Let life stop for a while at this tranquil getaway ,where the troubles of life can stop for a few days or longer. There is so much to see and do in the area if you choose to venture out with the beautiful town of Alresford on your doorstep and Winchester 15 minutes away. Welcome to your home from home I looking forward to hosting you for a truly unforgettable stay.
I will always be able to assist when required.
Alresford is a Georgian town of colour-washed houses, riverside walks and specialist shops. Make a full day out with a ride on the Watercress Line and a walk around the picturesque Georgian town, with its delightful tea rooms and independent shops, or visit nearby National Trust property Hinton Ampner. Alresford is only 10min drive to the town of Winchester, which is the quintessential English city with a rich heritage and vibrant contemporary culture. Once the ancient capital of England and former seat of King Alfred the Great, Winchester is the quintessential English city with a rich heritage and vibrant contemporary culture.
