Relaxing Easter
Posted Apr. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was our second holiday here and it was just as good as the first. We spent a lot of time reading in the lounge, watching the tide come in and out, and the shipping on the Southampton Water.
The house is as described, but much better than the pictures can show. It is very comfortable with plenty of seating for six people, both in the lounge and the dining area. The galley kitchen is narrow, but perfectly functional. The stairs to the top bedroom are a bit steep, but there are sturdy handrails on either side.
There is the Waitrose store on the other side of the road, along with a small shopping centre and the pier, with its miniature electric railway, and the ferry to Southampton. The New Forest is about a five minute drive away.
The owner was very helpful and booking the property was quick and efficient.
We hope to return before too long.

The Boat House, Hythe
Posted Oct. 16, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful stay in the Boat House visiting family in the area. The location cannot be beaten. It was delightful watching sunsets and sunrises over the water and seeing the tide come in and go out. The house is steps away from all the shops and amenities in Hythe. No need to drive anywhere if you don’t want to. The house was very comfortable for our family of four. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. One of the best VRBO homes I have stayed in.

Loved it
Posted Oct. 4, 2023 on HomeAwayWe really loved this property, it was great accommodation, set in an absolutely lovely location. Set right next to the estuary, I was able to paddle board directly off the properties jetty. Fabulous views of estuary, passing cruise liners and the IOW ferries, we were lucky with the weather and eat outside on the balcony most nights. Five minute from the town with it’s restaurants, takeaways, chippy and pubs, local ferry to Southampton too. At risk of making it more difficult to book because of it’s popularity, we would highly recommend this lovely property.

enjoyable
Posted Sep. 3, 2023 on HomeAwaylovely location for watching cruise ships and others entering and leaving Southampton. Shops only short walk. The property exceeded our expectations. All in all a lovely holiday with the New forest and coast close at hand.
