Bursledon · 整套民居 · 3室4床2.0卫 · 可住6人 · Waterfront. River Hamble. Private Pontoon. Hot Tub
With its private pontoon, Myrtle Cottage is where memories will be made. Adults lounging in chairs on the pontoon, in the sun & sipping a cool drink, or children squealing with excitement as they try their hand at crabbing. Or just fish or swim off the lawn. Sunny day BBQ’s using the outdoor kitchen/BBQ facilities, & evenings sitting around the firepit or soaking in the hot tub. Adults & children will just love it. On the south coast, 1hr 20 mins from SW London & very near the New Forest. MYRTLE COTTAGE - EXTERIOR: This beautiful wisteria covered 18C Grade II listed cottage offers a 12m private pontoon accessed directly from the lawn which is available for guests use only. You can bring your own RIB, paddle boards, kayaks etc, or hire them locally. There is a slipway a few 100 meters down the lane and local marina's. The outdoor kitchen/BBQ & dining area has a glass roof which is covered with grape vines for dappled shade. Its facilities include gas & kettle BBQ's; oven; induction hob; dishwasher; 2 fridges, & butler sink with cold water tap. All with uninterrupted views across the pretty flower beds & lawn to the river. At night there is festoon lighting and outdoor ceiling heaters so you can continue to enjoy your dining experience into the evening. ON THE WATER: As it is literally on your doorstep, one of the best things you can do is to get on the water. It's fun and easy! The hiring of canoes, kayaks and paddle boards (SUP) are minutes away. Maybe hire 'Gull', a lovely 15ft classic clinker launch, which seats 8 comfortably, is electrically powered and easily helmed, so bareboat charter if you have boating experience, and if not, a skipper can take you out so you and your party can sit back and relax. They can collect you from Myrtle's pontoon, and drop you back. Take your own picnic & refreshments and head up river (tide permitting) to a stunning tranquil oasis or down river and just watch the activity on the water. Or enjoy cream tea's / platter boards up river on Betsie Jane, a Gentleman's River Launch, and just take in the stunning views. For a true thrill, privately charter a skippered RIB with friends and family, and blast cross the Solent to the Isle of Wight for a waterfront lunch at the amazing The Hut in Colwell Bay, or The George in Yarmouth or The Terrace in Yarmouth. There is also a local pink river taxi that can collect you from our pontoon (tide & operating hours permitting & just say it is Myrtle Cottage, next door to the Jolly Sailor Pub), which can take you down river to the beautiful historic waterfront village Hamble Le Rice. Hamble has some great gastro pubs, cafe's etc . A day trip to the lovely Isle of Wight? There are ferries from Southampton where you can go as foot passenger or take the car, or go by the only remaining passenger service hovercraft in the world (working all year) as a foot passenger from Portsmouth to Ryde. There are also diving, power boat & sailing boat courses available. LAND BASED: Well, there is Peppa Pig World / Paultons Farm; Marwell Zoo; Portsmouth Historic Dockyard where you can visit Nelsons flagships HMS Victory & HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose museum or take a boat tour around Portsmouth Harbour and the Naval Dockyard; Netley Abbey is 13th century and the most complete surviving abbey built by the Cistercian monks in southern England; Royal Victoria Country Park is a 200 acres of mature woodland and grassy parkland, bordering Southampton Water with its shingle beach, and offers coffee shop, miniature train rides plus much more, and Manor Farm which is a working farm where children can feed the animals, amongst other activities. Or maybe walk down the river path with some carrots to feed the donkeys in a local field whilst stopping off for a bite to eat or a drink on route. There are great local eateries within walking distance as well as being an excellent base to visit the beautiful New Forest and surrounding areas. The options are endless and all available locally. The house notes folder at the cottage gives full information and contact details on a huge number of things to do. On booking confirmation, information on directions and things to do will be emailed to you, should you wish to book anything prior to arrival.

This is such a nice place. We have an enjoyable stay and highly recommend. There is plenty of stuffs for adult and child to play. Vicky left wine, milk, bread, butter and ice cream. Thank you so much
This was one of the best places we have ever been so far! The cottage has a charm and character inside-out. The fireplace was so lovely getting all cosy in the evenings. The garden is magical with all the plants and lightings. Jakuzzi is a real treat. We would love to come back in the summer!
We wanted high quality accomodation with a hot tub, waterfront location and a unique character - we searched Southampton area and New Forest and Myrtle Cottage was the one. What a find!! We fell in love with the place and enjoyed every minute of our stay there. Everthing is perfect - quirky but perfect :-) Modern kitchen and bathrooms - quaint and comfy bedrooms. Log fires + central heating - wonderful cosy cottage sitting room and a separate dining room with a wonderful intimate atmosphere - very comfortable and practical antique, beautiful furniture throughout - like stepping back in time but with all mod cons. Outdoor lit gardens with secluded hot tub - one of the best al fresco experiences we have ever had - brilliant bbq/cooking and dining area - access through a gate to steps into the river for a swim - or across the gangplank on to the cottage's own pontoon for a quiet drink on the water or board a boat/paddle board etc We had a wonderful, unforgettable holiday experience !!
Old Bursledon is a stunning and heritage filled small village with 3 pubs (one next door that was in the 1980’S Howards Way television series). All the pubs are within walking distance. Also from the cottage, there is beautiful countryside and river-side walks.
Down river is the Solent which is where you can access the Isle of Wight via water, passenger and car ferry.
As we are deemed a semi rural village, it is best bring a torch if planning to walk to local eateries at night, as street lamps are few and far between.
On the road above the cottage, there are parking bays with a limit of 24/7, limited parking of 4 hours and no return within one hour. This is generally not heavily enforced. Free parking is available about 2 - 3 ½ minutes’ walk away on High Street. Once parked on the lane above the cottage, you can off load your luggage and access the cottage by walking down a series of steps on a public-right-of-way path, which is shared with The Jolly Sailor Pub. There is also access via more of a ‘slope’ pathway. See photos.
