We absolutely loved our stay at Vinegar Hill Pottery. We were three friends sharing the Garden Room while we took the raku weekend pottery course. It's a beautiful place to stay, even if you're not on a course, but the combination of the two is brilliant!
Tips:If you love seafood, treat yourself to one of the tasting menus at Verveine, about a 15 minute walk from the pottery - so good!

Tips:Check out Ray's Italian and Verveine. There's loads to sew on the sea front and the local area. We also really enjoyed the Otters Garden Centre, a 5 min drive away.

Dave and Lucy made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Rosie was a quaint and unusual place to stay, super comfortable, with a delicious breakfast served on the patio and the best shower. All this made a great start to a fabulous day in the pottery studio. Dave is a patient, encouraging teacher with a good sense of humour. So lovely to be able to try, fail, try again and sometimes succeed. We would love to return, thank you so much
Tips:The WashHouse in Milford definitely worth a visit if you like craft ales with a friendly vibe

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.
Tips: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.

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

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
Tips: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.

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.
Tips:Verveine Fishmarket Restaurant The Cave Your pottery and courses!

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

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.

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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 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!
Tips: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!

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?
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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

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 :)
Tips: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.

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!

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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'.

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.

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.
Tips: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.

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!!
Tips: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.

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

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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.

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 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.
Tips: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.

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!
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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 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!
Tips: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!

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!
Tips: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!

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
Tips: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.

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!
Tips: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.

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.
Tips: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!
Tips: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.
Tips: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.

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 :)
Tips: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!

We stayed in the loft room. It was so light and felt very spacious. The bed is comfortable, the shower is lovely and even the toiletries were special - aromatherapy while you wash! Breakfast was delivered to the door at a time agreed the night before - warm croissants, toast, orange juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Cereal is already provided in the room along with tea and coffee (even coffee grounds!) - everything you could want except a cafetiere - but I'm sure they'd provide one if you requested it. We had our own. The environment is peaceful. You wouldn't know that pottery classes are going on downstairs. It was worth every penny and I'd definitely return.
Tips:Go to Hurst on the Hill café for lunch (menu inc. good veggie options) and Britannia Thai for dinner - both in Milford on Sea - a 10 minute walk from Vinegar Hill. Visit Hurst Castle by walking along the shingle spit from Needles Eye Café (Hurst Road in Milford) and get the ferry back to Keyhaven then walk to Milford Beach. Ferries run every 20 mins March to October.

Such a fabulous experience to stay overnight in 'Rosie' the gypsy caravan - beautifully painted and located. Lovingly styled throughout, with a great little heater that was safe, easy to operate and looked the part. Totally private, once inside with curtains and blinds. Still had electricity for phone charging etc but no mention of wifi. It was easy to find the pottery, which stocked some wonderful, unique items and there was ample parking. The facilities are perfectly adequate and clean but if it was raining and you needed to go in the night, it wouldn't be much fun - maybe a comode for emergencies is a thought - although, obviously guests would need to clean it for themselves in the morning, I can see why you wouldn't want to provide it! A couple of hooks to hang coats on might be useful and a little history of the caravan would be a lovely touch. Breakfast was fantastic and brought to your door and the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. A nice stroll down to Milford town and the sea front and some great little bars and restaurants. Can highly recommend and would return again!
Tips:Sea front is 20 mins walk and in Milford town is great bar called The Cave amongst several other restaurants, bars and pubs. Cute little shops and convenience store for emergencies, open till around 8pm.

Very welcoming despite pottery course being held. Liked the mugs,plates,jugs,bowls etc used for table. Lovely colours. The garden behind us was used by the couple in the caravan, and later for those on the pottery course. This meant that for privacy we needed to keep the blinds down making sitting room dark. We didn't have a chance to use the garden. Light bulbs good in bedroom. Would recommend to younger travellers.
Tips:If you are likely to need an evening meal try to book in advance. Both Friday and Saturday evenings were very busy at the places we tried. Parking tricky for inactive. Ended at Gunn Inn Keyhaven on Saturday. Lovely pub, Kitchen closed but we were able to get a sandwich which was most kind and sandwich was good. Red Lion busy, basic pub grub. French Bistro too busy unless booked.

Our hosts, David and Lucy, were lovely. And our suite was fantastic: gorgeous, cosy bedroom, large bathroom and - added bonus - our own sitting room and breakfast dining area. It felt more like we had the run of a friend's country pad than a stay at a B&B - and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tips:Don't just stay here - do the pottery course too! It's a must, it really is. So much fun - and you'll be surprised just how much you can achieve in a day. There are several courses in fact. So check them out - David's a great teacher. It's one of the must-do attractions in Milford on Sea. As for food, we ate one delicious plate after the next at La Perle, a restaurant that combines beautifully composed dishes, robust flavours AND large portions. Bliss. We also enjoyed The Cave, which is a popular wine bar that makes a heady Hendrick's G&T, offers a dangerously quaffable Beaujolais and produces very satisfying tapas. WIN WIN WIN. We couldn't get a table at Verveine because its reputation surpasses it and all tables had been nabbed by the time we called. But it's on our list for next time.

Fantastic hosts, they couldn't do enough to help. A beautiful suite of rooms decorated tastefully. A good choice of breakfast. The first place I've ever stayed where there was fresh coffee as a choice on the tea tray, and peppermint tea. Natural good quality soaps and plenty of hot water. The hosts want to make their guests experience natural living in the natural beauty of the New Forest and it's by the seaside what more can you want.
Tips:If you want a brand new shiny box to sleep in, this isn't the place for you. This is rustic charm, with Gypsy Wagon. Don't bother with the Beach House for dinner, go across to Lymington, the Ship is a lovely place to eat. Bucklers Hard with Maritime museum is a nice day out.

I rated facilities as 4 out of five because we would have liked to hang up our coats and some clothes but there wasn't a wardrobe. Not a problem really as it was only for two nights. Lucy was friendly and welcoming but we didn't get the chance to speak with Dave the owner as the course was run by his former tutor Colin who gave us a fun and enjoyable day. It would have been interesting to hear of Dave's experience and techniques.
Tips:Verveine and La Perle are great restaurants

Starting with an incredibly warm welcome, recommendations of where to go locally and extremely comfortable beds, we woke up to a superbly cooked breakfast with locally sourced ingredients. The group size was perfect, enough people to have a laugh with over the lunchtime feast, yet small enough that we were given time and attention to develop our skills. We had grins on our faces for the whole week afterwards and felt so lucky to have had the chance to experience a full weekend at such a hidden gem of a place. Thank you for your hospitality and general awesomeness, we have been strongly considering coming back later in the year as it was that good!
Tips:There are options to suit most budgets and preferences just a short walk or car ride away. Less than a 10 minute stroll into town, we were able to have a pub dinner and drinks at the Red Lion, with a live band playing the likes of Smoke on the Water and other classics. The staff, prices and portion sizes were great with the added bonus of neither of us needing to drive. The Thai restaurant across the road was pretty quiet for a Saturday and tasted incredible, but if we went back we would probably try out Verveine (Fish Restaurant) as absolutely everyone we met said it was the best place around (advised to book ahead). Activity-wise, the Pottery course was unbelievably awesome, both my girlfriend and I were grinning for days afterwards and the feast they provided was delicious. The beach is not far, a nice walk/jog along the cliffs, great for dog walking too. We didn't feel the need to have an action packed weekend here at all and got the impression that everyone was pretty content with their town/way of life. The owners can also recommend things to do and see, as well as there being a board in the room with recommendations from previous guests.

Just the loveliest place to stay. Everything was perfect and I can't think of anything that would have made it better. Sorry for our tardy departure time.
Tips:If you want to go to La Perle restaurant book in advance as it is tiny. Thai place is nice and probably doesn't require booking. Riding a bike to Lymington and ferry to Isle of Wight is really nice, but maybe wait for warmer weather, total distance around island is 65miles (so 75 total), shorter routes are available.

A really lovely spot near to the local town and the beach with great views of the IOW. Clean and very comfy accommodation. Everything just right; lovely breakfast and very friendly. I also enjoyed a one day pottery course on site. Would highly recommend. A breath of fresh air.
Tips:We ate locally at La Perle and Verveine. Would highly recommend both. Be sure to sample the nostalgic 'sherbet fountain' at the latter. Also make time for a coffee at the Needles eye cafe and a stroll along the spit to Hurst castle.

Very friendly and helpful. Only reason for facilities = 4 is that its not possible to hold the velux window blinds down using the stick, can this be fixed? Also at payment time, we were told the price would have a surcharge if we used credit rather than debit card. this either needs making clear/clearer up front, or allow the credit card fee to be absorbed in your costs.
Tips:Don't forget the Red Lion pub; its traditional pub food, and if you order fish, they only use fresh fish sourced daily. We also had v good soup at the needles eye cafe on the seafront

Staying in 'Rosie the Gypsy Caravan' was such a unique experience. It was very cosy and facilities, even though outside were clean and well kept. We were met by a friendly face who engaged with us and recommended lots of great places to visit on top of what we had already planned. The breakfast was tasty too. All in all a very great stay in a beautiful location. My husband had a wonderful birthday surprise so our trip was a success and Vinegar Hill definitely contributed to this. I would recommend to anyone who is up for staying somewhere a little different!
Tips:Take a walk around the Nature Reserve only up the road. Drive down to the port where you can catch a small boat across to Hurst Castle. After visiting the castle you can take a lovely stroll back around 2 miles to your car, along the shore. Definitely visit the Raft Rocks for dinner down the seafront. Absolutely wonderful place, fantastic food and lovely atmosphere!

Amazing experience. Booked Garden suite which I loved and went on the pottery course. It's so challenging you forget about everything else and meet very nice people. Dave is a great teacher, everyone took home lots of Raku pots and very practical items they' d made. Breakfast is home cooked and delivered hot to your accommodation, lunch is absolutely delicious served communally al fresco or in the gallery showcasing the full range that you can buy or make.

Thanks Lucy and Dave for the hospitality and the Raku course. It's really been a great time. I love Rosie the gypsy wagon a lot, with the nice decorations, colour, the smell of wood and the "fire place". The Raku course is extremely well structured. Dave delivered the course very well and make things live and more interesting. Seeing my Raku pots on fire gave me great fun. I can't forget to mention the wonderfully delicious meals you provided. It's really more than perfect. If I really need to pick something to comment negatively, it would be the shower room a bit too dark (but that wasn't much a problem).
Tips:I recommend The Village Coffee Pot. Apart from the nice food they provide, I think they are one of the few café nowadays would care about how to make proper tea. The Hurst Castle would be the must-see I think. It's really spectacular.

Dave & Lucy are charming hosts, they make you very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. A word to the wise though, the two rooms indoors are really nice but be warned, "Rosie" the showman's caravan is only for the most adventurous of guests and quite an ordeal for the more mature resident..... The pottery course was action packed and fun. Dave is an excellent teacher and it was pitched brilliantly for us all as beginners.
Tips:Lymington for shopping and a walk. Verveine and La Perle restaurants very nice in the village.

Comfortable, homely accommodation and great breakfasts made our stay a calm, relaxing experience. It was just the break we needed to unwind.
Tips:It's very easy to get to Beaulieu and Bournemouth from here. The walk along the shingle beach to Hurst Castle is bracing but worthwhile. We recommend the Thai restaurant but the friendliest place to eat was definitely The Raft. The fish and chips shop on the village green was also worth a visit. The lady in the Post Office spent half an hour teaching our daughter to knit! Just one of the friendly people we met during our stay.

Lovely people and - yes we'd certainly recommend Vinegar Hill. Amazingly large area for our sole use, including the lounge/dining area - excellent. One or two things just as possible suggestions in case you feel like changing them and hope they are helpful rather than critical The duvet is only just wide enough for the bed and very narrow once two people are fighting over it! Tea/ cafetiere coffee made for us at breakfast would have been good rather than instant coffee made by us. The doors near the rooms do make an amazing din when slammed by little people - perhaps some sound proofing around them. This was only noticeable in the evenings and was quiet once childrens' bedtime arrived! Lovely pottery too
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi there thanks for your review - we do take it on board regarding the door slamming and will need to think about that! Re the coffee in the morning - there is a cafetiere and tea pot in the window and fresh coffee in the jar on the tray. Sorry that you missed that - I will try and point it out in future. It was great to accommodate you.

Loved the whole thing and would certainly return to stay. Bit weird that there is no lock on the main room door of garden suite, and not 100% happy with having one visit in morning to lay table (Although quite nice this is done) then another to bring in breakfast (which was lush), then another to bring toast.. could this not all be done at once?

Lucy, David and their family were delightful hosts. We were made welcome and all of our needs were met. Dave sorted a good breakfast each morning to suit our needs. They have an excellent knowledge of the local area and clearly they enjoyed managing a very good bed and breakfast. we felt we got value for money. Dave's pottery is innovative. The studio is worth a visit just to see his speciality glazed bathroom sink.
Tips:We had an evening meal at La Perle, which provided a first class meal. We had lobster and hake, both of which were beautifully prepared and presented, with real fresh cooked chips. We had another meal at the Noisy Lobster in Mudeford. It is a beach side cafe/restaurant with a beautiful view of Christchurch Bay. The service was excellent, and the food very good and well worth the journey.

Came to stay with my mum for a belated special birthday present... We had a 2 night stay in Rosie the Wagon & a one day pottery course. The wagon is lovely and very cosy with a view of the garden. In the morning we were served cooked breakfast out in the sunshine it was delicious... I can highly recommend their homemade marmalade if they have any. The potting course was a lot of fun... and we got even more delicious food served at lunch... Dave is a very patient talented teacher and makes everyone feel like they can do it and by the end of the day we all could!! A Birthday pressie my mum will never forget - Thank you :-)

Amazing property and surroundings. Lovely inside and out. Great breakfast. Nothing too much trouble. Comfy beds. Can't fault it at all. Had a lovely break here and would like to return in the future.
Tips:5 minute walk to village. Tried Smuggler's Inn (nice pub food). Mr Pinks Fish and Chips Shop is great for takeaway food. Get to village early for evening meal as gets quite busy. If you like walking try the Hurst Castle walk along the spit. Around 2 miles to castle. There is a ferry if you don't want them walk. Just over bridge at caravan site. Good afternoon spent there.

We had a lovely stay in Rosie. It was very cozy and warm even when chilly outside. It was decorated very nicely and had pretty much everything you might need. I was nervous about the small wet room at first, but it was absolutely fine. The location was great - really close walking distance from the village green with all the restaurants and also from the sea! Also, only an £11 taxi from Lymington. It would be great if there could be another water jug out there. By the time you make tea and coffee, there is no water left to drink. It would also be good if the wi-fi router was closer to Rosie. Unfortunately it's sometimes necessary to reply to some work emails over the weekend and that proved to be difficult due to lack of connection (some people may actually find this a positive!).
Tips:The Beach House had amazing views and was a short walk away (food wasn't amazing). The little area around the village green was really lovely and quaint.

Great experience and really enjoyable. We'd never stayed in anything like this before (Rosie, the vintage gypsy caravan) and really took to the whole thing, the decor, the set up and the place. The weather certainly helped but you made us feel very welcome and have a great manner and way with your guests. Would certainly recommend a weekend break to anyone looking to stay somewhere a bit different.
Tips:Milford on sea is charming and an easy ten minute walk away - lots of good places to eat and drink as well as a nice selection of independent shops. The Saturday market in Lymington was also great fun - but get off early to miss traffic!

A perfect stay! Good location for getting around. We had a little one so we chose this as we were able to sit in the our own lounge once we returned from a lovely meal and coastal walk at the Beach House and put the little one to bed in the next room. Breakfast was served in the lounge too so very relaxing and no rushing around with the little one trying to get ready. The courtyard we had access too is a little sun trap!
Tips:Beach House for dinner was fab with a lovely coastal walk afterwards! A few minutes drive to take the little ferry boat across to the Hurst castle. We also visited the Isle of Wight & Burley. There is plenty around within easy driving to see and do!
