This is a gem of a place . The location is phenomenal. The garden is exquisite with beautiful flowers and seating areas all looking over the tranquil river Hamble. You can sit and watch the world go by . The cottage is small but beautiful . Cannot recommend enough

We’ve just returned from a long weekend at Myrtle Cottage, we’ve had a fabulous time.It is one of the ‘loveliest’ AirBNB’s that we have stayed in.The cottage has everything you need.From crisp bedding in all rooms to a dishwasher in the outside kitchen!We were so lucky with the weather, we spent most of our time in the outside space.We rented a boat with a skipper that picked us up from the private pontoon.Do not hesitate to book

The property is beautiful both inside and out. The garden overlooking the harbour is the highlight. Lots of places to sit and relax, the hot tub is great and the outside kitchen as good as any indoor kitchen! Bedrooms are lovely and the bathrooms are modern and stylish. We all had a fabulous stay and would definitely return

A unique place - beautiful lawned garden, waterfront location, hot tub, amazing outdoor hosting space (fridges, oven, bbq options, outside lighting and heaters, long table and as many as ten seats around), two dining tables within.Bedrooms were great. We came with out two children. 2 good doubles (one with ensuite) and our 4 year old loved her 'secret room' with the small door and eaves ceiling (which was fine for us to climb into). Showers were great.We hope to return.

KITCHEN

The kitchen is the heart of the home, centred around a rustic old pine breakfast table with seating for six.

It’s fully equipped with everything you need, including an induction hob, two ovens, dishwasher, tall fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and a TV – ideal for relaxed family mornings. For those who enjoy cooking, as well as fresh herbs in the garden, there are even complimentary herbs, spices, oils and vinegars (Cayenne Pepper, Cinnamon, Ground Coriander, Coriander Seeds, Chinese 5 Spice, Crushed Chillies, Ground Cumin, Cumin Seeds, Curry Powder, Dill, Fennel Seeds, Garam Masala, Ground Ginger, Mixed Herbs, Paprika, Oregano, Smoked Paprika & Turmeric, as well as Shaoxing Wine, White & Red Wine Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil and Soy Sauce).

sitting room

The sitting room is the perfect  cosy retreat after a long day.

With two large three-seater sofas and tapestry-covered armchairs, perfect for curling up by the open fire or enjoying a movie night on the TV. The dining room adds a touch of elegance, featuring a fruitwood table that comfortably seats six, set beside an original inglenook fireplace.

Accommodation

One of the most enchanting features is the children’s ‘secret’ bedroom.

A much-loved favourite in the village. Tucked behind a tiny 1-metre-high doorway, it has a beamed, sloping ceiling and a storybook feel that children adore – they often never want to leave!

Upstairs are 3 double bedrooms (king, double and twin beds), all beds are dressed in crisp white Egyptian cotton linen, promising a restful night’s sleep. Fluffy bathroom towels and swimming towels, hair dryers, and fans are also provided for your comfort.

BATHROOMS

Our bathrooms are stocked with luxury hotel toiletries.

Made in Britain, eco and vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and packaged in 100% recycled ‘Prevent Ocean Plastic’ bottles.

For quiet moments or rainy days, you’ll find books, board games, and a small selection of children’s toys to keep everyone entertained

Myrtle Cottage truly is a fairy tale retreat in a magical riverside setting – loved by both children and adults alike, and a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
