More information

Just a short stroll from the pebbled beach at Milford on Sea, Columbia House offers far reaching views across The Solent towards the Isle of Wight and The Needles beyond. Recently refurbished throughout and designed with coastal living in mind, the interior has soothing seaside colour schemes and relaxed spaces for the whole family to enjoy.

An open plan living area with floor to ceiling glass doors affords a light, bright space for cooking, dining and seating. A separate snug and games room is a quiet area for children to enjoy, with books, games and PlayStation console. Upstairs there are four stylish bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, and a separate family bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed private paved garden has a raised terrace for al fresco dining with a sea view, a relaxed seating area in the sheltered lower part of the garden with gas barbecue and soothing water feature.

Milford on Sea is a pretty coastal village with an array of independent shops, cafes and pubs centred around the village green. With its own wine bar, micro-brewery and renowned restaurants this vibrant spot has plenty to tempt you during your stay.

The New Forest National Park, with it’s free-roaming ponies, is just a short drive away, as is the Georgian market town of Lymington. From here, you can catch the ferry to the Isle of Wight for an exciting day out, perhaps to visit The Needles themselves! Other local attractions include Hurst Castle and the Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve which can be explored on foot or by bike along the Solent Way. Breath-taking cliff top walks with spectacular views, great beaches and thriving wildlife make this a perfect holiday base.

Please note the property has bunk beds therefore only suitable for a maximum of 6 adults and 2 children. No single sex parties will be accepted.

Reduced Occupancy Discount is offered for 4 guests or less requiring 2 bedrooms or less. Please see Additional section for further details.

Outside

The southerly facing rear garden is fully enclosed and paved. A raised terrace from the living area has a dining set and a canopy for shade. Steps lead down to a more sheltered space, with rattan corner sofa, gas barbecue and water feature.

The local area

With its brightly-coloured beach huts and strolling promenade, this coastal parish is every bit the traditional seaside holiday destination. On a clear day, you’ll be able to gaze all the way to the chalky sea stacks known as the Needles which stand off the Isle of Wight, and under a blanket of twinkling stars on a dark night you’ll see the distant harbour lights of Christchurch, Poole and Bournemouth.

The best thing about Milford on Sea is the ease at which you can swap the fresh sea air of the Solent for the leafy woodland glades of the majestic New Forest, making it the ideal base from which to explore the many wending ways of Hampshire.

One of Milford on Sea’s most popular local walks takes in a sweeping stretch along Hurst Spit between the saltmarshes and mudflats and the sparkling bay waters. The path leads you all the way to the medieval ramparts of Hurst Castle and the brilliant white cylindrical walls of Hurst Point Lighthouse, which was built in the 1860s.

The village green is the centre point of the village surrounded by some lovely cafes, a delicatessaen, a wonderful bakery, butcher, fruit & veg shop, fish & chip shop and newsagents to name a few. There is also a wine bar and micro brewery – both offering take away so as you can enjoy your drink sat on the green and the local pub serving good food – especially popular for their sunday roast !

Whether you’re looking to relax and unwind or roam and explore, you’ll find the best of both worlds when you holiday at Milford on Sea. Have a look at our growing list of Milford on Sea holiday cottages and start planning your seaside escape.
