A Riverside Escape Made for Moments That Matter
Tucked away on the banks of the River Hamble in the picturesque village of Bursledon, Myrtle Cottage offers a rare blend of charm, comfort, and waterside adventure. With its own private pontoon and views that stretch across the water, this Grade II listed wisteria-clad cottage is a haven for families and friends looking to reconnect and unwind. Children will love trying their hand at crabbing from the pontoon, with plenty of excitement as they spot their first catch. Enjoy a swim from the lawn, cast a line into the river, or simply relax with a cold drink as the tide gently rolls by.
Experience Myrtle Cottage
Located just over an hour from Southwest London and close to the New Forest, Myrtle Cottage is perfectly placed for both adventure and relaxation. From paddleboarding and boat trips to riverside dining and countryside walks, the best of the south coast is right on your doorstep.
Inside, the cottage combines period features with thoughtful touches – beamed ceilings, open fireplaces, antique furniture, and modern comforts. Kids will love the “secret” bedroom tucked away upstairs, while grown-ups can unwind in the hot tub or by the open fire after a day out exploring.

As the sun sets, gather around the firepit or unwind in the hot tub — an easy, relaxed way to end the day. These are the simple moments that make a stay at Myrtle Cottage feel special.
