The house is lovely within 5 to 10 min walk into Winchester. There are plenty of walks within the area. The gardens of the house are amazing and go right down to the river and gives beautiful views. Beds are very comfortable. The owner is very friendly but never intrusive he is available if needed. All in all a great holiday
