Vacation rentals with lake access in New Forest District

We stayed for a long weekend as a family of 3 with our dog. The accommodation was comfortable and had every we needed. The site was all we needed and used the onsite bar/restaurant, swimming pool and shop. The site staff recommended a woodland walk and provided directions which took us in Milford on Sea and was a lovely walk. Samantha was very responsive to any queries we had. Will definitely be visiting again.

We absolutely loved the enchanted mill, it is located in a lovely secluded location, overlooking a small lake. The host was super friendly, check in was simple and the beds were very comfortable. The mill was so quirky and immaculately clean. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely stay, the house was very comfortable, had a good atmosphere and the host was very accommodating.

Lovely stay at Jim's! Had a slight issue with heating but Jim was quick to respond and sort it out. Clean house with good wifi. Would stay again if we visit the area!

We had a wonderful NewYears stay at the dolls house, Victoria is a great host, very responsive. The bathrooms are better than a five star hotel, the beds are comfortable, no trouble sleeping, even though you are in the town, it is quiet. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs, all of which are a very short distance away. It was the perfect place to stay! The only downside was the lock box, very difficult to get too. I really want to stress though, this is no fault of Victoria’s, the rules of a grade listed building state the lockbox can’t be near the door. Unfortunately for us Victoria was away when we stayed, so was unable to let us in, she really worried about that, but it was just one of those things. We are already talking about going back again, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you Victoria, we really appreciate all your hard work!

A lovely, relaxing couple of nights stay. The Coach House has all you need, is warm and cosy and very comfortable. The beds are super comfy and the duvets really warm and cosy. The garden is very private and a lovely feature, and for anyone staying in warmer weather has everything you need to spend plenty of time outdoors. If you're looking to keep your steps up, try a walk round the lakes, lots of bird life, very interesting. The lighting system took a bit of getting used to but is very ambiant and well thought out. The kitchen has plenty of space so you can cook and chat. It would have been good if the oven had worked but we were told about this beforehand and provided with an airfryer so could work around this quite easily. The host was always quick to respond, kept in touch and made our stay very easy. I would recommend The Coach House for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. All the quirky little touches make The Coach House quite unique and we would definately return.

My partner, our dog, and I stayed here over the weekend for a short city break from London, and we had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. Sophie is a fantastic host, friendly and accommodating! The house is set in a peaceful location, perfect for walks, and just a 30-minute stroll from the charming little town. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend it!

Wonderful family stay for New Year’s Eve. We stayed for two nights and loved it. Beautiful accommodation, clean, exactly as described, great communication from host, who also went out of their way, to provide stair gate and high chair. Felt very secure, with gated entry, would definitely return and recommend

We stayed fir three nights in Forget-me -Not, which was peaceful, well-equipped and very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for us to be with nature and there were some great nature walks from the door. RSPB Arne is only a short drive away, as is Wareham, which has lots of great local amenities. Jay and Jo were friendly hosts and we had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay, including a little welcoming breakfast basket. We loved the views across the lake and we'll definitely be back for a spring break next year. I'd highly recommend this little gem.

I stayed for a month in Rachel's place as I moved back from abroad and needed a base to get settled back from. Rachel was a great host and always there for support, she even gifted me some homemade flapjacks during my stay The property was exactly as pictured if not slightly bigger, the location was easy to find. You very much feel like you're out in the countryside in Bishop Sutton and the lake is 10 minutes away and it's a lovely walk.

Thank you Laura for hosting us at such short notice after our original booking was cancelled last minute. You found us a beautiful place, it was ready for us so quickly and was even more lovely than our original booking. The owner was very friendly, also. It is such a beautiful home, with an outdoor space, a big bed in the main bedroom, beautifully furnished and quiet! We are so grateful to have found your place and will recommend Laura and the property to anyone we know travelling to Arundel. Thanks again.

Only stayed the one night but perfect base for visiting Portsmouth historic dockyard and museums. Clean and tidy apartment. thank you

Nice place for vacation, but need bath mat otherwise slepary if possible electric hob for minimum sustainable cooking

My husband and I are Airbnb super host in the US. We have stayed at many Airbnb‘s around the world. Frank and Annabel’s place was one of the best we’ve stayed at. They were over-the-top, friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We definitely hope to stay here again sometime!

Lovely apartment within walking distance of great restaurants and easy access to public transport to Bournemouth and other surrounding areas if needed. Very accommodating host, was eager to help us out and personalise our visit, would 100% stay again

Geoff was the perfect host and we had everything we needed during the stay. The apartment is tastefully decorated and well-stocked - including with some delicious home-made muesli and biscuits - thank you Geoff! It has all the convenience of being situated next to a really handy retail park whilst also backing onto peaceful greenery and a lovely lake which you overlook from the leafy balcony - this was a really nice surprise! The apartment is modern and well-laid out and feels really safe and secure. We'd definitely stay there again. Highly recommended!

Excellent! As soon as we walked in the door, it felt like home. Loved all the little touches. Thank you! Would definitely visit again.

We had a lovely stay over the new year at this beautiful property. We were warm and comfortable and the cottage is finished to an extremely high standard throughout. Huge lounge with a fireplace and loads of sofa seating. Kitchen/diner is bright and airy with large lantern roof light and underfloor heating. Dining table with seating for six. All the kitchen appliances and equipment you could possibly need. Bedrooms have king size beds and loads of wardrobe space and two of them have patio doors opening to the outside. Jacqueline was very welcoming and provided bread and milk prior to our arrival, along with some lovely treats. She responded quickly to any queries we had, and could not have been more accommodating. Cottage is very private despite being adjacent to a larger house. Plenty of parking available. Only a couple of minutes’ drive into Chew Magna, or a 10-15 minute walk. A nice village with three pubs, a coffee shop and a convenience store. We would definitely come again.

We were made to feel very welcome and relaxed on arrival. Lovely cottage, prepared and ready for us with extra trimmings. Such a tranquil place and well looked after grounds. The lake setting and wildlife was beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and Janey looked after us well. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to stay - close to walks around Dorney Lake and the river. We ate at the Palmers Arms one night which was a 3 min walk away very convenient and pleasant. lots of room inside the place and a massive outside garden.

Immaculate, cosy retreat, easy walking distance to the coastal paths and nature reserves. The whole house, but particularly the kitchen, was really well equipped. Lots of lovely little touches that made it feel like a home, for example having a throw folded on the sofa ready to snuggle up with in the evenings. Very comfy beds. Fantastic wet room bathroom. Felt really cosy, quiet and private.

What a beautiful place to escape to. Very relaxing and comfortable. Immediately felt at home. The outdoor seating areas are particularly charming, with the sauna and ice bath. But also steps nearby at the old mill directly into the sea. Being able to wake up and lay in bed looking at the sea was an added treat!! Lovely town to walk into with some good restaurants and a great little convenience store that was amazingly well stocked. Nigel was very responsive and informative.

The accommodation was lovely and beautiful surroundings. Fran was really lovely and great with her recommendations. We drove to The Plough in Wrington and the food was lovely. Had an easy and beautiful drive to Cheddar Gorge also.

Perfect comfortable one bedroom accommodation for us and our dog. Peaceful location, with a lovely walk along the river into Wareham for places to eat. Recommend The Horse and Groom, great food, dog friendly.
