Great place to stay. Perfect balance of the benefits of a B&B crossed with the independence and freedom of self catering.
Charlotte is lovely. Attentive and friendly without being at all imposing. She strikes just the right balance of catering for your needs and letting you get on with your stay.
The breakfasts are outstanding. They literally arrived at 0900 on the dot steaming hot. Meaty sausages crispy bacon, sweet tomatoes fresh eggs, rustic bread and local honey. Perfectly cooked.
Charlotte obviously enjoys cooking as the brownies put out on our arrival were chocolate heaven.
The accommodation itself is quirky and cosy. It can get a little cold if the weather drops, but with a blanket and two heaters, quickly becomes cosy. LargeTV and fast internet mean you can watch netflix in the evening if you wanted to.
Bed is ver cosy. Literally didn't want to get out of it to have breakfast, but after a hot shower, glad I did.
Furnishings and fixings high quality and ver clean throughout. Relatively cheap to stay as well.
Overall an enjoyable and relaxed stay.

This was our second stay at Albert Cottage, or simply "the garage" as we affectionately call it. It was just as good as the first time. Freshly baked heart shaped brownies for Valentines weekend were awaiting us when we arrived and the garage was just as we remembered. Cute, cosy and welcoming. The minute we settled on the sofa having a cup of tea and a delicious brownie, we asked ourselves why we had left it a whole year before returning.
The temperature can be easily controlled, the wifi is speedy, the bed is super comfy. We really cannot find fault with Albert Cottage.
The breakfast once again was superb!!! Local produce including honey and the most delicious homemade marmalade and berry conserve.
Charlotte is the perfect hostess. She remembered why we had been in the area for our last visit and I found that very thoughtful and exceptional. The whole family are warm and welcoming and we would like to thank them once again for their hospitality.
In short if you are looking for the perfect combination of privacy, comfort and luxury then look no further. You won't find better!

bigger than it looks in photo`s and now has king size bed. wonderful hosts too. so relaxing, just perfect.

Myself and my partner have just returned from a fabulous stay at the Albert Cottage. I took the other half away for his birthday and what a fantastic choice it was.

Charlotte went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. On arrival she had left chocolate muffins for my boyfriends birthday, which was unexpected but a wonderful gesture. Breakfast was very scrumptious and the accommodation very comfy and cosy.

We shall defiantly be back agin next year.

Great get away from London. Situated 5 miles from the forest bike route entance at brockenhurst and 2.5 miles from the sea it is in the perfect location for natural beauty and a little adventure.
The cottage is a delight and the breakfast is superb, Bikes were loaned to us free of charge making the weekend even more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. Albert Cottage is clean, comfortable and beautifully finished. The hosts are fantastic, so friendly and helpful.
The homemade cookies that we left in the cottage on arrival were yummy!
The breakfast was fantastic!
We walked in to Lymington on the first afternoon and had some drinks by the harbour, we came home via The Wheel Inn at the top of the road, ignore the decor the Thai food is fantastic! We walked back with torches so we could both have a drink.

All in all a really lovely weekend away, we will certainly be back !
