About this property

Beautiful, cosy New Forest 2 bed cottage, close to the beach!

SPECIAL RATES FOR AUTUMN & WINTER! Gorgeous country cottage in quiet location on the edge of the stunning New Forest, just 1 mile from the beach and close to the New Forest. Oak Tree Cottage is a modern barn conversion, beautifully renovated with wooden flooring, underfloor heating throughout, double-height open plan living area and lovely furnishings. It is a cosy and comfortable base after a day exploring the New Forest and lovely Hampshire/Dorset coastline. Set in open countryside on a private rural lane, it is a peaceful holiday location, but close to popular Lymington and just down the road from the beach at the friendly village Milford on Sea and stunning Keyhaven salt marshes.

Start your day with the papers and a coffee outside in your private south facing garden (a real sun trap!) or in the modern kitchen/diner, with doors out on to the patio. After a day of beachcombing, sightseeing or cycling through the forest, sleep well in comfortable beds, between Egyptian cotton sheets. There is a stylish ensuite bedroom with king size bed. Perfect for small families or friends, there's also a twin room, with patio doors on to the garden and another bathroom with shower, bath, heated towel rail and towels.

You'll find the kitchen well equipped, an outdoor table, chairs and cushions, for al fresco dining/relaxing. In the cooler months the underfloor heating throughout the whole cottage will keep you warm and toasty after a day exploring. There's a large TV and board games if you fancy an evening in.

Please note that the garden is completely secure for your furry friends.

Enjoyable stay and very helpful host. Property is as described and true to the pictures in the listing. Would book again.The entrance to the property was a little trick to find the first time.

Great accommodation

We stayed for 8 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is great. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and well kitted out. The check in was easy too. We’ve enjoyed being so close to both the New Forest and the sea at Milford. Bournemouth is easily accessible for day trips too.

Very well equipped, clean house close to the new forest

Super clean and well equipped house. Location is relatively quiet and great for my infant and 3 year old - close to Peppa pig world (!), Various beaches etc. All on 1 level was very practical for us with great showers, well equipped kitchen and garden with BBQ. Very comfy beds and we all slept well.

Lovely barn conversation on a great spot to explore!

The property was first class, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The location was ideal for us and we used it as a base for trips to hurst castle, IOW etc. We had a small issue with the heating which Emma was able to resolve almost immediately without any fuss. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the new forest!

Enjoyable stay but slightly disappointed overall with property. On arrival garden at front side and rear needed attendance untidy and overgrown. Not like photos. No bbq as in picture and details. But Emma did bring one and was helpful with information on area and restaurants. Nice touch her having left us a bottle of Prosecco but only 2 glasses for fizz which we did mention when saying thank you but no more appeared. No draws to put anything away in bedroom just small hanging space. There was a cupboard in hall which was full of spare bedding which could have been utilized for draw space for clothes. There were no instructions for oven, dishwasher etc. no information book in property which I have always found in other properties.

Eine klasse Ferienwohnung in toller Umgebung. Die Lage ist perfekt, um sowohl schnell zum Strand, als auch in den Wald für Wanderungen zu gelangen. Wir haben uns wieder sehr wohl gefühlt im schönen New Forest. Ich liebe es dort. Eine kleine Anmerkung muss ich jedoch zur Unterkunft machen. Die Wohnung ist wirklich nett und perfekt aufgeteilt. Leider war bei unserem Aufenthalt das Geschirr, vor allem die Pfannen nich sauber und der Abstellraum und Schrank im Flur voll mit alter Bettwäsche. Schade eigentlich, da der Kontakt zum Vermieter und die Wohnung ansich toll waren. Ein Sonnenschirm für das Frühstück wäre noch super. Trotzdem würde ich wieder kommen und hoffe es war nur eine Ausnahme.

Short stay

Nice and clean inside, equipped well. Could not say the same for the outside, very untidy, weeds everywhere, patio area and garden not very well looked after which let the property down.

Great weekend break in the New Forest

The cottage was well furnished and comfortable and with everything you need. The garden is a lovely sun trap very secluded and private. We enjoyed horse riding and forest walks too cold to swim but lovely to seat on the benches by the sea with an icecream. Can't wait to be back and explore more soon.

About the host

Hosted by Emma

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Emma. Ie would love to welcome you to Oak Tree Cottage. I love this area and want to share it - I know it really well so can always give you lots of advice on where to go and what to do. I fell in love with the area more than 15 years ago - with the beach and New Forest on the doorstep, how could I not?

I want to help make your stay really special - please let me know if you need any help choosing restaurants or days out, recommending catering companies for those special birthdays or just having a meal ready in the fridge. I can recommend a paddle surf company, bike hire, fishing trips, pony riding, kite surfing - there is so much to do here.

Along with my 2 boys, I love to travel and have stayed in HomeAway properties all over the place - so I know what makes a good place to stay and make sure that I am doing the same with my own property. Don't hesitate to get in touch if something isn't right. Emma

Why they chose this property

This was a derelict barn on our land, in a perfect rural location. In 2018 we got planning permission to turn it into 3 lovely cottages.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and private, yet just a short drive away from beaches, villages, towns, restaurants, etc.
