About this property
Settled in the village of West Wellow in Hampshire is this large (>2,100 sqft) contemporary detached house, Sherpa. With five bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests, the property is located close to the coast and New Forest National Park, with an impressive interior offering everything families and friends need for a self-catering holiday in Hampshire. You'll find a private driveway to unload your luggage and step inside the spacious hallway with room to keep prams, boots and coats. Be wowed by the spacious, sleek kitchen/diner with high-quality amenities and stylish features, including a centre island with a breakfast bar to socialise whilst the group's chef prepares dinner. Tuck into supper here or carry your plates through to the living/dining room with a dining table for 10; why not pop open a bottle of fizz and toast to your homely getaway? After loading up the dishwasher, your whole party can sink into the squishy sofas to watch TV or relax with a good book. You can let the outside in on summer days by opening the patio doors, which lead to a large, partially enclosed garden (gap between the house and garage) to dine alfresco and play games on the lawn! After the day's adventures, freshen up in the cloakroom and throw sandy bathing suits or grubby walking gear into the utility room's washing machine ready for tomorrow. Another space for evening entertainment and rainy days awaits upstairs where the first-floor games room hosts a TV, games console, table football, and a sofa; sure to be the favourite hideout for younger guests! Sherpa has five bedrooms, one of which is a ground-floor double with TV an en-suite shower room ideal for those with limited mobility, whilst the first floor has a king-size master with en-suite, a double, a twin, and a bunk bed. All guests have access to a family bathroom with a bath and shower over to get ready for the day ahead. Explore West Wellow where the Red Rover pub offers a classic British menu, plenty of delicious cakes at Headlands Farm Coffee Shop, and a local convenience store if you prefer eating at home. If you're seeking an outdoor adventure, you'll be in a prime spot for Woodington Lakes Trout Fishery, Wellow Golf Club, and plenty of wildlife and paths through the New Forest National Park for walking and cycling (secured bike storage available in a garage). Be sure to visit Nomansland village for The Lamb Inn pub and the town of Fordingbridge. For thrill seekers and lovers of Peppa Pig, Paultons Park is just a short drive away! The port city of Southampton has plenty of historic and heritage sites to discover such as Tudor House & Garden, SeaCity Museum, and the popular public park of Southampton Common. Alternatively, drive northwest to the medieval city of Salisbury with the stunning Salisbury Cathedral, Fisherton Mill Gallery, and the 18th-century Mompesson House, owned by the National Trust. There's something for the whole family to enjoy with a stay at Sherpa.
Wellow is a lovely village that encompasses both East and West Wellow settlements. There are a variety of things to see and do in the village itself, including pubs and cafés, an ice cream shop and tearooms, a golf course, a village hall that hosts activities and events throughout the year, and shops where you can get all of your goods for your self-catering stay. The community is ideal for nature lovers who want to explore Hampshire's countryside on foot or by bike, and the village is bordered by the New Forest National Park, so you'll be sure to view some of the best sites on the southern coast.

It was well situated for Winchester , Southampton and Salisbury. The accommodation was perfect for our family Christmas with facilities for for all generations. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were games and entertainment for the children. We can recommend Sherpa for a family get together.

Thereâs a handy Nisa supermarket within easy walking distance. Plenty of parking space for 2 cars and a camper van. Great sized house for 5 adults and 3 teenagers (who appreciated the upstairs games room), while downstairs there were comfortable sofas and large dining table with plenty of space for everyone to sit. Storage options were good in each room (although no wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom) and the shoe area in the entrance porch was handy, as was the large double hall cupboard which had plenty of hanging space for coats. The kitchen was a lovely size and it was great to have extra space at the small table and breakfast bar and the double oven was fab for cooking for eight people. The house file contained very clear information with lots of suggestions for the area and the keys were very clearly labelled. Great outdoor seating and some garden games which got used between the showers! There was also a BBQ but sadly the weather wasnât nice enough to make use of this. Niggles: The tap on the kitchen sink had to be turned on very carefully otherwise you got soaked each time you used it. A washing up bowl would also be useful. Kettle needs to be descaled. It would be helpful to have a selection of larger sized saucepans when cooking for eight people. The downstairs bedroom door sticks and can be difficult to open. The toilet seat in the upstairs family bathroom was broken and the holder for the shower head would not fix in position and just slid back down the pole. The mattress in the upstairs ensuite bedroom was hard and uncomfortable and one bedside lamp could not be used: it was not near a plug and the lead was not long enough to reach one. Missing a lock on the downstairs toilet (door through to the utility room). Overall, despite the above niggles, we were very happy with our stay and would still rate it 4 stars.
