We had a family holiday in August and enjoyed all aspects of the cottage. The owners were very welcoming and helpful Great location to visit many venues such as Portsmouth and Southsea High quality places to eat and variety to suit different tastes. We all enjoyed the space in the home and grounds.

The 'Owl House' is in a good location, easy access to Southampton, Portsmouth, Southsea etc. Remote setting is ideal for rest & relaxation in the expansive gardens which are kept immaculate! There was work being carried out on an old barn while we were there, but it didn't interfere with our holiday! Camilla and Tim are excellent hosts, always on hand if advice is required.
