Rosy Lodge in Lymington offers a well-equipped, comfortable stay with a homely charm. Its proximity to the beach and quiet position within the park are frequently praised. While some guests feel the property could benefit from updates and maintenance, the lodge's spaciousness and the site's amenities contribute to enjoyable stays. The thoughtful touches, such as games and beach gear, add to the experience, although the additional cost for on-site facilities is noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness receives mixed feedback. Some guests found the lodge spotless and comfortable, while others reported issues with cleanliness, such as dog hairs and a need for more thorough cleaning. The majority of reviews, however, lean towards a positive assessment of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to the beach and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the lodge's position on the edge of the park, offering privacy and proximity to nature, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the lodge spacious and the beds comfortable. Some reviews suggest that the furniture and mattresses could be updated, but overall, the lodge is considered cosy and accommodating.
Facilities and maintenance have room for improvement. Guests enjoy the on-site amenities, but some feel that the lodge itself requires renovation and better upkeep. The cost of facility passes is a point of contention, though the available amenities are appreciated when used.
Thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of games, beach equipment, and other extras that enhance the holiday experience. While these touches are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property
A detached timber lodge, quietly situated within the award-winning family-friendly Shorefield Country Park, only 1.5 miles from Milford on Sea on Hampshire's lovely coast. The lodge provides comfortable, open plan holiday accommodation, furnished and equipped with everything you need to create a really pleasant family holiday experience. There's plenty of room for your whole group to relax and dine, whilst the fitted kitchen comes fully equipped to prepare delicious meals and snacks, and a dishwasher to relieve you from the washing up afterwards! Outside is a private decked patio where you can sit out and plan your day's activities. Should you wish to take advantage of the many leisure activities on offer within the park, you can contact the owner to purchase a pass prior to arrival which gives access to the indoor and outdoor pools, gym, restaurant, bar, and seasonal entertainment, as well as play areas for the younger members of your group. Fishermen will love the well-stocked carp lake which is just a minute's walk away, plus there are many opportunities for sea fishing along the coast. When you tire of all on offer within the park, venture out and enjoy a picnic in the nearby New Forest National Park, take the ferry from Lymington to the Isle of Wight, walk the coastal path to Lymington, enjoy the nightlife of Bournemouth or just take your buckets and spades and walk down to the beach at Milford on Sea. Then, after all the excitement, return to your homely lodge for refreshments before you snuggle up in the cosy beds. A comfy holiday base for the whole family to enjoy.

Only other thing, the shower. The fixed head is a bit too near the edge of the bath to stand onder comfortably, personally, I'd prefer the head on the hose, so I can remove it and just spray myself all over. All together though, we were very happy.

Nice to find 8 proper beds and space for dog crate. Liked the Christmas tree and fairy lights. No way could we get 8 round the dining table and the chairs were very heavy. Felt one bathroom between 8 was pushing it but realised to change things would probably mean sacrificing a bedroom. Nice new cooker hob, managed to cook a roast in the oven. Property in need of TLC but suited our needs. Wish it was bit closer to the facilities.
