Bailey Cottage is a charming four-bedroom retreat in the village of Bursledon, converted from an 18th-century boatbuilder’s home. Sleeping ten guests and welcoming one dog, it’s perfectly placed for exploring the South Coast, with local pubs, shops, riverside walks and the beach nearby, plus easy access to Southampton, the New Forest and the South Downs.
Inside, a bright open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings and a wood burner forms the heart of the home, complemented by a modern kitchen and welcome hamper. There’s also a cosy sitting room with open fire, a snug library area and a well-equipped games room for all ages. Outside, a private patio with seating and a hot tub offers a relaxing spot to unwind.
The first floor features two super-king-size bedrooms and a twin, along with a family bathroom and an en-suite, while the top floor provides a flexible twin or double bedroom ideal for younger guests. With beaches, water sports, family attractions and beautiful countryside close by, Bailey Cottage is an ideal base for a memorable Hampshire getaway.
