Overview
Detached Holiday cottage on the shores of the Solent, Nr. Warsash , Hampshire,
Detached brick built luxury holiday home Unrivalled sea views across the Solent from private gardens and open plan lounge/ dining /kitchen area. Watch the yachts racing, cruise ships and tankers sailing past your window!
The view and location are second to none! Unlike many other holiday homes advertised as sea views we are on the sea shore and the photos are what you see from our holiday home rather than general ones of a location We have breath-taking, uninterrupted panoramic sea views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight stretching from the Napoleonic forts at the eastern end of the Solent, Cowes directly opposite, then down to Newtown Creek in the west Solent This is one of the busiest shipping areas and probably the most famous sailing area of the world!
Always so much to see, day and night: Cruise ships, tankers, tugs, ferrys, huge container ships, lifeboats, hovercraft, dinghys, cruising yachts, racing yachts and racing fleets with their colourful Spinnakers. We provide binoculars! Fantastic sun rises and sun sets. Although we have a new TV with Freeview, its rarely on!
Guests may also make use of the facilities of the adjacent holiday park.
Tennis court ( £10 refundable deposit for the key to the tennis court)
Heated outdoor swimming pool (available during the season May to Sept) with sun loungers and lifeguards for which guests may obtain daily or a weekly pass for a small cost (2016 charges were £60 for a family weekly pass for 2 adults/ 2 children) this also allows guests to use the park club house which also overlooks the Solent and has evening entertainment at weekends.
This is a perfect location for a relaxing holiday watching the boats on the Solent but equally perfect for visiting the many interesting places in the area.
Owners Direct now charge guests a booking fee as well. Please call if you would like to ask more about the property. Pauline 07740644466 / 07715292134

About Pauline Bowdler
Hello Thank you for looking at Solent Shores. A little about us. We are Pauline and Giles and we owned and ran an RYA Sea School, Ocean Adventures Sailing, and spend most of our time away sailing and living on board Quintessence our 42 foot yacht. This year we spent several months sailing down to the Algarve!
My son and daughter in law live a few doors along from Solent Shores and will be on hand to assist you whilst you are staying and are taking care of all the housekeeping and gardening etc.
Pauline Bowdler purchased this cottage in 2006
Why Pauline Bowdler chose Hampshire
Solent Shores was bought in 2006 and has been fully refurbished with a large open plan lounge/dining room/ kitchen to take advantage of the views across the
Solent. We bought it as our holiday home and found we weren't going home! Now we are away so much sailing. Friends who have stayed always hate to leave. New beds in 2015 including top of the range king size waterbed which is incredibly comfortable, supportive and doesn't wallow!! many guests have said they want to take it home!
What makes this cottage unique
The view and location are second to none! Unlike other holiday homes with sea frontage that you may look at, we have a breath-taking, uninterrupted panoramic sea views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight stretching from the Napoleonic forts at the eastern end of the Solent, Cowes directly opposite, then down to Newtown Creek in the west Solent This is one of the busiest shipping areas and probably the most famous sailing area of the
world! Always so much to see, day and night: Cruise ships, tankers, tugs, ferrys, huge container ships, lifeboats, hovercraft, dinghys, cruising yachts, racing yachts and racing fleets with their colourful Spinnakers. We provide binoculars! Fantastic sun rises and sun sets. Although we have a new TV with Freeview, its rarely on!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Wow 100% satisfaction guaranteed what a view what a property
Left on Jul 26, 2016 for a stay in Jul 2016
From the minute we entered it was the wow facture the view accommodation a welcome pack wi fi TV in case we got bored. No way could you get bored here always something going on in the Solent early risers rewarded with famous cruise liners arriving. Very quiet location local shop 1 minute walk away for the basics ample parking space. Bedrooms lounge wash rooms all very generous space. Plenty of outside seats, restaurants main shopping fish & chips just a 10 minute drive away. Plenty of great glorious walks a visit to Warsash is rewarded with ample free yes parking we can recommend the Rising Sun restaurant a main meal and sweet for under £10. The owners Giles & Pauline in touch every 48 hours to check everything OK what more can you ask.

Fantastic for watching the cruise ships pass your door. Property was very high standard, couldn't fault it and will be staying again
Bliss
Absolutely lovely, a very well presented property and perfect for a bit of R and R.
Giles and Pauline should be very proud.
Very comfortable and relaxing
We had a very relaxing comfortable stay lots to look at with amazing views changing every few minutes. The plctures and ornaments made the accomadation very homely.
Most relaxing holiday to have!!!
Location was excellent views and activities over the Solent were fantastic, accomadation couldn't have been any better... Everything you needed was provided, nice touch with coffee/tea chocolates and wine !!!.. Definatly consider returning. We have taken great memories away with us.. Thank you very much Angela and family x
beautiful property
The property is in an excellent position with amazing views over the sea.
It is finished to a very high standard.
Lovely relaxing holiday!
Second visit to this beautifully located property
Our second relaxing stay in this lovely property. The view is incredible and we were lucky enough to see the Harmony of the Seas a couple of times during our stay. The weather was rather inclement but we were very warm and cosy and able to enjoy the changing weather conditions from the comfortable armchair and sofas.
We did find the traffic calmers a little more irritating this year, perhaps because we have a different vehicle which didn't cope with them so well. This tended to influence our decisions whether or not to go off site. However we find the Waitrose at Lock's Heath very convenient and there is a good Chinese takeaway ay Warsash. Nook and Cranny is good for a very nice if slightly expensive meal.
Map
Coast/Beach:
30 Metres from the shores of the Solent, pebble beach can be accessed via slipway in front of property. Stunning walks along the beach or Solent Way to Warsash and Hamble or to the Meon Nature Reserve and Hillhead. Miles of excellent cycle routes through the surrounding farm lanes which have minimal traffic.
email to ask any questions; giles@oceanadventuressailing.com
Travel:
10 miles from Southampton Air Port. 4 miles from the nearest train station. But do recommend traveling by car here as it is down a mile long lane, with speed bumps and a couple miles from the nearest bus route. The mile lane to Solent Shores is used for walking, cycling and horse riding and are 18 speed bumps.
Distances:
2 miles from Warsash and Titchfield village. Take the pink ferry from Warsash across the River Hamble to visit Hamble Village. Excellent shops within 10 minutes drive including Waitrose, M&S and Tesco etc.
small shop on the holiday park for groceries and newspapers.
Outlet shopping at Gunwharf Quay in Portsmouth a great day out with vast range of outlet shops on the waters edge overlooking Portsmouth Harbour and the fantastic Spinnaker Tower
