Cottage holiday rentals in Freshwater Bay

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.

Amy’s cottage was very cosy! Great location with the Buddle inn nearby for a delicious dinner. The cottage was more than big enough for our family of five and we had a hugely restful and enjoyable stay. We’ll be back!

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. 😊🦌❤️

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery, and again we absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful location. Grant is really helpful.

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!

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

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.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful place. ponies on the doorstep,lovely walks,a few local pubs and village shop.Bliss.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay, all queries were delt with professionally and efficiently. I would thoroughly recommend the accommodation and we intend to return in the near future.

We had a lovely staycation at the summerhouse. It was peaceful, tranquil & relaxing. We found lots of dog walks around & lots of pubs to visit. The summerhouse felt like home to us & our labradoodle. She enjoyed it as much as we did. We will be looking to come back & stay again. It was lovely & just what we needed. Thank you Richard.

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for exploring the New Forest for a couple of days, whilst the very large garden allowed us to chill in the evenings. Very detailed instructions made finding the place and check in easy.

Great location for dog walking. Comfortable and quiet, yet close to Newport.

We used India Cottage as a base whilst we attended the IOW music festival 2025. Although the majority of the time was spent else where, the cottage was absolutely perfect in every way. Simon (the host) was the perfect host. Excellent communication, absolutely flexible on arrival and departure times. The cottage itself is beautiful, and with everything and detail accounted for. We even had a welcome hamper when we arrived. I think apart from the location being perfect, the best part of this property was the sun terrace at the rear of the property, absolutely stunning and with fantastic sea views. The photographs do not do it justice! I would definitely use this property again, I highly recommend it. Thank you Simon for allowing us to share your home 👍🏻

The perfect house for a family gathering - 9 adults and 2 dogs. Spacious, clean, well-equipped house with lots of indoor and outdoor games, room for 9 of us to dine easily, well-equipped kitchen, 2 comfortable sitting rooms, separate annexe with lots of things to do and gym equipment. Beds all very comfortable. The highlight for us on a beautiful sunny weekend was the garden - large grassy area for games and play, mature flowerbeds, 2 large tables, shed full of garden toys. There was also a bbq area and children's outdoor equipment. Jo responded quickly to any messages, but her clear instructions and detailed information meant there were very few questions. She also gave many ideas for walks, restaurants etc.

This is the second time that we have stayed here, and it was exactly as we remembered it. Spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything that we could need. We will definitely be visiting here again.

Lovely stay that we enjoyed with our two little boys. Great living space for everyone and garden for running around. My children especially loved the reading corner! Very friendly hosts and in a great location with a beautiful beach and walks on your doorstep

if you want to stay in a dream chocolate box cottage, this is the place for you! the cottage is beautiful, with stunning gardens in a quiet location. it's near to all attractions with a great view of the sea. a very comfortable stay and I will definitely be booking again in the future! Sylvie was the perfect host, giving ideas of places to visit and always responsive to any questions we had. A lovely stay in a beautiful house!

A lovely cottage, with all the amenities and comfy beds in a great location. We really enjoyed our 5 night stay and, in particular, the view of the sea, watching the boats sail by, the rabbits and pheasants on the lawn, the woodland walk/costal walks, quirky shops at the fort, being on Yarmouth's doorstep, lighting a real fire at night and sleeping peacfully after a day exploring the beautiful Isle of Wight. A big thank you to our hosts for arranging discounted ferry tickets and a lovely welcome pack. We may be back for more of the same!

This cottage was perfect for our stay full of character and with a garden to sit in Claire was a lovely host and met us on arrival there was wine and milk in the fridge just what we needed would highly recommend this place for a holiday

We’ve stayed here before and once again we had a lovely break. Everything we needed for our holiday, a fabulous location and lovely hosts.

From initial booking, arrival to departure Lisa was in touch to make sure everything was ok and set up for us & our grandson on arrival ( bed guard, stair guard & books to read ) . Any questions were responded to quickly and Lisa was really easy to message/chat to about the cottage and local area The cottage was lovely and clean with everything we needed and a few treats waiting for us on arrival. Lyndhurst centre was within easy walking distance ( even for a 4 year old) and we had no problems parking our car on the road near the cottage. We were able to unwind & relax after days out exploring and staying here meant we were within easy reach of most places in the new forest, paultons park, furzey gardens & Beaulieu all within a short drive. We would like to visit again and would definitely book Lisa’s cottage as it was a home from home

A beautiful cottage fully equipped and really comfortable. Nicola was so helpful after we had a car accident with no rush for checking out.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Very well equipped Excellent balanced accommodation Beautiful surroundings Would highly recommend
