Welcoming four guests and boasting extensive countryside with far-reaching views, an open fire and dog-friendly accommodation, Keepers Cottage welcomes four guests to bask in the ultimate escape to Hampshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home into a well-equipped kitchen, boasting a superb range of appliances sure to ease your self-catered stay; allow the designated chef to rustle up some tasty fare before settling down at the dining table ready to tuck in. If you prefer to dine alfresco, why not step out into the private garden so you can admire the beautiful grounds that engulf the property. Retreat to a homely sitting room when the evening grows cooler, ready to indulge a movie night or catch up on your favorite shows on the Smart TV next to a roaring open fire.

    It was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The situation was excellent close to some great dog walking areas. The wildlife we saw in the field around the cottage was delightful, pheasants, hares and rabbits. We will definitely go back for another stay.

  • Alan

    Ideally situated for fabulous walks in the South Downs Park and Meon Valley. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thank you.

    Will stay again. It was cold winter weather so lots more logs please. No information makes things like working the heating more difficult. Fire lighters and kindling please. Kitchen utensils were poor. No spatula to cook eggs for example. Shower fantastic. Heating excellent. Lovely very rural location. So instructions, plenty for the fire and sort the utensils please. Didn’t ruin the holiday but would make a significant difference to a lovely cottage.
