A great place to stay

We stayed in the Gypsy Caravan - it was definitely a unique experience and highly recommended for those with a spirit of adventure. Vinegar Hill pottery is a great place to visit with excellent hosts. Thanks for a great stay

Why take your family away and stay in a faceless corporate hotel, cramped into one room, sitting on the beds, when you could be enjoying a lovely quiet rural cottage style family suite! Friendly, welcoming host, tasty continental breakfast - this is a very comfortable, spacious accommodation with all the amenities. The suite was perfect for us, centrally located, just a few minutes walk (no pavement) to the village, with some great eateries.

Unwind in Rosie the Gypsy Wagon,

We had a perfect break away from it all. The perfect place to totally unwind, we loved the place even with heavy rain for the whole time. There was really good breakfast every morning, fresh warm croissants, homemade jams and fresh fruit.

The gypsy caravan is a lovely place to stay, a great contract to soulless chain hotels. The bathroom and shower room are a short stroll away and spotlessly clean. There are lots of thoughtful details to make your stay and the host made ezcellent recommendations for places to eat.

Our room was spacious and light and airy. Access to the hayloft room was via a spiral staircase so may not suit everyone but we found it was fine. We were served breakfast in our room which was very nice, and included fruit cereal,yoghurt, toast and croissants. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay.

Good place to stay

I, with my family, stayed in the garden room. The first impression was one of relaxation. It felt like being at home. kick your shoes off and breathe. Plenty of hot water and always there. Just thoroughly enjoyed the stay plus the comfort of being able to walk to restaurants of a good quality.

A unique and amazing place to stay

The accommodation is an antique gypsy waggon positioned next to a working pottery. The weather was freezing but a modern heating fire kept me warm. I loved this small but very atmospheric space and felt safe there. The private bathroom/shower area is separate. The owners provide generous breakfast and an external kitchen area can accessed. Pottery shop on site. Lovely place.

Guests are told to contact the property for check in instructions. I would expect the owners to contact the guest, but I emailed for instructions and got no response. I called twice on the day of arrival only to get an answer machine saying don't bother leaving a message because we don't bother picking them up! I did leave two messages and emailed again and eventually got a response which was to knock on the door! The entrance to the car park is narrow, not helped by foliage needing a trim. The owner was a friendly chap and showed us to Rosie and the wet room. It was tiny and the owner stated, 'everything gets wet so you might like to move your towels and toilet roll' which was all very well but there were no hooks or a shelf to move them to, and it was so tiny that the one shelf over the basin prevented you leaning over to clean your teeth. Additionally the floor was wet when we got there, although it had dried by morning. It was clean as was Rosie and we had a comfortable stay. On the property"s website it says the continental breakfast is delivered to the wagon. No, it is in a shop/kitchenette. There are hot croissants but you cook your own toast and make your own drinks. Unfortunately the bin was full from the day before, and there was a very dirty cloth in a dirty bowl and the cupboard doors looked like they had never been cleaned. I was relieved to see there was a dishwasher. Sadly, it all felt like it was a bit too much effort for the owners.

Great location, poor cleanliness and damp on walls

Great location, shame about the cleanliness of the rooms (see attached photos). Checked in for a 1 week stay in the garden room costing nearly £1,000. Unfortunately, the first thing we had to do was CLEAN the bedroom, absolutely disgusting. Damp on the walls, thick dust everywhere, smelt of damp so we went out to buy plug in air fresheners to mask the smell. No wardrobe but just a small hanging rail in the bedroom so our clothes smelled of damp during our week stay. Shower curtain had mould on it so asked for a new one, Lucy did wash it for us and apologised but surely things like this should be checked before arrival. I understand Vinegar Hill use a cleaning company for the rooms but cleanliness wasn't very good at all. No extractor in the bathroom so had to open the window to let the steam out, hence the damp in the bathroom too. I wouldn't recommend here at all unless for one or two nights, having stayed in numerous B&B's and hotels for work and pleasure over the years, this had to be the worst I've stayed in for many years. Shame really as the the owners were really nice and friendly, just needs a serious refresh, damp proofing done and a good clean to compensate for the cost of £1,000 for a week. Location was good (although take a torch with you at night time due to lack of street lamps walking back), Milford on Sea has some fantastic restaurants and pubs which made up for this poor accommodation, shame really as it looked really nice on the photos on Hotels.com

Great location and comfortable accommodation.

Great find and in a beautiful location only a short walk to the village and beach. The hosts give you just the right amount of attention and the continental breakfast was just right. The accommodation is spacious and has parking.

VERY THIN WALLS Although the staff and facilities were great at this property we can only give three stars because we were kept awake all night by our neighbours who had conversations until 1 in the morning and then were snoring so loudly that we couldn’t get to sleep. The walls are so thin in this property that you can’t really relax because you feel like everyone can hear you, and you can hear them, so bear this in mind. The shower also ran out of hot water a couple of times which wasn’t very good. Breakfast was delicious and good location.
