The property's garden and summer house offer additional relaxation spaces, and the convenience of en suite bathrooms is appreciated. While the water pressure in one shower received a minor critique, overall, visitors enjoyed their stays and some have even returned for another visit.

Amidst beautiful rolling countryside and farmland, set in the grounds of the owner’s farmhouse, Drayton Farm Barns (pddp, pddq & pddr) have been skillfully converted from one large barn. Offering plenty of light and space, these beautifully presented barns have been tastefully furnished to a high specification. Henwood (pddr) is an ‘upside down’ house, designed with the living area on the first floor to take advantage of the superb countryside views. They enjoy shared use of a large lawned garden, and direct access to miles of scenic walks in this wonderful part of Hampshire within the Meon Valley, with the river meandering through the farmland.
