Luxury Thatched Cottage in the South Downs

Escape to the Hampshire countryside and enjoy a stay in our beautiful character home, surrounded by nature and peaceful woodland. Cook family meals on the Aga, relax in the garden, explore the adjoining woods where deer are often spotted, or simply enjoy the slower pace of country life.

Perfectly located for discovering some of southern England's most popular destinations, the house is within easy reach of the historic market town of Alresford, Winchester and its famous cathedral, the Watercress Line heritage railway, the New Forest National Park and the beaches of West Wittering.

The house is full of period charm, with original beams and character features throughout. Please note that some ceilings are low, so the property may not be suitable for very tall guests. There are three bedrooms accessed by two separate staircases. One staircase, serving Bedrooms 2 and 3, is steep and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility, while the second staircase, serving Bedroom 1, is of a more conventional design. The principal bedroom has its own staircase and ensuite bathroom, while Bedrooms 2 and 3 are accessed via a separate, steeper staircase. The main family bathroom, which serves Bedrooms 2 and 3, is located downstairs. Bedroom 1 has an ensuite. This unusual layout may not suit families with very young children.

Whether you're looking for countryside walks, family adventures or a peaceful summer retreat, our home offers a comfortable and memorable base from which to explore Hampshire and beyond.

A beautiful cottage in a splendid location. The host was remarkably accommodating and everything a host should be. We had a wonderful stay whilst here, and I highly recommend booking this property.

What an incredible "cottage" - it was so big, it felt like a mansion! Located on a quiet country lane, surrounding by beautiful scenery, this place was perfect for a nature-based weekend event at the nearby Gilbert White House and Gardens, as well as a reunion retreat for three senior ladies. The cottage was immaculate and the kitchen (always my favourite room in a house) was gorgeous. Well-stocked with an amazing array of everything needed for those who are culinary inclined, and more than adequate for those (like us) who chose not to cook - the lovely Aga oven and microwave suited us just fine! We spent our evenings on the large patio, surrounded by birds, bats, flora, deer feeding on the apples from the trees, and a dark sky filled with stars and satellites whizzing all over! The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious and super clean. The entire cottage was filled with everything needed for a family getaway - TVs, indoor/outdoor games, books - just perfect! Breakfast at the farmhouse table was enhanced with a choice of coffee-making machines and kettle. Tamsin, the lovely host, provided various coffees and teas - we shopped for other basics at the nearby Tesco Express. The huge grounds were delightful, and the adjacent walking path was perfect for an afternoon stroll. Love, love, love this property - highly recommended for 3 adults as well as big families - so much space! Tamsin was a marvellous host and we can't wait to return.
