The upside-down house offers beautiful rural views, cosy sleeping areas, and is well-equipped for a comfortable stay.

The garden and summer house add to the charm of this quiet and picturesque retreat.
The property is repeatedly described as clean and well-maintained, with guests expressing satisfaction with the level of cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted for its tranquillity and picturesque surroundings, making it a peaceful retreat. Its proximity to local attractions and the South Downs is also appreciated.
Guests find the property comfortable, with cosy sleeping areas and a well-designed layout. The presence of en suite bathrooms adds to the comfort, although one mention of a weak shower slightly impacts the score.
The property is praised for being well-equipped and having everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is noted to be well-designed, and the availability of hot water on demand is a plus. However, a comment about the shower's water pressure suggests a minor issue with maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Amidst beautiful rolling countryside and farmland, set in the grounds of the owner’s farmhouse, Drayton Farm Barns (pddp, pddq & pddr) have been skillfully converted from one large barn. Offering plenty of light and space, these beautifully presented barns have been tastefully furnished to a high specification. Henwood (pddr) is an ‘upside down’ house, designed with the living area on the first floor to take advantage of the superb countryside views. They enjoy shared use of a large lawned garden, and direct access to miles of scenic walks in this wonderful part of Hampshire within the Meon Valley, with the river meandering through the farmland.
