Practically perfect in every way
Perfect little house, beautifully decorated, ideally situated for village with a range of restaurants, it took us 7 minutes to walk/stroll there. Also great for walks and cycling along seafront and the marshes. No parking at property but we had no problem parking in the adjacent side road.

Beautiful cosy cottage
Rosemary Cottage is beautifully clean and well-equipped. The sofas and beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was lovely and soft. The location is perfect for pottering around the village, going down to the sea, or for exploring the New Forest. There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants, as well as convenience stores and a cute little bakery. Thank you so much for a lovely, relaxing break. We would love to come back.

New Year Retreat
Great property on the edge of Milford on Sea. Property is clean, well equipped and modernly furnished. Short walk (approximately 10 minutes) to the village, seafront, cafe & a couple of pubs. Easy access by car to walks, bike trails etc to be found in the New Forest. Owners were very easy to communicate with. Would happily book cottage again.

Holiday Heaven
The cottage was quaint, really kept in character of the village, with relatable art work throughout. Communication from the owners was superb, no question left unanswered. Having the beds made up and towels provided was a real bonus. Taking autistic teenagers with me, the WiFi was more than adequate for their needs. The stairs were steep but you quickly got used to it. The gift basket was a pleasant surprise. I’d definitely consider booking again, it really was home from home. A cosy cottage near the sea.

Ideal coastal holiday
Property was perfect for us to take teen kids and their friends. Adults had our own lovely bedroom and bathroom and they had a floor to themselves. Tastefully decorated, good shower, comfy beds, everything we needed. Was clean and good quality throughout. Lovely village shops, cafés and amazing bakery. Fabulous sea walks and sea front. Easy access to Bournemouth and New Forest. SUP and ebike rental within walking distance. Loved every minute!

Summer break
We had a very comfortable stay at Rosemary Cottage, it was a great base to explore the coast and the New Forest. A couple of members of the family group did find the stairs a little challenging with only a rope for support.

Perfect short break at Rosemary Cottage
Tastefully decorated with a 'beach hut theme', very comfortable and well equipped. Perfect location for the village, beach and walkers paradise to Keyhaven and Hurst Castle. The bedroom at the top of the house is gorgeous and I loved the window seat with sea views in the distance - very relaxing. I am looking forward to a return visit.

Süßes Cotrage am Rand des New Forest
Wir haben in dem liebevoll eingerichteten Cottage wundervolle 14 Tsge verbracht. Mit dem Auto erreicht man mühelos den New Forest und andere tolle Sehenswürdigkeiten. Highlights: Exbury Gardens, Beaulieu und (für Harry Potter Fans und andere): Lacock. Das Dorf ist fußläufig und bietet kleine Geschäfte, 3 Pubs und den typischen englischen Dorfplatz. Kleines Manko: Der im Inserat angekündigte Wäschetrockner ist ein Wäscheständer. Das war aber im Sommer kein Problem für uns. Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Lovely cottage in Milford on Sea
A lovely place to stay. Tastefully decorated, with a wonderful bedroom in the roof space. The kitchen is the best equipped one we've ever stayed in. Large picnic table in the garden and very useful gas barbecue. Easy access to the shops and beach with lovely walks just down the road.

As 6 adults we had a fantastic stay in Rosemary Cottage. Spotlessly clean and we found the cottage to accommodate us easily. Very well equipped and all very high standard. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a stay close to the beach and forest.

A lovely stay by the sea
A very comfortable, well-equipped cottage, close to the High Street with its shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the sea. A short drive to Lymington and the IOW ferry (made for a lovely day out). The cottage has a shed to store our 4 bikes, and the bike rack, which was great. The owners were very helpful and responsive, and left us a lovely welcome basket. I would definitely recommend it!

New year with friends
Julie and Jeff are the most amazing hosts! As the cottage was cleaned before our arrival day, they told us we could come anytime we liked that day, and on departure day( a bank holiday) as the cleaners won’t be there, we could stay longer. The cottage is lovely, well equipped with everything you need. Milford on sea has pubs,cafes and wine bars. Recommend the Smugglers inn, great food and friendly staff. And only a ten to fifteen minutes walk away. We are already thinking of staying again at Rosemarys cottage. Thank you Julie and Jeff, we enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

Good friends of ours purchased a second home in Lymington and whilst my husband was helping them with the renovation of their property he went on a bike ride and saw the cottage for sale. It was in need of a complete renovation - perfect project! We were lucky enough to purchase in August 2011 and haven't looked back since. We love Milford-on-Sea and the surrounding area. Everyone who stays leaves heartwarming comments in our guest book about the cottage and the area. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay at Rosemary Cottage.
