Milvil Bed and Breakfast

Millville stands out with its distinctive Art Deco architecture, a white facade framed by trimmed evergreens and a neat driveway for off-road parking. Built in the 1930s and run by owners Steve and Angela since 2004, the property sits on a quiet residential street, just a 10-minute stroll from the seafront and high street.

For those new to the area, Lee-on-the-Solent offers shingle beaches, cafes and views across to the Isle of Wight, while nearby Gosport provides ferry links to Portsmouth’s historic dockyard and outlet shopping.

The four guest rooms draw inspiration from English Art Deco designers, each with en-suite bathrooms featuring power showers, smart TVs, hospitality trays and high-quality linens from The White Company.

Larger front rooms like Maurice (super king bed, convertible to twin) and Heal’s (king size) overlook the garden, priced at £115 for doubles.

Compact rear options, Epstein and Joel, both with king beds, start at £98 for doubles. Singles range from £78 to £88 across the rooms.

Free WiFi, bathrobes and monogrammed toiletries add thoughtful touches, and guests can use the garden terrace.

For extended stays, a self-catering apartment sleeps two, with weekly rates from £500 to £800, including a fully equipped kitchen.

Breakfast comes included, with options to suit various tastes: full English using local sausages, vegetarian alternatives, smoked salmon on toast, continental platters with cheeses and fruits, or porridge with organic oats. Fresh juices, yoghurts and pastries round out the menu, and dietary needs get advance attention.

The B&B suits business travellers too, near Solent Airport, HMS Collingwood and innovation centres. Attractions within reach include Titchfield Haven for birdwatching and the New Forest for day trips via the M27.

Local residents might appreciate Milvil for weekend breaks or hosting visitors, given its calm setting away from busier coastal spots. First-timers can use it as a base to explore Hampshire’s maritime heritage, from submarine museums to Spitfire flights. Book direct for best rates, via email or phone.
