About this cottage rental
Welcome to April Cottage, a charming retreat steeped in history and warmth, featuring a private seasonal heated swimming pool and a fabulous all-season hot tub. This Grade II listed, cob-built thatched cottage, dating back to 1721, offers a cosy escape in Hordle—nestled between Lymington and Milford on Sea - with New Forest National Park a stones throw away
Step inside to a sunny entrance hall with timber door, leading to a delightful sitting room with exposed beams and a lovely south-facing view of the gardens and pool.
The farmhouse-style kitchen/dining area is fully equipped, with handmade oak units, a spacious table for eight, and a Rayburn range. A stable door opens to the front garden and the heated pool (available May–September).
On the ground floor, a comfortable bedroom with built-in storage opens to the garden courtyard and hot tub. An adjacent fully tiled wet room ensures easy access for all guests.All bedrooms also have their own ensuite bathrooms
A separate utility room offers space for pet beds, laundry, drying facilities, and a separate freezer.
Upstairs, three cosy bedrooms each feature a private en-suite bathroom and plenty of storage.
Outside, enjoy the courtyard with hot tub, a poolside deck with dining table and chairs for eight, and a built-in charcoal BBQ. Soak up the sun on loungers or take a dip in the pool (open May–September).
Conveniently located next to a Budgens store and filling station, April Cottage invites you to unwind and create lasting memories in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Fantastic place for our family get together. Great location on the edge of New Forest, 10 minutes from the sea at Milford, and 5 minutes from big supermarkets in New Milford.The cottage is over 300 years old, so expect low beams and latch doors, but 4 double bedrooms all with en suite were very comfy. We found the ground floor cosy but still big enough to spread out, and with the 2 doors out to the garden the kids just loved indoor/outdoor living, with plenty of space for them to run around outside.The kitchen was great for us as we could all fit round the table but 8 large adults cooking a Sunday lunch might find it bit busy (but there's great pubs in the vicinity, so not sure thats a problem....).And then there is the pool, which is heated enough to be fine for our little ones, but who all fairly soon wanted to warm up in the hot tub, which was just perfect, especially for us adults.The owners were really helpful (not that we needed much help).Overall we had the best time, and would definitely return again.

I booked a mini break for myself and 4 adult children, staying for 3 nights. I have to say April Cottage is a stunning property in a great location. The property is well maintained, clean and has everything you need, a real home from home. It is a real country cottage with oak beams and low ceilings and doorways, which are all clearly marked, just remember to duck! The pool and hot tub were fantastic, they were in use daily, there were even a variety of inflatables which we could use. The garden is great and private, not overlooked at all. I cannot fault the communication with Julia & James, they were excellent with everything. The check in/check out process was easy. The cottage is next door to a petrol station which we didn’t find an issue, if anything it was helpful for groceries and also as a landmark for when we ventured out.Overall an exceptional experience and we most definitely will be booking April Cottage again.Worth every single penny
