickly and efficiently

We arrived at the place and Sandy let us in and showed us around. An immaculately clean and spacious cottage. We enjoyed the views out over the fields where we saw deer every morning. The house was warm and comfortable for our mid-February stay. A fully equipped kitchen meant we could ease into our day with toast and a boiled egg, bread and eggs having been provided to us, and a nespresso coffee. Also, a wonderfully cosy place to relax in the dark evenings after a day of wandering around Salisbury or the New Forest.

A stunning cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. The cottage had everything we needed - it’s well equipped, clean and spacious with some lovely little extras which were much appreciated. Couldn’t have asked for a better location - in the heart of the New Forest with so many amazing activities and places to visit on your doorstep. Perfect for a family holiday. Nicky’s a very friendly and welcoming host and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and to let us know she was available if we needed anything else. We highly recommend staying in this cottage and would absolutely love to come back!

This was our second stay here as we were so impressed the first time. Sarah is the perfect host, leaving us alone yet making sure we're OK too. She really has thought of everything and if there isn't something there that you require, I would imagine she would go out of her way to try and provide it for you. Lovely location if you like rural peace and quiet, which we do. We tried the local pub this time too and we weren't disappointed, lovely pub meals in a cosy, traditional setting. We could not recommend this lovely place enough!
