SPECIAL RATES FOR AUTUMN & WINTER! Gorgeous country cottage in quiet location on the edge of the stunning New Forest, just 1 mile from the beach and close to the New Forest. Oak Tree Cottage is a modern barn conversion, beautifully renovated with wooden flooring, underfloor heating throughout, double-height open plan living area and lovely furnishings. It is a cosy and comfortable base after a day exploring the New Forest and lovely Hampshire/Dorset coastline. Set in open countryside on a private rural lane, it is a peaceful holiday location, but close to popular Lymington and just down the road from the beach at the friendly village Milford on Sea and stunning Keyhaven salt marshes. Start your day with the papers and a coffee outside in your private south facing garden (a real sun trap!) or in the modern kitchen/diner, with doors out on to the patio. After a day of beachcombing, sightseeing or cycling through the forest, sleep well in comfortable beds, between Egyptian cotton sheets. There is a stylish ensuite bedroom with king size bed. Perfect for small families or friends, there's also a twin room, with patio doors on to the garden and another bathroom with shower, bath, heated towel rail and towels. You'll find the kitchen well equipped, an outdoor table, chairs and cushions, for al fresco dining/relaxing. In the cooler months the underfloor heating throughout the whole cottage will keep you warm and toasty after a day exploring. There's a large TV and board games if you fancy an evening in. Please note that the garden is completely secure for your furry friends. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Housekeeping (on request) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Load and start the dishwasher Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys Please take your glass to a recycling facility, thank you.

The accommodation is great. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and well kitted out. The check in was easy too. We’ve enjoyed being so close to both the New Forest and the sea at Milford. Bournemouth is easily accessible for day trips too. ##### Caroline P.

The property was first class, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The location was ideal for us and we used it as a base for trips to hurst castle, IOW etc. We had a small issue with the heating which Emma was able to resolve almost immediately without any fuss. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the new forest! ##### Robert C.

Location is relatively quiet and great for my infant and 3 year old - close to Peppa pig world (!), Various beaches etc. All on 1 level was very practical for us with great showers, well equipped kitchen and garden with BBQ. Very comfy beds and we all slept well. ##### Holly T.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### geraldine l. 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Enjoyable stay but slightly disappointed overall with property. On arrival garden at front side and rear needed attendance untidy and overgrown. Not like photos. No bbq as in picture and details. But Emma did bring one and was helpful with information on area and restaurants. Nice touch her having left us a bottle of Prosecco but only 2 glasses for fizz which we did mention when saying thank you but no more appeared. No draws to put anything away in bedroom just small hanging space. There was a cupboard in hall which was full of spare bedding which could have been utilized for draw space for clothes. There were no instructions for oven, dishwasher etc. no information book in property which I have always found in other properties. ##### geraldine l. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole B. 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Eine klasse Ferienwohnung in toller Umgebung. Die Lage ist perfekt, um sowohl schnell zum Strand, als auch in den Wald für Wanderungen zu gelangen. Wir haben uns wieder sehr wohl gefühlt im schönen New Forest. Ich liebe es dort. Eine kleine Anmerkung muss ich jedoch zur Unterkunft machen. Die Wohnung ist wirklich nett und perfekt aufgeteilt. Leider war bei unserem Aufenthalt das Geschirr, vor allem die Pfannen nich sauber und der Abstellraum und Schrank im Flur voll mit alter Bettwäsche. Schade eigentlich, da der Kontakt zum Vermieter und die Wohnung ansich toll waren. Ein Sonnenschirm für das Frühstück wäre noch super. Trotzdem würde ich wieder kommen und hoffe es war nur eine Ausnahme. ##### Nicole B. Stayed 13 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barbara D. 9 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short stay Nice and clean inside, equipped well. Could not say the same for the outside, very untidy, weeds everywhere, patio area and garden not very well looked after which let the property down. ##### Barbara D. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rossella M., Milton Keynes 30 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great weekend break in the New Forest The cottage was well furnished and comfortable and with everything you need. The garden is a lovely sun trap very secluded and private. We enjoyed horse riding and forest walks too cold to swim but lovely to seat on the benches by the sea with an icecream. Can't wait to be back and explore more soon. ##### Rossella M.
