This property has very steep stairs to the entrance so not suitable for everyone, once inside it's lovely. We put the radiators on and it was then nice and warm. Powerful shower. Breakfast is provided in the room which was lovely, croissants, cereals fruit and yoghurt, tea coffee making facilities available. When we requested more milk it was available. We were staying for the pottery day so location absolutely perfect.

We walked into Milford on Sea in less than 10 mins, we didn't have much of a look around as it was raining so just went for dinner at Rays Italian, it was lovely food, good service, slightly on the pricier side but we did have a sharing starter, 2mains, a desert, cheeseboard and a bottle of wine. We booked and would recommend this as it was full midweek.

27th February 2024:

Wonderful stay, good location and excellent accommodation. Couldn't do enough for us.

Location is good for walking, with a village (Milford on sea)just walk away and good cliff/beach not far with a view over looking the needles. Village has good pubs at one of which, (the lazy lion) we had a Sunday roast well worth a visit. We also had fish and chips from the local chip shop (Mr Pinks). There is also loads of other cafes and even a Thai which I have been told is highly recommend. We ourselves where on site, at the pottery on a three day Raku firing course which was amazing can't even begin to tell you how much fun we had. So time to explore further just didn't happen for us, would we go back and do it again. ITS A DEFINITE ,YES FROM US.

Would Recommend: Yes

Visited The Hayloft on the recommendation of someone who had previously stayed there. It lived up to all expectations. The breakfast was great!! Generous amounts and the coffees etc were replenished between the two nights of our stay which was much appreciated (and doesn't always happen at some establishments). Many thanks

A walk out to Hurst Castle is a must. Lymington's worth a trip. Milford on Sea is a lovely place to walk around, it feels like a thriving village! The Lighthouse and the Lazy Lion were tried and tested - great food and really friendly staff. Sunday lunch at the Lazy Lion was excellent, but you need to book even in February.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th February 2024:

It was lovely and a perfect stay. I only have such a minor point-and one I suspect you won’t be interested in but just to explain the ‘4’ for facilities: no TV. Not a huge deal especially since a great radio is provided-but quite nice to be able to catch up on news at night on a tv.

Verveine Fishmarket Restaurant The Cave Your pottery and courses!

Would Recommend: Yes

5th February 2024:

After a great day on the 1 day pottery course, we stayed in the Hayloft at Vinegar Hill. The accommodation was lovely and only a short walk to the beach, pubs and local restaurants. Breakfast included the next day was great too! We would happily stay again.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th January 2024:

Fabulous hosts - this is my second visit for one of their courses. Stayed comfortably up in the Hayloft which is a few yards from the pottery studio which means extra time on the wheel. Food is amazing and caters for all needs (vegetarian , vegan, gluten free). Went home several pounds heavier. Would be nice to have a TV. Internet access variable.

Walked down to the beach and along the seafront every day after the classes finished, to unwind and watch the waves, even in winter.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st January 2024:

We are a family of 3 and had a super stay in the Garden Room. Great location, good walks. Good quality breakfast produce. Plenty of space for the 3 of us. Much better than a hotel room. Lucy and Dave very friendly and accommodating. Would like to visit again in the summer months. Well Recommend.

Have a torch if walking home in the dark.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th November 2023:

Helen and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Hayloft. It was cosy and very well supplied with everything we needed. Breakfast was a lovely surprise and was excellent. We both felt very much at home and we were made very welcome by Dave. I would love to know how you made the towels smell so wonderful. Please do get in touch to share this as we run an air b n b as well. Thanks. Andre and Helen.

The Lazy Lion in town proved an excellent establishment for food. The service was super and all the staff were extremely friendly. Lymington is worth a visit as it has an excellent selection of small independent shops as well as an interesting marina to explore.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly and welcoming place. We felt totally at home in the cozy garden suite.

Beach and village so easy to walk to.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd October 2023:

I had a wonderful stay at Vinegar Hill Pottery! Rosie the caravan was clean and comfortable, with antique charm that made for a magical visit. My only regret was that I didn't have time for a pottery class.

The beachfront at Milford on Sea is lovely; if you can, make time for a tour of Highcliffe Castle.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th October 2023:

Lucy and Dave are great hosts I stayed in Rosie a very unique experience and a life long ambition. It was lovely to hear about her history and explore her. My friends stayed in the Garden Room which is more of a suite and beautifully presented. The continental breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

We did a one day pottery course run by Dave which was great fun and highly recommended the lunch was also fabulous. In the evening we went to one of the many places to eat in Milford on Sea. The beach is also within walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th October 2023:

David and Lucy were great hosts. We really enjoyed our stay. David was very knowledgeable on the local area and gave helpful advice on swimming and food places.

Can walk from the accommodation week long uu

27th September 2023:

Rosie the Showmans caravan was lovely, warm and cosy. Quite an experience. The breakfast was perfect.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2023:

The welcome was warm. The explanation on what we had in the room was informative and incredibly useful. The information about the local restaurants was all available. As a trainer the instructions given by Dave were crystal clear and helped a novice create a piece of pottery of sorts which he is incredibly pleased with and appreciates the efforts that go into making items and skills involved.

There are a number of excellent places to visit in Milford on Sea. We sampled and recommend Mr Pinks the fish and chip shop and Rays the Italian we had take aways both nights and ate them in "The washroom" a micro brewery which provides plates, knives and forks for their customers. We sampled the real ale on offer but they do have other drinks. This bar is child and dog friendly, is welcoming and full of locals who are happy to advise on things to do in the surrounding area. We booked a table the second night and highly recommend a visit. The bus service to Lymington and Bournemouth is easy. Lymington Market on a Saturday is well worth a visit as are the shops.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hurst Castle a must to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2023:

We had a absolutely fabulous stay in Rosie. Fulfilling a long-term dream,What can i say it didn't disappoint. Rosie is a beautiful waggon in a beautiful part of the country, thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh yes and not forgetting the perfect hosts too 😂x

We ate at Ray's itatian which was excellent and also reasonably priced. There are other restaurants,pubs, cafés and even a fish and chip shop.

Great location for beach walks or nature reserve.

22nd July 2023:

Lovely owners, helpful and friendly, breakfast brought with a smile, and you feel like you’re on holiday from the moment you arrive. The room above is quite noisy if people are staying there, but didn’t detract from our lovely stay.

The Lighthouse restaurant on the seafront is lovely, and Milford on Sea village is pretty, and is close to Vinegar Hill.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2023:

Friendly owners. We loved the hayloft room. Access was via a steep, external spiral staircase. All was good, and there was a radio, but a tv in the room would have been nice.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2023:

I had a lovely few days at Vingar Hill. The Showman’s Wagon was very comfortable and a charming place to stay. Breakfast was very generous!

The restaurants were lovely (We went for tapas, Italian and Indian) but get busy at the weekend so it’s worth booking in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th July 2023:

The hayloft was great! We had booked to do the raku course, being able to stay on the pottery meant we could do extra hours on the wheel in the evenings. Our room was super clean and bright, the bed was comfy & brekky was delish every morning. Dave & Lucy were brilliant hosts. I would not hesitate to recommend. & hope to come back again in the future!

The hayloft was a 7 min walk into Milford where there are lots of nice pubs and restaurants. We did mr pinks fish and chips, rays Italian & had a drink at the micro brewery where you can order a takeaway to eat with your beer. Would suggest booking restaurants over the weekend!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th July 2023:

Very highly recommend staying here, it’s in a great central location. A short walk to the sea front. Beautiful surroundings and accommodation. Breakfast is lovely and friendly and attentive service, not sure why you’d book anywhere else in the area?

The pottery is on the premises, Dave is extremely knowledgeable and can have you making decent pots by the end of the day! Also a nice gallery/ shop selling beautifully made wares from the pottery. New forest is close by if you want to get close to nature. Lymington is also a town over. There are some nice places to eat of an evening within Milford, a short walk away.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2023:

Had a fabulous few days. Did the 3 day pottery course which was brilliant, will definitely think about another course later in the year to hone my skills. The food provided for lunch was delicious, made by Miranda a local lady, who catered for all dietary needs. Dave not only taught us how to use a pottery wheel with great patience, he was up early providing a good breakfast to start the day. I stayed in Rosie a beautiful old gypsy wagon. Really lovely with a private wet room. I will be recommending it to my friends.

Take glasses to the Green for wine bought at the tapas bar. We had tapas and had to pay restaurant prices for the wine!! Delicious food there and at the local Thai.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2023:

You were ready to accommodate us at the last moment and all our needs were met with bells on. 'Rosy' the showman caravan, the courtyard and the facilities are impeccable. You gave us a 5 michelin-star level breakfast and we got to use your lovely crockery. The attention to detail is outstanding. You're fantastic hosts, making us feel very welcome, letting us come and go as we please. It almost felt like we'd known you for years - we'll be back :)

The walk to the village we took is about 10mins, up from the pottery, mostly down a slope but along a lovely shaded road - with no pavement for most of it. We arrived in the evening and found the 'Smugglers Inn' at the end of the high street. It has a large beer garden and dogs are welcome. The staff are really friendly, it was very popular. We stayed there too late (after 8pm) to sample the food at the Lazy Lion at the other end of the street so we plumped for fish and chips on the green and chatted to a lovely lady who was on a day out from Bournemouth. She regularly came up for fish and chips and they were lovely. The village is vibrant and has traffic moving easily around a loop system. The green is broad and if you get to it at 9am you'll get free parking for 2 hours. The Beach is 10mins from there. We had time to walk up the 'spit' to view the castle, do some skimming and saunter back. The Beach is very clean, stoney though so if you're swimming, bring shoes. We fancied a dip but were ill prepared, other swimmers were happily bobbing around.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2023:

If you are looking for a lovely little village stay this is definitely the place to stay 5mins from beach and 5 mins from village fantastic restaurants and pubs recommend LAZY LION good price excellent food but vinegar hill is the place to stay quiet and peaceful will be staying there again

Deffo go to LAZY LION won't regret it

Would Recommend: Yes

9th June 2023:

Very friendly and helpful. Rosie the van is a real gem.

The Gun Inn at Keyhaven was lovely - great food and good beers. There is a nice trip on the ferry to Hurst Castle with a walk back around on the shingle beach.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th June 2023:

A lovely room, and very friendly hosts. Very private and quiet.

A very short walk or drive down to the beach. The Lighthouse restaurant is very close and excellent. It has live music every Friday, so book early. Lymington is a lovely town to mooch around. A quiet escape very close to lots of beautiful places to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2023:

We stayed in Rosey, and what an experience. The cupple running the place are so lovely, nothing is to much. Breakfast was amazing.

Walking distance from the beach and local shops, amazing restaurants and local pubs.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd May 2023:

A lovely part of the world and a lovely place to stay - especially if you are participating in the pottery class which I would highly recommend as you can nip in and out of the pottery studio in the evenings. I was staying in the garden suite which was great, but my only comment would be that you can clearly hear activity in the room above you. It didn’t bother me but it is worth noting - particularly if you are wanting a romantic break as your activities will be heard!

Would Recommend: Yes

8th May 2023:

A warm welcome from Lucy who showed us to where we were staying and ran through our facilities and how breakfast would be served. David was only too happy to chat to us about the Pottery. The items on display are of beautiful quality.

VHP B&B is a fantastic place to stay and within easy walking distance to a lot of restaurants and pubs. The Verveine Fish Restaurant is well recommend for a special occasion. The Boat House, Britannia Thai and Ray's Italian Kitchen can also be highly recommended. Everyone we met in the village were very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th April 2023:

You run an excellent business. A lovely room, very comfortable with breakfast delivered and left at the door which is brilliant. I highly recommend a stay here.

There is a great bar in the village called the 'Washroom. It is small and friendly. Used to be a launderette and has lots of quirky bits, such as the ceiling lights are made out of the old washing machine drums. I highly recommend. Too small to do food, but you can take in a carry-out and they give you plates, cutlery and napkins at your table.The 'Lazy Lion' opposite the'Wash' is good for food as is the 'Smugglers'.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th April 2023:

Lucy and Dave looked after us brilliantly, they were such greats hosts. We were there for Dave’s 3 day pottery course which was utterly brilliant- he is the greatest teacher! Lots of lovely places to eat in the village which is just 10m walk and it’s just 15m walk to the beach. All in all it’s fabulous.

Book Dave’s pottery course - I had never done any pottery before and it’s great fun.

22nd April 2023:

This was a great experience. I stayed in an antique gypsy waggon sited next to the Vinegar Hill Potteries. It’s atmospheric and beautiful. It was April and cold so I relied on the very effective heater disguised as an old stove to keep me warm. The bed is large made for two. The waggon is accessed via two level wooden stairs. The bathroom and shower is external, attached to the pottery but private for the waggon residents. Lots of external area for eating and meeting with friends in warmer weather. Breakfast was continental style but very generous and fresh. Loved my stay.

The village is fifteen minutes walk away and there’s a good choice of pubs and eateries. And historic Christchurch is a short car ride away. We also drove to the local beach and sat in the sun enjoying an ice cream while elsewhere winter still lingered. The pottery shop has excellent artefacts to browse and buy in their galley kitchen. A welcoming and friendly stay in an interesting and relaxing place.

Would Recommend: Yes

I enjoyed every minute I spent in David and Lucy’s company. The pottery studio was fantastic. I had a great group of people with me in the workshop. I thoroughly loved staying in the Hayloft room.

31st October 2022:

A really unique accommodation experience staying in Rosie the Romany Gypsy caravan, comfy bed, friendly and inviting service, lovely breakfast, perfect location not far from the sea and town. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!!

Vinegar Hill pottery and gallery is great, whether you are looking to try your hand at making something (doesn’t matter if you are a first timer or someone looking to acquire new skills), it is a great place to visit… If you are not looking to get your hands dirty, then you can also acquire a a work of art or dinnerware from the gallery there. The seaside town literally up the road, has some lovely little shops and places to eat too, also a nice place to have stroll along the seafront.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th October 2022:

We loved our 2 nights at The Hayloft above Vinegar Hill Pottery. The room was spacious and clean and had all facilities needed. No TV, which we welcomed! Breakfast was abundant. Location is great for walking into Milford village

Restaurants and bar choices in Milford are fantastic considering it's a smallish village. We ate at Verveine which is an absolute must if you love fish/seafood. Outstanding

29th September 2022:

A very relaxing stay in the garden room, the additional lounge is a bonus. The breakfast was great and definitely more than enough to set us up for the day. Lucy and Dave were helpful and always on hand if you need anything.

The lighthouse restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Terrific food at a reasonable price, we both had locally caught sea bass which arrived with a delicious butter and caper sauce. With the New Forest one side and the sea the other there's plenty to visit and do.

Would Recommend: Yes

We headed out to the beach house as recommended for a drink and the view of the Isle of Wight, we walked the Hurst castle and went on the little ferry back, had dinner at the gun and then went down to the beach on the final day! There's the perfect amount to be car free the whole weekend!

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2022:

The woodland garden is an ideal spot to stay in Rosie the Showman's Wagon, we really loved the whole experience and found the bed really cosy and slept very well. Everything we needed in the well stocked cupboards or the studio. You made us feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sitting on the patio. Many, many thanks for a brilliant experience.

Everything we needed was within a mile radius of the village, restaurants, pub/restaurants, takeaways, shops and the sea. An invigorating walk along the 'spit' to visit Hurst Castle and back. The village green has a great atmosphere and a sense of community. There is plenty of parking so even just a stop off if your passing through is worth while.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2022:

Very comfortable stay. Owners were friendly and accommodating. Freshly made, generous Continental style breakfast delivered to our door each morning.

Lovely setting, quirky character. Owner and staff all very friendly. Breakfast very generous. We only live about an hour and a half away and I think I've found a wonderful escape place. We stayed in the Hayloft, but next time I'd like to try the shepherd's hut! The village centre is a 5-10 minute stroll away with a great range of restaurants.

We had dinner at La Perle, the French restaurant in the village. Two courses £24.95, three courses £29.95. Small menu, but beautifully cooked food.We did a circular walk taking in the sea view afterwards. Close by is Keyhaven, great for sailing, kayaking and walking.

Everyone at Vinegar Hill was incredibly welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay memorable.

Great local restaurants and pubs and Vinegar Hill is a short walk from the village and the seafront.

The accommodation was excellent and the hosts could not have been more friendly, welcoming or helpful with tips and advice. The pottery is amazing and we came away with lots of lovely pieces as well as great memories - and will be back for one of their pottery courses.

We will advertise it in our holiday cottage in Keyhaven

Would Recommend: Yes

13th April 2022:

Vinegar Hill pottery is a lovely quirky and creative place to stay. We walked through the small pottery studio to get to our lovely, clean and relaxing accommodation which was fun. The rooms are a great size and it has a good size bathroom with a good hot shower. Lovely decoration with local art and of course pottery decorating the walls and furniture. The owners met us with a warm welcome and we’re really friendly. The breakfast was continental and very delicious and filling. We will definitely stay again.

We ate at the Smugglers pub which was really nice and the staff were lovely. From previous trips to the area we also recommend Mr Pinks for Fish and Chips. There is also a nice Tapas restaurant and The Coastal Bakery at the end of the small high street is awesome. Amazing breads, sausage rolls and the cakes are old childhood favourites.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th April 2022:

Terrific stay. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for making every bit of my stay memorable. I will certainly return.

Excellent pottery introduction. My friend and I wandered out for dinner at The Cave an atmospheric little tapas bar with an impressive wine list.

Would Recommend: Yes

Exceptional stay, only comment is that more milk for tea/coffee in the room would’ve been handy!

The Saltern in Lymington was a really great place to eat, while Verveine in Milford was brilliant for a special occasion!

Would Recommend: Yes

wonderful set up. Very organised. The room was lovely. The one day pottery course was excellent. Lunch really good. Dave was great- just the right amount of support. Well worth the money. This couple deserve to do well. With many thanks

Would Recommend: Yes

24th October 2021:

David & Lucy are wonderful, friendly hosts. Be aware that the upstairs room is truly up a winding, outdoor staircase - not designed for large luggage!

So much to see all around, whether your interests are nautical, beach or forest. The Pottery is situated in the midst of it all!

All excellent. Great fresh breakfast. Really helpful hosts. Would definitely return. Gypsy caravan is very authentic.

Loads of places to eat. Recomend the Gun Inn at Keyhaven.

15th October 2021:

Lovely little property with the added bonus of being a working pottery. Beautiful items to purchase if you want to! Lovely and clean, lots to do around the area. Walking distance to a variety of little restaurants also.

The lighthouse restaurant (although a short drive away) is worth a visit, also great food at the local Indian restaurant, huge portions!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th October 2021:

We had a wonderful couple of days in Rosie. Dave and Lucy couldn't do enough for us - lovely breakfast out on the patio in front of the caravan and a fantastic day of pottery on the Saturday.

We tried the Lighthouse and the Lazy Lion for dinner both of which were very good. The village has a great selection of local restaurants and is lovely to walk around - the views from the coast across to the Isle of Wight and the Needles are fantastic.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2021:

Dave was lovely and very welcoming. Explained about the wagon and sorted breakfast out. Was impressed with the honesty about cars and management in sorting them out.

Tip for getting the heading on, don’t click all three switches only blows out cold air but clicking 2 stitches gets the wagon lovely and warm. Bring a small bag to put your clothing in when having a shower. We loved the wash room for a few drinks, would highly recommend. Thai restaurant was fantastic :-).

The Gypsy Wagon was lovely to stay in. It has been decorated to a high standard & all of the extra pieces in there was very nice. Our hosts were very attentive & knowledgeable about the area. We would definitely stay there again.

The village was literally a few minutes up the lane. We had dinner in the pub "The Lazy Lion" & that was amazing too.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th September 2021:

Friendly and comfortable. The patio garden was lovely for lunch on a sunny day (we were here for a pottery weekend) and thanks David for your local hostelry recommendations.

An easy stroll into the village with a good variety of watering holes and restaurants. We particularly enjoyed chatting to everyone in 'The Wash Room'. We didn't have time to get to the beach or Hurst Castle this time but it's definitely worth a boat trip from Keyhaven (and walk back if you've got the legs)

Would Recommend: Yes

26th September 2021:

Thankyou we enjoyed our stay it was just a shame it was only one night, we would love to return for longer. I have only one comment, I don't think there was any mention of a spiral staircase when I booked, not a problem for us we have one at home but could be for some people. Thankyou once again, Derek

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2021:

We had such a lovely stay. Couldn’t have been more helpful. The garden flat was great - if you’d added a mini fridge and some extra crockery we would probably have planned to self cater picnic style for the weekend as there was so much space!

It was essential to have booked if you wanted an evening meal other than fish and chips and places stopped serving quite early - 8pm at the latest. Not a problem as long as you know!

Would Recommend: Yes

The gypsy caravan is wonderful and such a unique experience. The bed was very comfortable and everything was supplied to make a tea or coffee. The bathroom was a few steps away with an excellent shower. Breakfast in the courtyard was a treat. Thank you for being super hosts for our short stay.

Milford-on-sea is a picturesque village next to the New Forest and on the Hampshire coast. Perfect for lazing on the beach, swimming or a long walk to Hurst castle and lighthouse, where you can get a small boat back to Keyhaven, 15 minutes walk from Milford-on-sea. There are other beaches you can visit by car, Lepe beach, 40 minutes away is beautiful and has a car park and cafe. The villages in the New Forest are all worth a visit and then a wander in the forest to see the ponies.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2021:

Squeaky clean. A friendly, happy place to stay in a peaceful setting only 8 minute bike ride from the sea. My second visit and hope to stay again.

My partner and I stayed in the garden suite with our son (nearly 2 years old). The service was great. Although it is a family home we had complete privacy and our own entrance and the family were welcoming and friendly. The travel cot and beds were lovely and comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. Most importantly there is a separate living area so we can hide from our son when trying to put him to bed!

The house is a short walk from the beach and the village where there are plenty of places to eat. We spent 2 nights here and a couple of the pubs have a play areas in the gardens. We walked to keyhaven which took about 30minutes and got a ferry to hurst castle. We also drove into lymington which was beautiful and only took about 10minutes. The new forest is a short drive and we visited the wildlife park on our way home.

Lots of choice of local eateries, even in a socially distanced world, and everything in walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd May 2021:

Fantastic facilities. Extremely comfortable bed, great breakfasts, wonderful bath. The only slight downside was to be connected to the family house with the inevitable family noise. Not an issue for me but it would have made me concerned to need to be quiet myself had I not been there alone.

Do the fabulous pottery workshop!

Would Recommend: Yes

29th April 2021:

Our hosts were exceptional. Very welcoming and helping us to park earlier in the day to do a coastal walk. They advised on places to eat in the evening. The only tricky challenge was the circular staircase to get luggage up and was slippery the next morning when wet.

Perfectly located for the village, sea walks and the New Forest.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd April 2021:

Lovely peaceful location.Very friendly helpful owners Beautiful room and bathroom. All spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed. The only fault for me was one of the velux blinds would not stay down which meant I woke very early. Also, not a problem for me, but there is no TV in the room which some people might be surprised by.

What a fabulous place to stay whilst doing a really great activity - we stayed over the weekend doing a 1 day pottery course on the Saturday.

Highly recommend a stay and everyone should have a go on a potters wheel!!!

19th October 2020:

You (Lucy) and Dave were charming and helpful hosts! Everything was spotless. Rosie was an experience but in future I would prefer a normal bedroom as it was a) a bit dark for me although I like romantic lighting! b) rather inconvenient having an outside bathroom - though in fact I bathed in Tash and Richard's. I'd suggest one more light in Rosie - maybe over in the far corner by the bed. And I do think you desperately need another light in the bathrooom - even if it's just one of those battery lights stuck on the wall,i.e.without the need for electricity. It's so dark in there! The bathroom was also terribly cold. I tried without success to put the heating up and true I didn't have my glasses so perhaps I had it on low rather than high. 5 mins in there was enough! Re breakfast, a few fewer croissants but more fruit would be good. (I know you kindly offered us more fruit on the last morning but by then we were in departure mood!) Once we knew it was OK to use the microwave and fridge, that was extremely helpful especially with children. The whole experience was excellent and a pleasure to be staying in a pottery with lovely items to see/buy in the shop. btw, Rosie is really beautiful and has terrific atmosphere. Probably not suitable for elderly people but they can see photos and decide for themselves.You make everything very clear. Thank you for having us! We will certainly recommend you.

We loved the Lighthouse for lunch and the Lazy Lion was fine too. Highly recommend the walk along the shingle to v.interesting Hurst Castle.Nice to return by ferry boat to Keyhaven instead of walking all the way back. We also thought Highcliffe Castle worth the visit on our last morning. Loved Lepe beach and above on the cliff. A brilliant area unknown to us - and all with the great view of the IoW.

We had lovely stay and breakfast was really nice. Great location

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2020:

We had a lovely stay and found the location great it was a very short walk to the centre of town and beach which was easy to find! Sound travels between our room and the room above we had been told about this so tried to keep noise in our room to a minimum, however we were woken by the room above moving around it didn’t bother us though! . The bed above was quite noisy when they moved around which might be to do with the old floorboards too but maybe a few bolts could be tightened to help limit the noise. This was the only tiny negative comment. The facilities were great with the separate living room area and breakfast was lovely. We thought everything was great and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We were very lucky with the weather and so went to Mudeford most days and spent the day on the beach along with a trip to Lymington. Both of these are lovely places to visit. We also visited the lighthouse cafe along Milford on sea beach this was lovely. For dinner one night we also had a Thai from the local takeaway which was fab!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th September 2020:

The perfect place for us to spend a couple of night with nothing specific planned & were able to find plenty to do & relax. Easy to find restaurants, beaches & places to paddle & cycle in a very relaxed way. Hosts so charming & relaxed and gave us all the information we needed. Perfect hosts. Breakfasts were just what we needed too. And brought to the door.

Enjoyed a great meal at The Lighthouse near The Spit and also has great food from Britannia Thai. Keyhaven great for a paddle if sea at all choppy or windy.

Would Recommend: Yes

The Pottery is a perfect place to stay for a family looking for something special! If you like to see fabulous pictures on display, eat and drink from utensils crafted at the pottery and be served breakfast in your own room separate from your bedroom, then this is the place to visit! The hosts were very welcoming and laid on an excellent continental breakfast.

Lymington is only a few miles away with its lovely town and riverside setting. Milford itself is charming and has a beautiful beach with views of the Needles; Keyhaven is delightful too.

This was my 2nd stay this year and if I could I would book in again, and again! A comfortable and quiet place that allows you to chill out, perfect for attending the fantastic pottery courses run by Dave, for which his wife Lucy will provide the most delicious meals, and with the town and seafront only a short walk away, you just won’t want to leave!

Try the pottery courses run by Dave, a highly skilled and knowledgeable potter, he is incredibly patient and makes it so much fun! There are several places to eat in town, but I loved The Beach House as it’s right by the seafront, so an excellent meal followed by a relaxing walk by the sea..... what’s not to love!

pottery day course was fun- something different, tricky to pick but one acquires a little more skill as the day progresses. my partner is looking for a pottey course as she enjoyed this so much we stayyed in Rosie- a gypsy caravan, very cosy, quite lovely .

easy to walk into village and to the sea.

A gorgeous & hidden gem set amongst the trees. A really peaceful spot. With a great room, and fabulous breakfast!

A wonderful experience!!! Very very friendly and accomadating family run business. Breakfast was just the right amount and had enough selection all provided on their own home made pottery. The little walk to the bathroom facilities requires dodging a few things and if a little unsteady on your feet something to be aware of maybe. Garden furniture was a little bit wobbly to sit on. Overall we loved our stay and would eagerly recommend to other travellers. Thank you x

The beach is fabulous we enjoyed a nice meal and several ciders at the cafe overlooking the sea front. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and watching the boats and looking out to the isle of wight. Lots a pubs and places to eat in the beautiful village and surrounding areas.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2019:

We really enjoyed our stay in Rosie! Thank you for your fab service and helpful info of the local area.

We will look to stay with you again :)

A quiet and cosy one night stopover for my wife and myself with the added bonus of breakfast brought to our sitting room at the time requested. Off-road parking for the car was a bonus and the view outside our window of a gypsy caravan was something we had never experienced before!

For an appetising pub meal try the Smugglers in the village, but book in advance especially at a weekend. A lovely walk along the new promenade is perfect on a warm sunny evening, the Needles Eye cafe [open daytime only]has a super view of the Isle of Wight and the Needles. Polly's Cafe in the village is worth a mid-morning visit, and Hurst Castle with access by boat has great views over the Solent towards the IOW. Lymington Saturday Market is also worth a visit for a bargain.

What is there not to like at this excellent and friendly b&b. House hunting in the area this was a perfect place for an overnight stay and if we don't find one soon we will be back.

For gastronomy try Verveine, a small restaurant 10 minutes walk away. If you like food, especially fish, you will not be disappointed.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th May 2019:

Lovely place, really close to the center, and Lucy is the sweetest person of the village.

Take a bicycle and go all around, that is easy to do, go for trekking in the new forest,is amazing. Go to eat at the fish and chips, is the best of all the zone. You can go too to eat at the Italian restaurant, but their dishes are not Italian, lol(bad experience). Xxx

Stayed at the Vinegar Hill Pottery B&B when attending 3 day pottery course at the weekend. The course was fantastic. As an absolute beginner I couldn't believe how much I learnt. The Raku firing was amazing and I came home with some stunning pots with more on their way after firing. Others on my course were a mix of abilities but all stressed how good the course and Dave's tuition was. The B&B was charming and the family atmosphere was great. The breakfasts were lovely and the lunch provided as part of course was superb thanks to Sophie the private chef. Looking to go again in the future.

Great location and a nice walk to local restaurants and seafront. Came by car but didn't use it for whole stay as not needed.

An old gypsy caravan is what it is so doesn't rate highly in terms of facilities although it was very sweet and we enjoyed staying in it. The wood burner was a Godsend, the breakfast was really lovely and the washing facilities were fine. It might have been a different matter in torrential rain but we were blessed with sunny albeit cold weather and had a ball!

Milford on sea is a thriving place with a vibrant centre full of interesting quirky shops and good places to eat. La Perle is to be recommended but book in advance. The Italian was always too busy to accommodate us so book well in advance.

There was limited parking spaces available when we arrived as there was a fully attended pottery class in progress when we arrived. (unfortunately we did not think to book on this, maybe next time!) But the owner moved her car and let us have her space even though we were a few hours earlier than booking in time. Owners were friendly and gave us good recommendations for eating out, many thanks.

We tried the Brittania Thai which is a 5 minute walk along the road into Milford. The food was superbly tasty, thanks again for the recommendation. There is also a few tea shops in Milford where we bought some pasties to take for our lunch on our walk around Pennington Marshes.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th November 2018:

We stayed at VHP for a three day pottery course. Our accommodation was a three feet walk away from the workshop and the whole experience was one of those occasions where the happiest memories are made. The only downside was that because of the time of year we arrived in the dark and left in the dark so could not thoroughly explore the gorgeous area. We came away with loads of new found inspiration, thank you to Lucy and Dave :)

Milford on Sea is thoroughly unique in its restaurants .. we believe. All three places where we ate were fantastic. The Thai and Indian restaurants were outstanding but the best restaurant I think I have ever eaten, and the only one I have eaten at where ALL three, sorry four! courses were absolutely excellent was La Perle, a fab French restaurant and all just a seven minute walk away from VHP!
