A fantastic 2 bed property

Really clean, tidy, well equipped property. We only stayed 2 nights and weren't in the property for long but it was perfect for our base in the New Forest. Milton is very well equipped with some excellent restaurants. We ate at Rays and The Cave and both were 10/10 with a warm and friendly welcome. Not so the Lazy Lion where the service was so bad we left after 5 mins. Overall, would thoroughly recommend this holiday cottage

Fabulous property in great location

We loved our stay at Seashell Cottage. Communication with Karen and Neil was excellent. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay. The town had plenty of places to eat and drink and all within 15 minutes walk. Our favourite was the Lighthouse café on the sea front. Couldn't fault this property, would definitely recommend.

Great cottage in a lovely town

The cottage in in the middle of Milford on Sea and easily accessible to the shops and restaurants. The car park is tight to get into especially if you have a large car. The cottage itself is exceptionally clean and well cared for -and we are fussy! The sofas and beds are good quality and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There is a small garden for relaxing in. Karen was always on hand and very helpful. a perfect host.

A lovely stay in a 5 star cottage

Thank you Karen, we’ve had a wonderful time in your immaculate cottage. Our little one doesn’t want to go home! The allocation of the property is great for walking into Milford on Sea and the beach. It’s also good for accessing the surrounding towns that are beautiful too. Easy access to Peppa Pig a world too. We highly recommend the property and we’re already thinking about next year!

Fantastic few days away

We (two adults & two children aged 2 and 4) decided to get away for a few days during the October half term. With the New Forest and the beach on your doorstep, we were so pleased to find this beautiful little house to stay in. Karen, the owner, was fantastic in providing lots of ideas of where to visit during our few days away, and the accommodation was beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated, comfortable and extremely homely. So much so, we had two very upset children when the time came to leave. The house was equipped with everything we could have wanted which just made our few days away so much easier with the kids. We will definitely be looking to return in the future to do and visit the many things we simply didn’t have time to do this time round. Thank you so much!
