Holiday rentals with lake access in Test Valley District

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

A really nice little lodge on a quiet side, suitable for families with young children

One of the nicest Airbnb’s we have stayed in, beautiful decor and facilitates. Excellent instructions and communications from Jill. Thank you

We visit Pewsey regularly and it’s great to have found Beverley’s place to stay. Fantastic location, close proximity to the centre and all the facilities the 3 of us needed. Beverley was a lovely host and provided us with plenty of information and clear instructions to help us settle in. Will definitely stay again!

This amazing, quirky cottage is in a spectacular setting. The house is lovely and spacious, really comfortable and full of character. The valley it sits in is teeming with wildlife: we saw deer, pheasants, an owl, butterflies and so much more, all only footsteps from the door. It was such a treat. Sam and Mark were wonderful hosts, very unobtrusive but easily contactable and helpful if needed. It was the perfect place to unwind for a few days with the family. We had intended to go for out and about, but instead, we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden, the pond, playing games in front of the log burner, cooking and eating together in the well-equipped, expansive kitchen and generally having a great time. We would love to return another time. Thank you to Sam and Mark for sharing your Enchanted Mill and the lush valley. Missing it already :-)

The lodge was very large & clean. Easily can sleep 8 guests. The large tv was amazing & one in the bed was luxury. the queen bed was very comfortable. The garden is huge & my family came over & we all enjoyed playing outdoor games & the Pool table was a bonus! Great places to walk your dog nearby. Very private & quiet. I wished I could have stayed longer than just a couple of nights. I would definitely like to return again.

Three of us and the dog stayed at David’s cottage and we had a wonderful time. The place was spotless when we entered, it was everything we needed. David was very communicative and helpful. We spent a lot of time in the garden as luckily the weather was in our favour and it was fenced in so the dog could run around with furniture for us to use. The cottage is in a perfect location, off of the main road so it was quiet and peaceful and just down the road from the sandbanks which we visited frequently. I highly recommend anyone interested in staying here I haven’t got a single fault! :)

Lovely stay at Jim's! Had a slight issue with heating but Jim was quick to respond and sort it out. Clean house with good wifi. Would stay again if we visit the area!

My stay at this Airbnb was satisfactory. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The landlord was proactive and helpful, which I really appreciated. Overall, I recommend this Airbnb and would happily stay again!

Lovely tractor house to stay in. Has all the things you’d expect in a studio flat. Not very accessible if you don’t have a car fyi (not a fault of the place at all) but otherwise lovely.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. It was so quiet and peaceful, absolutely lovely walks around the lake where we saw deer and baby geese. The place itself was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We had fresh eggs from Jo and Jay’s chickens, juice, milk and other breakfast bits. The place came with binoculars which we used on our walk around the lake and on our day at Arne. We bumped into Jo who came out of her way to say hello and to ask how everything was. I cannot fault a single thing about our stay, it was exactly what we needed to relax ans detox and we will absolutely be back in the future!

Thank you for welcoming me into your exceptional home. From the moment I arrived you guys made me feel welcome and the property you have is really beautiful and well taken care of. I there for will definitely be coming back 😊 Thank you guys & Take Care Tekel Jarrett

Great location in Gosport in walking distance to many interesting places. Great apartment for our needs with 2 kids and a parent visiting friends in the area.

Sheralee's apartment is in an absolutely perfect location for enjoying a holiday in Sandbanks. The views are so beautiful and peaceful of the harbour from the balcony, bedroom window and living room window. There was everything we needed in the Airbnb and we loved eating dinner on the balcony as well as at the dining table in the living room. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back another time. So lovely that there is such easy access to both the harbour side (we did kayaking there) and the beach side through the Jazz Café entrance to the beach. Also, having the Tesco Express as part of the same building was really handy to buy food from!

Perfect place to get away from a busy life. Alex was amazing with responding if questions were asked. It’s a gorgeous studio flat and feels like you’re at home. Within walking distance for a lot of food options and the beach is right next door.

Lovely stay at Willow Warbler. The estate is beautiful & maintained to a high standard. Very peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed including extra touches like milk, travel cot, washing machine & dishwasher tablets, plenty of cooking equipment, tea bags, oil for cooking etc. There is a nice restaurant & pool on site. We didn’t use the gym as the opening hours weren’t early enough (10-5 so we were out for the day). We travelled with a 9 month old but there looked to be lots of things for older children such as soft play, water sports & play ground. Lots of bird watching to be done. Jane was very good at communicating with us & checking everything was ok. We used the apartment as a base to go out for the day such as to Oxford & Bourton but the apartment is very comfortable if you prefer chilling. Would recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxed break.

What a stunning property, great amenities, private garden and the wider estate was beautiful. Sandra was there to greet us and always available with advise on where to eat locally etc. Sandra allowed us to roam around her gardens and lake, swans, ducks, geese and deer to be found. The two local pubs, both within 10 minute walk were warm and welcoming serving lovely food. The location on the very edge of the New Forest gave is great access to the area. We explored every day and found somewhere new. We would book here again for sure.

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

5 Stars – A Magical Cotswolds Getaway Our family had the absolute best time at Catherine’s beautiful property! From swimming in the pool to watching the friendly farm animals, every moment was unforgettable. The setting is peaceful, the accommodations were spotless and charming, and the entire experience felt like a dream. One of the highlights was chatting with Catherine and her husband about life, travel, and everything in between — they are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely lovely hosts. We left feeling refreshed, connected, and so grateful. Highly recommend this special spot to anyone looking for a magical escape in the Cotswolds.

What a beautiful location, cosy house, comfy beds and great views. The area around the cottage is lovely with a lot of wildlife. Janey is very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay!

This is a truly lovely spot. The barn is spotless and comfortable and had everything we needed. Sophie's care package of breakfast items - milk, eggs, bread, cereal, juice - was most welcome. The barn is within a secure gated plot, and delightfully peaceful: ducks on the lake, deer, alpacas, all as stated, yet only 10 minutes drive on easy roads from central Chichester. Other destinations within easy reach include the Weald and Downland (Repair Shop) museum, Goodwood, and Bosham village. If returning to the area we'd hope to stay here again.

We loved our stay at Red Cottage. It was the perfect place to stay for our group. Jane was incredibly helpful throughout and made great local recommendations. The cottage was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is like a complete hotel room with its own luxurious en suite giving each part of the family somewhere they could relax alone when they wanted that time away from the communal space. We all had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Had a lovely three night stay at Lake Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and our two dogs loved having the enclosed garden to play in. Morning walks around the lake were peaceful due to the secluded nature of the cottage. Would definitely recommend for others. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very well maintained.

A lovely 2 bed AirBnB that was well equipped (including dishwasher and washing machine), comfortable, charming and homely. The host's communication is excellent and friendly and I can heartily recomend staying here. The Smugglers Inn pub is nearby (but not at all noisy) and serves great food. There are a couple of other places to eat/drink in the village that looked very enticing but we didn't get the opportunity to try them. Maybe next time. It's in a great location within a short drive of various attractions and local villages and towns. All in all, a great discovery and I'm sure we'll use this particular AirBnB again.
