Luxurious yacht experience on The Solent with accommodation options

• Solent sailing: This is an exclusive chance for a chartered sail around the beautiful waters of the Solent - the strait which separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland. You'll head out for six hours of sailing and bed down at the idyllic Thatched Cottage Hotel in the New Forest, or spend an unforgettable night on board your boat. 
  
  

• Aye aye, skipper: A highly qualified crew who will see to your every need during your time aboard. They'll also offer you the opportunity and instruction to try your hand at sailing. These brilliant day sails won a coveted Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence, not least for their cosy rooms, where you'll be spending the night if you opt to sleep aboard.  
  
  

• Land-lubbers: Grade II-listed boutique digs in the heart of the New Forest, Thatched Cottage Hotel's façade could have come straight out of a fairy tale. Accommodation is spread between the 17th-century thatched cottage, built during the reign of Charles I, and its garden annex.
