Cottage holiday rentals in Freshwater

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!

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. 😊🦌❤️

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

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!

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.

Fantastic stay iin cosy comfortable house with all amenities, during Round The Island weekend. Right next to the marina and at one end of the high street. Peaceful. Handy to have the carpark at the back of the residence. Warm welcome with biscuits, tea, coffee.

From the warm welcome and the homemade brownies to the clean and spacious interior, Bentley Cottage is the perfect place for a New Forest escape. We are already looking forward to our next time!!

We had the most lovely getaway to Christchurch! This place was everything we wanted - clean, cosy and private. We were able to cook with the very well equipped kitchen and loved the natural light. Mathew was very responsive and friendly too. Would definitely recommend Christchurch as a quieter little spot to stay.

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

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was very pretty and had lots of character and charm- it felt homely too- we loved that it was dog friendly. The local countryside and coast was stunning and easily accessible from the cottage. The hosts were very responsive and friendly-would recommend!!

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.

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 👍🏻

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

We had an amazing time staying at the Bothy with our 2 young children. The grounds are stunning and well looked after in such a peaceful setting, we slept with the windows open and didn’t hear a peep! Extremely comfy beds, luxury towels and all the games you could wish for. Kitchen and bathrooms particularly well decorated with all the amenities you could need. Great communication and hosting, our little boy fed Allies chickens and cuddled the cats and absolutely loved it. So glad we got to stay here and would absolutely recommend to all!

We stayed at the cottage during the week leading up to Easter and absolutely loved our time here. The surrounding landscape along the Yar estuary is so peaceful and full of wildlife, it made having a morning coffee beside the water, listening to all manner of birdsong, our favourite moment of the day. The Kings Manor grounds are gorgeous and we very much appreciated being able to play some tennis on the court by the main house. A welcome basket with goodies, friendly communication and a very uncomplicated check in/out, as well and all the wonderful places to visit on the island made this holiday truly a special experience for us. We would return in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bear Cottage. It was warm and cosy, and had everything we needed for our long weekend. A short walk to Beaulieu and ideally situated for visiting the Motor Museum. We especially enjoyed using the tennis courts (agreed by prior arrangement). Thank you Angy - a wonderful host!

We had a great stay! House exactly as described and great location. Andrew was very helpful and fast communication. Appreciated the extra touches like milk/snacks. Thanks for a lovely stay

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

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

We had the most wonderful stay and Ana was an amazing host. We arrived to a freshly baked sourdough loaf, butter and jam, as well as milk in the fridge. So greatly appreciated after a long drive! The cottage was beautifully clean, well equipped and charming. Great base for exploring the New Forest. Would highly recommend!
