Great rural location in the South Downs, with plenty of lovely pubs within a short drive and amenities in the nearby towns of Alresford and the beautiful city of Winchester. Great base to explore from or just a relaxing stay by itself. Recommended 👍

Beautiful location well suited to our needs. Gorgeous alpacas in adjoining field owned by hosts of the property. Some minor issues that were repaired promptly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
