Converted stables with two good size en-suite double bedrooms. Lovely open plan living room, kitchen and dining area upstairs to benefit from lovely views over the fields.

Had a really lovely stay in this barn conversion. We chose it for its proximity to various attractions, including Highclere Castle and Paulton’s Park. The accommodation was also only an hours drive from West Horsley Place where BBC ghosts was filmed. We enjoyed a 2 hour film tour and picnic there. We also visited Stonehenge, Salisbury, Winchester and Southsea. The Stable was the perfect base for us and was set in really pretty surroundings. So peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

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.
