About this property
DaneSide New Forest 3 bed house. Hot tub, on stream by sea & shops. Dog friendly
DaneSide is a bright, airy dog-friendly semi-detached property at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac with two parking spaces for guest use. It is by the village centre, set on the Dane Stream with a private long garden that has rattan furniture (seating and 2 loungers) and a brand new Blue Whale Malibu IV hot tub (September 2024) yet is just one minute walk to the vibrant Milford-on-Sea Village Green surrounded by independent shops, cafes and bars and, in the other direction, its a 5 minute walk along Sea Road to the beach and stunning view of The Needles. There is lots to do in and around Milford-on-Sea. The village is host to an array of independent boutiques, buzzy bars, gastropubs, cafes and a butcher. The Village Green has many events from the music festival and dog show to plant sales and showcases for local artists. You can walk along the promenade to the east along Hurst Spit, all the way to Hurst Castle which is an ancient fort. The spit is also the best position to watch the famous Round the Island Yacht Race. If you are out this way, Keyhaven the New Forest National Park hamlet next door to Milford is the start of the sea wall walk along to Lymington. Milford is only a 7 minute drive from Lymington with its long wide Georgian High Street. It is home to the Community Market, one of the best and most popular markets in the UK which takes place every Saturday. From fresh local crab and honey to antiques and outerwear, there is something for everyone. Brockenhurst is just a 15 minute drive taking you to the start of many lovely New Forest walks. We've left a book in the property that features 30 New Forest circular walks of 6-8 miles, ideal if you are holidaying with your dog.
In the house itself, the sitting room has a comfy "sofas & stuff" sofa and 55" Smart TV with BT Sports package. Those staying in winter will likely enjoy the wood burner. Books, puzzles and games are also supplied.
The recently refurbished kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay, including a very large American Fridge freezer, ideal if you want to make meals in advance and bring them to save cooking whilst away! However if you'd like to get cooking, the SMEG range oven with induction hob and Ninja Dual Air Fryer will help you whip up a storm :) The Nespresso coffee machine means that you never need to go without a caffeine fix.
The dining area is in the west facing conservatory leading out on to the garden where there is an outdoor cabin, set up as a second sitting room with a futon sofa and 32" Frame Smart TV. The wifi repeater is also in the cabin, ensuring great connectivity.
The lower decking features 2 rattan sun loungers and the brand new Blue Whale Malibu IV hot tub and the upper deck has further rattan furniture for outdoor seating and dining. Being on the stream it's lovely to hear the birdsong especially the apparently resident blackbird and our new guests in the "Mini DaneSide birdhouse; a pair of nesting blue tits (Spring 2026). The bank attracts butterflies, ducks and moorhens. There is also a kingfisher that pops by sometimes, so do keep a look out! As the garden is long, there are always both sunny and shady spots.
Upstairs in the property is a king size divan bed with firm mattress, a twin room with two singles and a single bedroom. All with black out curtains and/or blinds with curtains. All bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe and drawer storage. The bathroom is a bath with mains powered, powerful Bristan shower over. We love sitting on the wooden swing made for two on sunny evenings in the garden as the sun goes down.

Great little gem in the New Forest, a short stroll from the village and the beach.The house was clean, warm and we appreciated the comfy beds and little touches such as the robes for the hot tub.

House has everything you need for a holiday everything has been thought of, great to have the robes to use. Also short walk to shops the beach and pubs.
We had a great week at Daneside-it’s well equipped, brilliantly located for the sea and the village, and Helen the owner was super helpful throughout our stay. Kids loved the hot tub, we enjoyed the places to eat nearby, and it was a great base for exploring the New Forest. Would happily stay at again-thank you!
Great house in a really fabulous location for both the beach and all of the delights of Milford on Sea

Hi David,
We are delighted you found DaneSide to be a well equipped peaceful retreat and that you enjoyed the hot tub. We love the local bars, pubs and restaurants too and adore the 5 minute walk to the beach with that direct view of The Needles.
You are very welcome to return anytime.
Very well equipped property, we loved the American style fridge and conservatory eating area next to the kitchen. The hot tub was a big plus and a luxury. Lovely host, quick to answer my queries. We had a wonderful time!
Helen is the perfect host - we loved the welcome pack, dog toys, and the homely feel to Daneside. It is perfectly located for a stroll along the beach or a short walk to the local pub.

Thank you for coming and enjoying DaneSide and Milford-on-Sea. Welcome back any time.
The place was like a little haven - very relaxing vibes, lovely garden and hot tub, comfortable and clean and just a short walk to the seafront and the little village centre. The house had everything you would need; we were able to cook a full Christmas dinner for four people in the kitchen and had everything at our fingertips! The host had also decorated the house which was a lovely touch and made the house feel really cosy and festive. The dog loved the garden and having it enclosed fully meant we could relax letting him out. Also, having the log burner in the living room was really helpful with the cold weather. Overall, couldn't fault it in any way and would definitely recommend the house for a lovely break away - thank you!

Just returned from a lovely stay in Helen’s house in Milford on Sea. It was just what we needed after a manic Christmas. The house was so convenient for all the amenities of Milford and we really enjoyed the cozy house, hot tub, walks in the area! Would definitely visit again! Thank you.

We are delighted that you found DaneSide to be so convenient for the shops, bars, beaches and walks in Milford but that you also enjoyed being "at home" with the log burner and hot tub. Welcome back any time!
The house is lovely with everything you need and a hot tub to relax in. The house is lovely and clean, a nice welcome pack which is a very nice touch when having a long journey, it’s in a quiet location which is in easy reach to beach, shops and lots of restaurants. Lovely dog walks, and not far to drive to different attractions. Will definitely be coming back.

We are delighted that you enjoyed the hot tub and welcome pack during your stay at DaneSide. I chose the property for the central location and was blessed to find somewhere on the DaneStream with a quiet, private garden. I enjoy the dog walks myself here through the nature reserve and along the cliff tops.
Thank you for leaving DaneSide immaculate, welcome back any time.
Helen
Lovely 3 bedroom property in a great location, close to town and beach with some great walks.
We had a lovely stay, the house had everything we needed and was very comfortable and homely. even had Netflix and Prime TV.
We also had the added bonus of the use of the Hot Tub which was lovely. Nice touches from the owner also made our stay very inviting.
Cant recommend enough, we will be returning.

About the host
Hosted by Helen Rutherford
Hi I am Helen and I am a Hampshire that lives between West London and Milford-on-Sea. When I found DaneSide, I was over the moon that there was a village centre property on the Dane Stream. I have walked with my dog Winnie along the Dane for many years, and recently we have been joined by Wilma who isn't safe on dry land! She loves retrieving sticks from the stream as we walk up to Studland nature reserve then across to Hordle Cliff and back along the coast path via the spectacular view of the Needles.
I am a member of Keyhaven Yacht Club and New Forest SUP club, I love being out on the water including open water swimming (though only from June onwards!!).
Why they chose this property
For me, Milford-on-Sea has it all. Just two hours from London, you have the sea on your doorstep and then you're just a short drive from dozens of walks in the New Forest National Park. The village itself is a buzzy, vibrant community centred around a village green. The Cave cocktail and wine bar draws people from many miles around as does Rockpool Cheese shop. You'll enjoy the best brunch in Hampshire at Saltwater Cafe whilst The Pickled Weasel provides all you need for a takeaway to the beach, including the best home made quiches on the South Coast! You can easily spend a long weekend in Milford and not need to drive, but if you do take the car out on a weekend, a visit to Lymington community market which takes place every Saturday is highly recommended.
What makes this property unique
Over the years I have stayed in many holiday lets with my dogs. I have equipped DaneSide based on what I had hoped other holiday cottages would have and what I have seen and thought "WOW" in other cottages which is why we have superfast wifi, a large American Fridge Freezer, a hot tub, second sitting room, air fryer, range cooker and more! In 2024 we have added a gas barbecue and request a £60 fee per stay, please select "property fee" when booking if you would like to use it. The location of the property on the banks of the Dane really makes this home from home unique. It is lovely sitting out in the sunny private garden with a glass of wine or Mezze platter and listening to the birds. It is such a peaceful retreat, it's hard to imagine that you are in the centre of the village. We welcome up to 5 guests at a time here and up to 2 doggy visitors. We do charge a fee of £25 per pet per stay and provide blankets to cover the sofa.
