A beautiful cottage in the heart of the New Forest and a short drive to beaches

April Cottage is a comfortable cosy two bedroomed terrace cottage, set in the middle of the delightful village of Everton with our friendly local shop and pub offering scrumptious local produce.

Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, with only a short drive to the beaches, open forest and the charming market town of Lymington with it’s picturesque town quay, boutique shops and bustling Saturday market. The cottage has a sitting/dining room with a separate kitchen, conservatory and boot room. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one double and one twin) with a shower room. There is a walled garden at the rear and a front garden with gravel parking for 2 cars.

Milford On Sea and Keyhaven is 'just down the road'; offering village shops, beaches, cafe's, pubs and restaurants. By taking a short walk/drive to Keyhaven, you will find a traditional pub and a beautiful walk along the sea wall, enjoying the spectacular views of the Solent, the Needles and Isle of Wight. Bird watchers will particularly enjoy the salt pans and marshes that are renowned for their bird-life. You can take a ferry from Keyhaven harbour to Hurst Castle and if you are feeling energetic you can walk back along shingle bank.

In the other direction is Christchurch and Bournemouth with long golden sandy beaches, theatres, pubs, restaurants and a buzzing nightlife.

Lovely property, a shame the local pub was shut as that was one’s one of the reason we booked it to be able to walk back after a meal and drink.

New Forest Trip
The property was lovely and exceeded all our expectations. A great local pub and fantastic cornershop also came in very handy. The pictures of the property on the website don't do it justice. The garden and house were much bigger than expected. The bed was also super comfy. We had a dog with us and apart from all the great beaches and the forest there is a park around the corner from the house, which is really handy for early morning or last minute walkies.

Beautifully presented cottage in a good location
April cottage Is tastefully decorated with a cosy feel. It had everything we needed and was beautifully clean. A welcome basket of bread coffee tea and milk greeted us. Beds were comfy, with spare throws in cupboards for chilly evenings. The garden was secure and pleasant. The location was great for visiting the beautiful walks of the New Forest and the pub within walking distance was a great bonus. Probably the only one minor downside was check out was at 10 am which for a Sunday meant an early rise to strip all beds, empty rubbish and get breakfast and clean away after, however a small price to pay for a very enjoyable stay

Lovely cottage.
Delightful, cosy, comfy cottage. Sunny garden. Beautifully peaceful. Perfect for 2 or 3 max. 2nd bathroom is a downstairs loo. 3 houses away is a Londis that sells gourmet food! Short drive to beaches, surrounding areas full of beach bars and good restaurants. Very upmarket region. Time for new mattresses in the twin room-a bit uncomfortable. However-it's really lovely. Hosts lovely. We checked in a 12 because we were passing by and it seemed ready, which was fab. Everyone we met was friendly. Book this and a 3 day pottery making course at Vinegar Hill Pottery-a 5 minute drive away.

Cosy, clean and comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay in April cottage. The cottage was more spacious than anticipated and very clean and comfortable. The beds were so comfy! Handy to have a garden for the children to run around in. The shower was the only thing that we would have said needs improving. It was so powerful that it kept popping out of the holder and you couldn’t adjust the power, so we weren’t able to shower the children under it. I’m the absence of a bath, that may have been useful. The location was good. A very quiet little village with a shop and pub. No where much in walking distance, but well located for driving to places. Lymington not far at all and a lovely town. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful cottage but.......
On arrival we found the most beautiful cottage setting in lovely gardens which we found were superb. Interior was lovely and homely. First night was very disappointing 15 tog duvet all round far too hot Got in touch with owners regarding summer duvet but they did not respond to direct message until late in the evening via VRBO saying no, so had to purchase our own. Only one bedside table which was inconvenient. Staying for a week so did a full shop to eat in, unfortunately no cupboard to store groceries so items had to be stored over limited worktop space. Washing machine and dishwasher on together left a nasty stagnant smell from drain in conservatory. Filter in tumble dryer was filthy and needed a thorough clean. Fridge door had mould on outside seal, and we feel that the whole place needed a more thorough clean. On the day of leaving we received a message from the owner informing us that they will be arriving between 9.00-9.30am to cut the grass, we said no because of the dog in the back garden. This we found very annoying as any work should be done after our 10.00am checkout. Overall a lovely holiday was had by all, in the New Forest but will not return to April Cottage and would not recommend.

We enjoyed our short stay in the cottage, which provided most of what we needed to make our stay comfortable. We did have to buy our own kindling and wood so we could make a fire - there's a local shop that sells everything.
