Joyful Cottage

Joyful Cottage comes ready for a proper stay. The kitchen has a cooker, range, microwave, dishwasher and all the usual kit, so you can cook or keep things simple. There are two bedrooms—one with a double bed and an ensuite roll-top bath, the other with two singles—plus a second full bathroom with shower. Downstairs, the living spaces include a woodburner and smart TV, and French doors open onto a garden with a summerhouse, seating and a barbecue. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included; one dog stays free, and welcome packs plus doggy extras are provided.

The cottage sits in Lymington, on the Hampshire coast near Milford-on-Sea, close enough to the beach for a short walk and within reach of New Forest trails inland. The village has pubs, restaurants and shops. Nearby attractions include a birdwatching reserve just five minutes away, Hurst Castle (accessible by a coastal walk or ferry from Keyhaven), and cliff-top paths towards Barton-on-Sea. Longer coastal walks link to Lymington and other stretches of the shoreline. There is private parking for one car. No smoking.
