    Oh dear. I'm so sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Rosy Lodge. All the electrical appliances are PAT tested annually and the Landlords certificate for gas and electric done as required. Shorefield did come as soon as was possible, but I am sorry you were unable to wait for the repair to be completed. There is a gas hob, which can be lit independently, so that hot water can be available, and food heated if required. The previous visitors were staying for the fourth time and had a very enjoyable time, as always, so this was a very unusual and unfortunate situation. The wardrobes do have extra bedding , blankets and a camping cot and highchair,as well as iron, hairdryer, ironing board and clothes airer, which although take up space most people find useful. We do not have any personal belongings there. Shorefield pay all their staff, and we pay their invoices promptly, and I will follow up this complaint.The cleaner is paid by us and usually receives very positive reviews, sometimes 100%. The average review scores are 90%. I shall be contacting Sykes as soon as I return to the UK. Property Owner

The 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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

SHOREFIELD COUNTRY PARK

Milford on Sea 1.5 miles.

A superb family-friendly award-winning holiday park of lodges and caravans, set in 100 acres of landscaped parkland, a super Hampshire location situated between the New Forest and the coast at Milford on Sea. You can take a short walk through the park down to the beach where there are extensive views across to the Isle of Wight and the Needles. The park itself has great entertainment for all ages, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, sauna, gym, tennis courts, crazy golf, and children’s play areas. There are a selection of food and drink options on site, plus a wide programme of evening entertainment. Be sure to pamper yourself at the spa with luxurious treatments at Reflections. Just a short drive takes you to the New Forest National Park, where swathes of heather and woodland are home to wild ponies, deer and cattle. There is lots to do locally, with the attractions of Beaulieu and it’s famous motor museum only a few miles away, and Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park also close by. Within a short drive is the cosmopolitan resort of Bournemouth, with its award-winning golden sands, vibrant shopping centre, and lively night life. Alternatively, take the ferry from nearby Lymington and spend a day exploring the Isle of Wight. In fact there’s so much to do appealing to all tastes and ages a week isn’t nearly long enough!

Note: Max 6 adults plus 2 children.
