Milford on Sea is a popular and quaint seaside village with a superb range of independent shops, and pubs which are open all year round. There are several restaurants catering for all culinary tastes, including Italian,Indian, Thai and traditional food. Award winning Verviene fish market restaurant offers fine dining and we would recommend booking in advance. Walking out of the cottage and round to the High street is the newly refurbished Saltwater Cafe .Additionally a few paces further into the village, there is the award winning Smugglers Inn, The Cave ,Hurst on the Hill and Rays Italian to mention just a few. There are various events held on the village green and these prove extremely popular.
Milford on Sea boasts a fabulous stone and sand beach just a 5 minutes walk from the property, with spectacular views across the Solent including panoramic views of The Needles, Isle of Wight and Christchurch Bay. Take picturesque walks towards Hordle Cliff, Keyhaven and Hurst Castle or just relax and enjoy the beach and a summer swim. A further 10 minutes walk leads to the stunning Keyhaven and nature reserve, including a idyllic bridge for children to go crabbing and fishing.
Further take a 10 minute drive into the New Forest National Park and enjoy a range of stunning walks, cycle rides or horse riding whilst exploring the pretty villages of Brockenhurst, Burley, Beaulieu, Sway and Lyndhurst. Lymington; the main town including high street shops and our beautiful Quay and marina is well worth a visit .

A fantastic 2 bed property
Really clean, tidy, well equipped property. We only stayed 2 nights and weren't in the property for long but it was perfect for our base in the New Forest. Milton is very well equipped with some excellent restaurants. We ate at Rays and The Cave and both were 10/10 with a warm and friendly welcome. Not so the Lazy Lion where the service was so bad we left after 5 mins. Overall, would thoroughly recommend this holiday cottage

Fabulous property in great location
We loved our stay at Seashell Cottage. Communication with Karen and Neil was excellent. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay. The town had plenty of places to eat and drink and all within 15 minutes walk. Our favourite was the Lighthouse café on the sea front. Couldn't fault this property, would definitely recommend.

Great cottage in a lovely town
The cottage in in the middle of Milford on Sea and easily accessible to the shops and restaurants. The car park is tight to get into especially if you have a large car. The cottage itself is exceptionally clean and well cared for -and we are fussy! The sofas and beds are good quality and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There is a small garden for relaxing in. Karen was always on hand and very helpful. a perfect host.
