About this house rental

With captivating views across Southampton Water and direct access on to a private foreshore the Boat House offers guests a modern and unique home just a 2 minute walk from the varied shops, pubs and restaurants of Hythe.
Whether you're after a relaxing get-away to sit and watch the turning of the tides and the passing of the ships or a get up and go break to explore the many delights of the New Forest the Boat House is your ideal year-round home from home.
We would love to Welcome children over the age of 12 to The Boat House.
Set on three floors the Boat House makes the most of its stunning views with water facing floor to ceiling windows and doors. (The steps to the third floor double bedroom are steep and not suitable for young children.)

Hythe 'where the forest meets the sea' is conveniently situated to explore the many and varied attractions of the Waterside locality. The New Forest with its free roaming ponies and donkeys is just a 3 mile drive away and the trendy bars and restaurants of Southampton's Town Quay is a 20 minute ferry journey on the Hythe ferry (with its officially recognised the oldest pier train in the world, Guiness Book of Records).

Many guests travel to Hythe to appreciate the arrival and departure of the great cruise liners and mighty cargo ships as they travel to and from the busy Port of Southampton. Throughout the day and night ships of all sizes and types may be seen close at hand as they slip gently past and the ever changing view! Cunards famous QM2 is a regular visitor and her berth is within view just across the water.

For boat lovers a free of charge public slipway is available for launching dinghies and powerboats and short term boat storage is available from Hythe Marina.
The Isle of Wight is approximately 30 minutes away by Hydrofoil or a 60 minute Car Ferry trip (ferries depart hourly from Southampton key which is adjacent to the Hythe Ferry landing jetty).
But why travel? Just relax and watch the birds on the shore and the ships passing by in the ever changing vista from the Boat House.

Our annual trip, the property has had a few upgrades since last year. We had great weather, but even if it's raining the view over Southampton Water is all you really need!

We had a super stay at The Boat House in Hythe. The location is wonderful, right on the water for fabulous views and right next to the town for shopping and eating.

A really unique location in a converted boathouse right on the waterfront. When not out and about we spent a happy time just sitting watching the tide come in and out with loads of bird-life and passing cruise linsers. Right by Waitrose for emergency shopping and very short walk to restaurants

This was our second stay at the Boat House. The location is unbeatable for us. It is a short from family has beautiful views over the water and is a stones throw from all the amenities Hythe offers. On the doorstep are a church, Lidl, Waitrose, Superdrug, pub, post office, restaurants and coffee shops. The house is on three levels with three bathrooms, very convenient for families, and parking is a bonus. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

The Boathouse was an excellent stay. The views of the cruise ships going by was so interesting. Hythe is on your doorstep and we picked up a few things from the local shops. My husband fished from the jetty at front of property and my daughter sat on the balcony and crafted all day. We visited Southamption using the Hythe ferry which was great as we didn’t always need the car. We hope to visit again in the future. The weather was excellent as well.
