About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded, warm & cosy cottage - rural but 10 mins easy walk of shop/pubs.

A spacious cottage - two bedroom, three bathroom - converted from old stables - part of a 15th century traditional Hampshire farmstead in a tranquil edge-of-village (one guest described St Mary Bourne as a "Miss Marple village") setting with views over the iconic Bourne Valley. Two local pubs and village shop/cafe plus historic 12th century church within a 10 minute walk along flat footpaths. Perfect for a get-away-from-it-all weekend or midweek break. Wonderful at Christmas and New Year.

The cottage retains many olde worlde features but is fully modernised. It's warm and cosy - heated by environment friendly automatic wood pellet system.
