Guests say
The Stables offers a peaceful countryside retreat with beautiful views, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation, and easy access to Winchester and local attractions. Guests consistently praise the high standard of cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and the charming presence of alpacas. The property is ideal for families and dog owners, with sociable living spaces and excellent amenities. While accessibility could be improved due to steps, and there is only one bathroom for two double bedrooms, the overall experience is highly positive and relaxing.
Guests repeatedly mention the property is spotlessly clean and well maintained, with high-quality linens and towels.
The rural setting is described as stunning, quiet, and convenient for exploring Winchester, local towns, and countryside walks.
Reviews highlight very comfortable beds, a relaxing atmosphere, and a homely feel, making it suitable for families and groups.
The cottage is praised for being exceptionally well equipped, with everything needed for a relaxing stay, though some mention a handrail in the shower and bathroom sharing as minor drawbacks.
Guests appreciated welcome packs, dog treats, and festive touches, though it should be noted these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

The Stables was excellent value for our short family get together. Five adults, two couples and a single, we had a great time. The property was spotless, the beds were extremely comfortable, the bed linen and the towels were top notch. The general equipment was great and the kitchen was well equipped. There was decent space on the patio with dining table and chairs for eating out and comfortable outside sofas and arm chairs. Combined with beautiful country views the soaring red kites and the charming herd of Alpacas created a very relaxing space to enjoy a glass of wine!The one compromise was having to share one bathroom between two double bedrooms. I think this was reflected in the excellent value for money but for some it might be a deal breaker.
