A comfortable cottage in a central location for visiting Hampshire and Wiltshire. Well equipped kitchen with lots of cupboard and bench space for food storage. Plenty of mugs, chairs and spaces at the table. Outside there isadequate parking space. A few challenges if you are under 5 feet tall but there usually are!!Postbox and bus stops near by and a good location to explore Jane Austen country from. Close to Hardy's cottage garden plants featured on Gardener's World.

Very comfortable accommodation and the lloction just outside of the town was perfect for us and our dog. A number of walks nearby including the Warership Down Way and the Mill trail. Plenty of local wildlife, particularly nice to see hare, red kite snd muntjac deerr. Good little bakery in Whitchurch and Sunday lunch at the Dove in nearby Micheldever is 5 star and excellent value for money. Winchester, Basingstoke and Newbury are a short drive away. We will defintely revisit and would recommend the area and The Stables to anyone.
