Snaptrip says

Barley Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, including a welcome bottle of wine. Set in a peaceful countryside location, it offers a secure outdoor space, luxurious bathroom, and well-equipped kitchen. While there are minor maintenance issues and some concerns about nearby farm buildings, guests are delighted with the property and often plan to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests have highlighted the spotless condition of the cottage and beautifully laundered bed linen, indicating a high level of cleanliness.

The location is appreciated for its peaceful countryside setting and proximity to local attractions, although one review mentioned unsightly farm buildings nearby.

The cottage is described as warm, comfortable, and quiet, with comfy beds and effective underfloor heating, suggesting a very comfortable stay.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a luxurious bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as a delicate bedroom blind and a noisy garage door.

The welcome bottle of wine was a pleasant surprise for guests, reflecting the owners' thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this category cannot be scored.

Featuring a private driveway and courtyard, a woodburning stove, lofty beamed ceilings, and country-style furnishings, whilst enjoying scenic views across South Downs National Park, the cottage welcomes four guests and one well-behaved dog, ideal for both families and groups. Enter the open-plan living space, flooded with natural light, and furnished with homely accessories, making the perfect space to fulfil your self-catering needs, relax, socialise and plan your impending agenda. Head outside to enjoy the last of the sunshine, where you can unwind and dine, before freshening up in the sleek bathroom, home to both a bath and a large walk-in shower. When sleep calls, locate the well-presented bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite cloakroom and a twin with TV, both offering a serene atmosphere. Come morning, grab your walking boots ready for a day of adventure, firstly stopping off at Cheriton for a bite to eat and to stock up on the essentials. Within the national park itself you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to attractions, where you can hike up to Beacon Hill Viewpoint, tour the grand grounds of Hinton Ampner, or visit Marwell Zoo, home to a mix of exotic animals. Travelling to the city of Winchester, enjoy both a cultural and historical day out by strolling around Winchester City Museum, and Winchester Cathedral, or if you're into science and astronomy, visit Winchester Science Centre & Planetarium, whilst Winnall Moors Nature Reserve is a recommended environment for avid hikers. Reaching the coast, stop off at Southampton, where you can stroll around the bustling port, head to SeaCity Museum, or brush up on your aviation knowledge at Solent Sky. Take to Hampshire with Barley Cottage as your abode.

Hampshire's charming village of Cheriton is located halfway between North End and Lane End. The community is now a nature-filled centre for tourists seeking to explore the South Downs National Park. It is known for its historical trails and is located close to the locations of battles from the English Civil War in 1644. The Flower Pots Inn, a classic red-brick pub, and the Brick House Cheriton are two places where you can eat out, while the neighbourhood store and post office are where you can get the necessities. The thriving city of Winchester is close by and is advised as a pit stop for a variety of attractions, such as Winnall Moors Nature Reserve, which offers walks through meadows and along rivers, Winchester City Mill, which is cared for by the National Trust, and the ruins of Winchester Castle, formerly known as the Old Bishop's Palace.

  • Elizabeth

    It was spotlessly clean, the bed linen was beautifully laundered, the kitchen was very well equipped. It was warm, comfortable and blissfully quiet . I would thoroughly recommend Barley Cottage and hope to return soon

  • Linda

    Lots of secure space for our dog. The cottage has everything you need. It’s a real home from home with comfortable rooms, effective underfloor heating, lovely decor and a luxurious bathroom. It’s close to Alresford and Winchester, has excellent local pubs and pleasant walks from the cottage itself. We’ve booked again already.
