Small cottage or flat in Hampshire for early April

[mogwai]

We'd like to go down to Hampshire with our six month old baby. We used to live in Southampton so relatively familiar with the region. We want to visit Brighton, Lyme Regis and the New Forest, so Hampshire seems ideal.

Need somewhere for a week but ust can't afford to pay the £600 charged by places like "English Country Cottages", as this is not our main holiday this year.

Any ideas?

We got a great little cottage last year through Blakes. Not in that area I'm afraid, it was in Somerset, but it cost between £300-400 in JUne and had all you could want.

Enclosed garden, dishwasher,washing machine, TV, video, DVD, stereo, small supply of videos, DVD and CDs....great for kiddies, even had toys in the kiddies bedroom.
Have a look under blakes-cottages.co.uk and see if you can find anything.

this looks sweet

nr Alton which is lovely

new forest

We hhave stayed inc ottages throughout the Uk usingWelcome Coottages. We have stayed witht hem a few times over the past eyars and always had a good experience. They ahev a website and you can bok online. Costs are normally very reasonable.
