Lovely & quaint cottage.

I stayed here with my son over Easter & we loved our mini holiday in the quaint little cottage. Its beautifully presented, is well equiped & had everything we needed. A real home from home.We really appreciated the milk & lovely bscuits, what a treat!The garden is a real bonus, has some lovely seatng areas & is so pretty & very peaceful.Yes the stairs are steep but they've in character with the cottage & we were warned beforehand. If you need the second bedroom please let the owners know before hand, otherwise only the double bed is made up, unfortunate that I didnt!I look forward to another stay.

Charming little cottage

We were very lucky with the weather which helps but we love the area as there is always something to do. The cottage was spotless and has all amenities (apart from washing machine no space ) and there was a very nice cake awaiting us as well as tea ,coffee and milk . Parking was fine on quiet street and the garden is a delight. The owner kindly reminded us about the steep stairs but we managed as we did with downstairs bathroom. Overall highly recommended for a relaxing stay in New Forest.

Excellent cottage

Loved the cottage, so quaint, clean, warm, cosy, it was beautiful. The stairs are a bit scary, but if you take your time and duck you are fine, part and parcel of the cottage. Only downside the 'village' not really there. A car ride to get anywhere, but it didn't spoil it at all. Was so sad to leave the cottage. Beautiful, just loved it. Thank you .

We very much enjoyed our 3-night stay at the cottage. It was spotlessly clean inside with a well-equipped kitchen - handy as we like to cook in the evenings. Lovely garden too. Good location for visiting rivers, coast and New Forest.

Short break away for the family, while I was on a course

Such a cosy little cottage, had everything we need and was a perfect location for the conference I was attending. The area is stunning with lots of local dog walks as we took our Cockapoo with us. The beds were super comfy with beautiful, fresh smelling linen, as listed the stairs, are a little steep, but it adds to the quirkyNess To an old building. We would definitely book a short stay again. The host was very welcoming and had excellent communication.

A wonderful Christmas

James and I spent a wonderful Christmas time at the Sun Cottage. It has everything you can dream of: warm and elegant environment, nice garden, and quiet neighborhood. It is finely refurbished and equipped with the best appliances. The Cottage is in a fantastic location, by the New Forest and only a short stroll from the centre of the lovely Lymington. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Absolutely Brilliant

Just back from a lovely 3 night break with my husband and my dog. Property was lovely and clean, neat, tidy and had everything that we needed. Mick was great, as I only made the booking the day before, he was really helpful. The location was great for both the Forest and coast line. Would definitely go back. The only slight issue we had, was finding the property when we got there, as the adjoining property’s house number is visible, although the house name is on gate, it’s not very clear and could probably do with being replaced. Slightly disappointed on arrival, but more than happy once inside :-)
