Set in the pretty village of Milford on Sea near Lymington and within the New Forest, this is a lovely spot to escape to with the best of the countryside and the coast right on your doorstep.
With a traditional village green surrounded by independent shops and great places to eat such as Verveine, an award-winning fish restaurant, and Saltwater, a café, bar and restaurant, Milford on Sea is just lovely. It also boasts stunning views over to the Isle of Wight and The Needles and a gorgeous waterfront that's perfect whether you want to sunbathe, swim, or indulge in water sports.
