Set in a peaceful countryside location, it offers a secure outdoor space, ideal for pets, and is conveniently situated for exploring local attractions.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests frequently commend the cottage for its spotless condition and beautifully laundered bed linen, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The cottage's location is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local towns and attractions, despite some remarks about nearby farm buildings. Its setting allows for enjoyable local walks and easy access to the South Downs and the coast.

Reviewers highlight the comfortable rooms, effective underfloor heating, and comfy beds, suggesting a high level of comfort. The only minor discomfort mentioned relates to overly soft pillows.

The property is well-appointed with a luxury bathroom and ample space for relaxation. Some minor issues with maintenance, such as a delicate bedroom blind and a noisy garage door, have been noted.

While guests have mentioned a welcome bottle of wine, as this is not consistently referenced across reviews, it cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the score is set to null due to insufficient information.

Hampshire's charming village of Cheriton is located halfway between North End and Lane End. The community is now a nature-filled centre for tourists seeking to explore the South Downs National Park. It is known for its historical trails and is located close to the locations of battles from the English Civil War in 1644. The Flower Pots Inn, a classic red-brick pub, and the Brick House Cheriton are two places where you can eat out, while the neighbourhood store and post office are where you can get the necessities. The thriving city of Winchester is close by and is advised as a pit stop for a variety of attractions, such as Winnall Moors Nature Reserve, which offers walks through meadows and along rivers, Winchester City Mill, which is cared for by the National Trust, and the ruins of Winchester Castle, formerly known as the Old Bishop's Palace.

    It has everything you might need, and we were unhindered by a week of mixed weather. It's ideally placed if you wish to spend a day or two exploring historic Winchester, surrounding towns and villages, or wider across the South Downs national park and coast or the New Forest. For local lunching or dining out we can particularly recommend The Flower Pot Inn which brews its own fine ales, The Old Vine in Winchester, and The Horse & Groom or The Cricketers at Alresford.

    A very enjoyable stay. Facilities in the house are very good and I highly recommended the property. The only change I’d recommend is the pillows, they were so soft they may as well not have been there which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. But a minor issue. Overall a very nice property. Many thanks.

  • Steve

    Very clean and comfortable. Great location for exploring the South Downs and the South coast and thoughtfully equipped with all that was needed for a restful stay.
