Guesthouse holiday rentals in The Solent

We had a lovely short break and it was just what we wanted. The accommodation is well equipped with a lovely view of a garden and horses in a field. There are lots of really nice touches like breakfast ingredients and homemade jams available to use. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area

Anthony was such a welcoming and generous host. The Cartbarn is a delightful - very well designed, immaculate and in the most beautiful and tranquil setting. Having a delicious, cooked-to-order breakfast delivered to the door each morning by Anthony was the icing on the cake!

Another lovely stay at this peaceful, clean and cosy place! Marcus and Susan are great hosts, very friendly. The place is nicely decorated and thoughtfully furnished with interesting reading, comfortable furniture and a full kitchen.

The Owl Lodge is amazing, the location is perfect if you are looking for rest and relaxation. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Thank you Jenny and Pete, we had a wonderful stay. Your accommodation was spotless! You gave us lots of advice. We hope to return! Best wishes from the Ivanov's

My wife and I spent a few days at Liz and David's AirBnb. Lovely secluded place, good pubs nearby reached by walks through the forest. Breakfast provided; great shower. Easy to get everywhere in the New Forest. We would definitely stay again!!

Great place to stay, for us it was ideal for visiting Southampton and my brother who was in hospital near by. Lovely quiet garden was a bonus and a visit from the owners Lovely dog. plus good wifi. We stayed 4 nights and would definitely stay again.

A lovely little cottage to stay in for some peace and quiet. The perfect distance from Winchester where you can appreciate both the City and the countryside. The walks around the town were gorgeous and the house had everything we needed. It was so clean and was beautifully decorated. Could not recommend enough. So good for the price!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the limes it was perfect for what we needed for a much needed break, ros was there to greet us on our arrival and was very welcoming and friendly showing us around and clear instructions on what we needed to know Perfect location for visiting winchester Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful stay in Emily's air BnB in Bosham .It was furnished to a very high standard ,spotless and very pretty with fresh flowers .The location was beautiful and quiet yet walking distance to two great pubs and harbour walks .Highly recommended .We will go again .

We had a lovely stay at deer lodge, Stephanie went above and beyond for my mums 60th. I’d highly recommend end!! A short drive away from Selsey & west wittering beach. One of our highlights was visiting the beautiful bracklesham tea rooms. Thank you so much we had the best time xx

Always very quick to respond to online messages. Parking permit organised for us immediately. Cabin had everything we needed. Bed is slightly tricky to manoeuvre but that is made clear in the listing. Great location. Peaceful and quiet but close to town. Extra touches in kitchen much appreciated (milk, butter etc) Julia thought of everything!

The Cabin was in a fanatic location to explore the new forest and the communication from Tom and Lucy prior to arrival was excellent. On arrival the space was spotlessly clean and all amenities required were to a high standard. The homemade bread and beer in the fridge was a lovely touch. On arrival there was a personal note from Tom and Lucy with local recommendations and the local pubs delivered fantastic food. Communication throughout the stay and on checkout was excellent and gave us confidence on how to leave and check out. The brewery is clearly a nice place to have on your doorstep for a quiet beer when required. Overall a great stay and we will be retuning at some point.

Beautiful, clean and such lovely decor. I always love a host that goes above and beyond and Emma does that and more. Easy check in and lots of lovely extras in the home to make the stay nicer (bread,coffee etc) thanks so much !!

I stayed at the Barn for three days with my parents and toddler. The barn was exactly how it is described and seen in the pictures. It was a lovely open space for dinning and relaxing. Good size rooms and handy having the two bathrooms. Extra touches like the bread, eggs, milk and chocolate was a lovely welcome. The New forest is right on the doorstep! We were able to see the Beautiful Sunset which was a very short walk. There is So much to explore, we will need to come back. Sadie was really good and responsive to my messages and gave great advice about where to go. We had a lovely time. Thank you. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Cosy hideaway in a beautiful and incredibly peaceful location, with horses roaming on the adjacent village green, which was a lovely surprise. Very clean and an extremely comfortable bed! Lots of great touches, such as the pots of yoghurt, granola and honey. The garden is small but stunning, and the village couldn't be prettier, with a friendly pub over the road. Great hosts who always answered queries quickly. EV charging was a useful bonus too. Highly recommended!

We had such a memorable experience staying here — just myself and my three boys aged 7, 12, and 13. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel completely at home. Marley was incredibly friendly with a great sense of humour that had us all laughing and relaxed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and ideal for a family. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into making sure guests feel welcome. The boys didn’t even miss their devices — they were too busy learning and soaking up the experience. Some of our highlights were watching the red kites feed, spotting deer, and seeing badgers feeding — all made even more special by Marley and Fred, who patiently and enthusiastically educated us along the way. The boys gained so much from it, and it was a joy to see them so engaged and curious. We loved it so much we even tried to stay an extra night! Truly a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable place to stay with kids — we’ll treasure the memories

Beautiful spot in the countryside! Would highly recommend it to anyone!

We loved this beautiful, well designed and peaceful annex. The sunny garden was a delight, with nectar laden flowers and a stunning wild flower patch that attracted bees and other pollinators, butterflies and birds. The outside table and chairs were in the sun for hours so we could eat breakfast outside and sit well into the evening. The bed is very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Using our netflix and BBC iPlayer logins, straightforward. A much appreciated addition was the provision of hair conditioner ( which we’ve found no longer provided in many places). We were touring on our bikes and able to store them safely in the owner’s garage. The stunning beach is a 15-20 minutes walk. Bus stops to Chichester, at the end of the road. We had such a lovely 4 nights here, we’ll come again.

We absolutely loved our stay. The garden room was exactly as Susie had described. It was so peaceful and quiet, and it really was a very short walk to the local shops and to the beach. We would definitely visit again. Susie was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Susie and Andrew

This was our second stay at Lynne and Andy and Just like last time we really enjoyed it! The annexe and their beautiful garden is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The kids loved the fish and were over the moon when Andy even set up a kiddy pool for them! Lynne and Andy are lovely hosts who have great recommendations (e.g. for a Chinese takeout on our first night when we were arriving later than expected, or for nearby farms to explore with the kids) and are always easy to get in touch with without being intrusive at all. We could even pick some lettuce from their kitchen garden for dinner! We'd love to stay at their place again and can definitely recommend staying there!

A stunning home from home. Gorgeous countryside all around and a lovely enclosed private garden. The barn is beautifully decorated, with really personal touches. Breakfast and essentials provided. Comfortable and just a total delight. Anna was helpful, responsive and courteous at all times. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This 2 day trip surpassed our expectations! Beautiful accommodation in the most wonderful location. We loved the area and the walks around it. Sarah and Shawn were fantastic hosts, really friendly and gave us top tips. Walk to the local pub was a brisk 30 minute walk away across the picturesque new forest. I am already planning to come back and have recommended to my friends for their short break.

Practically perfect in every way A delightful stay - The Cabin is brilliantly designed - great care has obviously gone into making it a comfortable place with every amenity that one would need It’s less than a minute to the beach and the hosts - Mika and Sarah are very responsive and communicative, ideal hosts Loved the place and we’ll definitely be back (ps - title of the review is accurate but also a deliberate reference to Mary Poppins, the film which Sarah referred to in our first conversation as we arrived 😁)
