Cottage holiday rentals in Colwell Bay

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay in the New Forest! The cottage is equipped everything you need, is located in beautiful surroundings with ample cycling routes nearby, and has a hot tub as an added bonus. Cindy and Lina are super accommodating and attentive hosts. We will most definitely be returning!

The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

Lovely place to stay. You can't tell from pics but it looks over a stable with horses coming and going which is lovely. And the hot tub is great.

Had a great time at the Wisteria Lodge - very clean, hosts were very friendly and was perfect for a quiet getaway from the city. Would recommend!

We had a fab stay, thank you! Hot tub first thing in the morning next to a field of donkeys and ponies catching the morning light - what more could you want?? We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. Family of 4. Kids aged 7 & 9. The outdoor sandpit & play equipment would be more suited to younger kiddies but our two still enjoyed them & they were just happy with the jacuzzi really. The owners were very welcoming and informative. Gave some good recommendations… Esme’s tea rooms in Brockenhurst was one of them. Yum! Best scotch eggs and cake selection ever! Would have given 5 stars, but the decor could do with a little refresh & kitchen equipment was a bit of a mish mash. Bring your own salt and pepper, sugar and tea, too. Hand soap and washing up liquid was provided.

We had a fantastic few days in Godshill, staying with elderly parents and 2 young children. Host was very helpful and let us check-in a bit early, the house is beautiful and has everything you need with perfectly labelled instructions. Very comfortable beds and loved the hot tub and games room! Thoroughly recommend!!!

We had a really great stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook and recommend to others. The location was really perfect for what we wanted. Chrissie is a brilliant host, she has really thought of everything and her instructions were clear. We didn’t need any help so Chrissie left us to enjoy our stay in peace but if we did need anything we were reassured that she would be responsive. Communication was great. Loved the hot tub and wood burner.

Beautiful setting - Neil was always on hand to help - had a wonderful weekend away. Would highly recommend.

Just wonderful. Look no further. So cozy and so clean and so luxurious. The hamper was incredible. We left very early to see the winter solstice at Stonehenge. Perfect location. We will be back. Five adults, a baby and a diff fitted wonderfully. Thank you so much . This is The rolls Royce of airbnb❤️🩶🤍

We had such a wonderful stay, so much so we didn’t want to leave. Hilary was such a welcoming host and the cottage was so beautiful. Our whole family loved the cottage and we definitely want to come back. There’s so much to do in the area too. There’s lots of toys at the cottage for kids, including bath toys and a really cute outdoor kids dining table. Once the kids were in bed it was also so lovely and cosy for the adults. The pianos were also a great touch, we loved playing them and teaching the kids how to play. We would recommend the stay to everyone.

We have just returned from a perfect overnight stay at Rose cottage. It was perfectly equipped, cosy and warm and in the most beautiful setting. Thank you Harriet. We very much hope to come and stay again. Viv and Michelle.

A beautiful cottage, exactly as described and in a truly wonderful location. An immense amount of different walks to enjoy to the sea and the pub in Worth Matravers! Ian is a fantastic host and extremely attentive although we had no need to contact him during our stay other than to say thanks. An ideal cosy location for two and a dog.

We had a lovely stay over Easter, the weather was mixed but the village has everything you need- a few cafes snd pubs, baker, butcher, fishmonger and a couple of coops. Lots of places to walk and visit from the cottage. The off road parking is great but a bit tight for a larger car. The house was spotless, warm and comfortable. Stairs are steep ( common in houses of this age), but my elderly father managed ok. Thanks for a fun break!

The cottage was comfortable and nicely furnished. We loved the rural location which was also in reach of all the attractions the Island has to offer. The bathroom is within the bedroom which wouldn't suit everyone, but fine for us. We would recommend for a peaceful break.

What a stunning cottage! It matched the idyllic location. Decor was simple and comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped and my husband wants to steal the shower. Fresh flowers, a generous fruit bowl and milk made a kind welcome. The peaceful, dog-secure, suntrap garden is great to relax in after long walks on the South Downs with many paths starting from the front door. The George is a friendly pub with good food and drink within 5 minutes stroll. Wagtail Cottage is the perfect place to unwind.

We had a lovely stay at Brushwood Cottage! The moment we arrived, we were in awe of the character and history that this cottage holds. The location is perfect for anyone wanting a quiet getaway with easy access to local attractions. The surrounding countryside is stunning, and we enjoyed exploring the nearby walking trails. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The garden was also a perfect spot for morning coffee and great for our 2 dogs. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into preserving the cottage’s historic charm while making it a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Great little find! Loved the outdoor space where we were able to sit and have food with family. Log burner was lovely in the evening and made it even more cosy. Shower was hot and powerful and the kitchen had everything we needed. Will recommend and will definitely book again

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

Me and my girlfriend loved our stay at Harbour Cottage in Cowes. The living room and kitchen were spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. Easy walking distance from the centre of Cowes and everything we needed for our stay. Host was helpful and always on hand if we needed anything. A lovely stay and would recommend! Abby Barletta

Lovely place to stay, plenty of space. Bedroom an especially nice space. Good bathroom, with advantage of an additional downstairs loo. New Forest was beautiful and the cottage is in a really good spot. Surprising downside, an old fashioned, non smart TV. DVDs were supplied, but this did seem a strange oversight.

A very enjoyable weekend away. The inside is beautifully furnished to suit the old property. The beds are comfy, kitchen well equipped and books, games and interesting bits and bobs make this place a home from home. a breakfast of eggs from the chickens in the garden was a real treat. my children enjoyed the garden and collecting eggs. Lymington town is a pleasant walk if you're able.

Cathia was an incredible host and made me feel so welcome. I was staying with my bridesmaids for my wedding and Cathia made the trip extra special. She is super responsive and her place is beautiful! Thank you so much!

Lucy is a brilliant host, very responsive and friendly too. The cottage is in a great location and it's easy to get to the local shops and restaurants. Parking is easy and the cottage has everything you need and more. It's a lovely place to stay.

Outstanding accommodation, location and service from Lyn. Hope to return soon.
