Weir/Duck Cottage is beautiful thatched cottage with park-like, two acre garden with river, natural ponds even a private weir! It was one house but now converted into two great self-contained units - Weir Cottage & Duck Cottage. Only Weir Cottage is available to rent. The garden is shared but plenty to go around. Adjoining Duck Cottage is often unoccupied. The unfenced river, ponds and weir are beautiful but also make it UNSUITABLE for UNSUPERVISED children as potentially very dangerous. Sorry, no pets. Although 'chocolate box' outside, inside the cottage is very contemporary - an unusual mix. The original cottage staircase is a little windy so not recommended if limited mobility nor toddlers. Please note there are two bedrooms (sleeping three) - one with queen bed and the smaller room with a single bed. By prior arrangement only a further bed may be possible. One WC/Shower room (no tub). We do not impose a separate fee and we ask that outdoor footwear is removed inside the cottage and you leave the house clean and tidy. Of course, towels and linen are laundered for you. Car parking, on site, is free but at the entire risk of the guests as is use of the gardens.
I'm a mid 60's widowed chap who travels abroad a great deal with my partner, Lindy, who also has a house in Salisbury where we also spend a lot of time. Winters we are usually in Australia but throughout the year we are abroad frequently. My housekeeper, Daisy, looks after things if I am not around. We are sometimes next door at Duck Cottage but also lend/exchange Duck Cottage to friends from all over the world. There's plenty of space to go around!
The wonderful aspect of Weir Cottage is that pubs, restaurants and shops are all a few minutes' stroll away. The New Forest National Park is only one mile distant with countless miles of trails. Ponies, donkeys, cattle and pigs are all wandering free. Sandy Balls holiday park is also one mile away and has swimming pools, bike hire and more available to non-residents (fees payable). The very regular X3 bus service connects Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth to the south and places in between. Southampton is 30 minutes and Portsmouth approx 50 minutes drive.
