Cottage holiday rentals in Southampton

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

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 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. 😊🦌❤️

If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, calm and relaxing stay, look no further.

We had an amazing stay at Ashley’s cottage. The kitchen/living area is absolutely beautiful and suited us as a group of friends when doing breakfast/lunch etc. Our favourite bit of the property has to be the outside area. Having an outdoor shower/toilet, hot tub, kitchen area and bbq just topped off our weekend and we spent most of our time outdoors. A few outdoor games were left in the garden and it gave a good few hours of entertainment for us too! Ashley was super inviting and was very clear with check in instructions etc. The house felt very safe & secure and we all got very good night sleep from comfortable beds. We would love to come back again next year and for years after this!! A really lovely place!

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 had a lovely few days, lots of room in the house, hot tub and games room a bonus, along with the deer in the garden yesterday morning! Many thanks for the welcome pack and milk.

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.

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.

A lovely child-friendly house with a peaceful garden. Well-equipped kitchen, and everything spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful week with two small children (ages 4 and 1). The ground floor has lots of space for toddlers to run around and grownups to relax. Always a joy to see horses meander past the gate with their new foals.

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!

Extremely beautiful cottage in a great location! We stayed at Ivy Cottage for a friend's wedding which was held at Balmer Lawn Hotel, this was perfect as it was a minute walk away from the hotel. Hazel was in constant touch prior to and during our stay, she was super helpful and had lots of recommendations. Check in was easy and painless, the cottage was well supplied and had all the essential you'd need. The personal touches made us feel right as at home, and Hazel was super accommodating by bringing a fan over to due the super warm weather! The garden was lovely and well maintained, perfect little spot for a hot summer's day. Wouldn't hesitate to go back!

We had a great stay, a perfect long weekend. We’ve stayed in Lyndhurst a few times and the cottage was in a perfect location: 3 minute walk to the Main Street and can walk from the house into the new forest easily. We had 2 dogs with us and the garden was great for them and mostly enclosed (gate at the front where medium-large dogs couldn’t get through). Would stay again!

What a beautiful cottage and a truly wonderful garden . Bluebell cottage was so beautifully clean and so well equipped , it was like home from home . The best equipped Airbnb I’ve stayed in . Beds were very comfortable and lovely large towels for the shower . It’s in the most perfect position for walking into Lyndhurst and for visiting the forest . The little extras were a lovely surprise. We stayed four days. Would definitely stay here again . Angela was a great host , thanks for a wonderful stay .

Really beautiful cottage, has everything you need, comfy beds, lovely fluffy towels, lovely walks from the doorstep and a great pub! Back garden could be better but we were out most of the time. Would highly recommend to anyone. Julia is a great host!

Totally exceeded our expectations! Beautiful accommodation in a perfect setting. James was instantly and reassuringly responsive to the few queries we had on arrival which would have been easily answered had we read the Welcome Pack! We really can't thank James & Harriet enough for thinking about the detail and for pre-empting every need. We'll most certainly return!

Sarah’s place was perfect for a family trip to Peppa world! Sarah kindly put up stair gate, bed rail and high chair. The garden is huge and perfect for a child to play in while you get dinner ready or in morning before you head to park. Sarah was super helpful and lovely and will be recommending her house to anyone else I know going to Peppa or Paulton’s

We had a lovely stay and Sumaiya & Richard were great hosts. Lovely little touches for the Christmas period & lovely treats for us when we arrived. The barn was really comfortable & cosy, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. It was very rainy when we were there but with all the books & games we had plenty to do. Thank you!

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.

A great place to stay. Walking distance to markets, transportation and restaurants. The garden in the back was a beautiful peaceful place to sit and relax after exploring all day. The home has all you need to be comfortable and the kitchen is equipped to make a nice meal if you want to eat in.

We spent a wonderful 4 months at this beautiful cottage while our home was being repaired due to flooding. It has been a lovely place to live – I love how it has been decorated and furnished, and will very much miss the amazing bath! It’s a great location; you feel like you’re in the countryside while also having easy access to the local amenities. The local supermarket is a short 2 minute drive and you can be in the heart of the New Forest within 15 mins. It has a lovely big garden with a slide and swing set, which our 3 year old son has very much enjoyed. We’ve had no problem at all with the stairs and our son navigates them confidently, shuffling down on his bum. We’ve had great communication from the owner and checked in with ease. While I’m excited to return home, I’m also a little sad to leave the cottage and will remember our time here fondly.

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!

We had a lovely stay, wonderful place with a fabulous view from the first floor. Susanne responded really quickly to questions, all in all a great place.
