The cottage is is a quiet location on a farm with 2 adjoining cottages. It is very well appointed with everything one could need. It was beautifully clean and very comfortable. We would certainly consider returning at some point in the future.

Stable Cottage is in a very peaceful location although not really within safe walking distance of the village of either East or West Meon as the roads are narrow. Both however are only a short drive away and offer a local shop for papers, milk, essential supplies etc. West Meon also has a cafe. The garden is an ideal spot to relax and this well converted stable is a good base for various walking routes across the countryside/ South Downs and also has various attractions not too far away.
