We have been to owl house, twice and have another two holidays booked at owl house. Owl house is just perfect, the gardens are amazing, along with serval wildlife that visit, including, dears, hares, different birds.etc. The cottage is lovely, Comfortable, clean, you really could not choose anywhere better. The hosts are such lovely, caring people, and welcome You, with open arms. Also there is a cute dog named mojo. Would highly recommend, and guarantee you will not be disappointed. **

We had a lovely holiday at The Owl House. The location was great with easy access to Southampton and National Trust venues. The views from the patio were fantastic. We felt very relaxed and peaceful. We also enjoyed wandering in Bishops Waltham and stopping for coffee. We will definitely plan to come back.

The Owl House was perfect for our Christmas stay near family and friends. Camilla met us when we arrived and explained all the amenities. The house was a perfect home from home with beautifully furnished rooms. The facilities for children were perfect for when our young grandchildren visited and the toy cupboard a huge hit! They loved the garden, pond and tennis court for watching the ducks and burning off excess energy. We visited the local pub the Hampshire Bowman where the Sunday lunch was delicious…but do book, and the Hambledon vineyard is 15 mins away by car. We would highly recommend The Owl House and hope to visit again. Thank you Camilla and Tim.
