Solent Haven Glamping have created a new converted Container Home located within 10 ft of the Beach. On the Solent overlooking the Isle of Wight with direct access to a lovely secluded beach or relax on the bank of our tranquil lake.

Ideal for dog walkers, bird watchers, outdoor lovers & people wanting to get away. We live the other side of the approx 667 metre squared, fresh water spring small lake/very large pond.

Located 30-40mins from the New Forest between Southampton and Portsmouth

The space
As a nod to our proximity to Southampton container port, we designed and commissioned a local maker to create a very attractive one bedroom self contained unit. This provides:
Stunning view of solent from Container and Deck 
Steps away from the beach and hearing the water.
Seperate Bedroom with double sized bed
Seperate Bathroom with Shower, wash basin and toilet
Full Kitchen with Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer
The space is small, two people and one dog very comfortable, depending on your size of dog(s) two dogs OK again depending on size. The Airstream maybe a better option for those with multiple dogs, we have had guests stay with 2 or 3 dogs in the Airstream.
Deck with BBQ

Guest access
Solent Haven Glamping is part of our property and has a seperate vehicle entrance with complete privacy for guests.

The owners live on the other side of the small lake/large pond (approx 667 metre squared, natural fresh water spring fed small lake/large pond) are available if needed.

Guests have access to the whole one side of the lake and wilding area and a bench under the willow tree and if a dog wanders over to our side of the lake, we are very relaxed as there are a lot of interesting smells :). We do ask that dog owners have good recall or if not that they bring a long line for the dogs to be able to mooch about :).

Other things to note
There is also a 1957 Airstream at top end of the wilding area with a deck. Each unit has been positioned to maximize privacy. This is also listed on Airbnb.

Our wilding area and tree planting is a work in progress as we have only been here a year and a bit, we are doing more tree, shrub and wilding every November and March.

My work: Host on Airbnb :)
I spend too much time: bingeing books or tv series
We have recently moved into this neighborhood, having lived in San Francisco for 28 years. We love the area and spend our down time is spent, traveling, sailing, mountain bike/cyclings, seeing live music and eating out. I love hosting and it's your home too for the duration of your stay and your privacy is respected. I will leave you alone to get to know the area or I'm here to offer ideas if you ask. I am always available unless I am doing one of the above activities :-) One of my life motto's is from the Dalai Lama "if you can, help others, if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them"
