This idyllic loft conversion deep in the rolling hillsides of the South Downs National Park is the ultimate romantic bolthole for couples craving an escape to the country with their four-pawed third wheel. Spend quality time together exploring the endless tracks and trails from the doorstep.

Everything is at your fingertips in the open-plan layout which consists of the kitchen, lounge, dining, and bedroom space which maximises the tail-wagging vineyard views. Creative minds will not be disappointed with the stylish kitchen; rustle up a romantic feast to be enjoyed seated at the breakfast bar as your canine companion enjoys their tasty treats at your feet. Tired paws won’t be able to resist snoozing on the rug as you put your feet up on the plush sofa. When it’s finally time to stop chasing your tail, indulge in a long soak in the roll-top bath in the bathroom before drawing the draped curtain to the king-size bedroom which features wonderful views that’ll lull you into a peaceful slumber dreaming of tomorrow’s walkies. Outside, those with a nose for nature can take the lead to explore 80 acres of shared grounds with vineyards, woodlands and farmlands to discover.

A playground for outdoor activities, this unspoilt spot in the South Downs National Park is perfect for those who love nothing better than sniffing out an adventure, with an abundance of ball-throwing opportunities from the doorstep. Explore the 80 acres of woodland, farmland and lakes in the surrounding Hartley Wine Estate with your four-pawed pal; you can even nuzzle noses with the resident sheep. Enjoy a relaxing stroll with your faithful hound, meandering around the historic buildings and high-street shops in nearby Alton (2.5 miles) to sniff out some tasty local treats.

A stunning location and welcoming hosts. Ideal for a retreat with a great network of footpaths for those who love walking. Not a great cycling area. Hope to return and look forward to seeing how the vineyard is progressing

We had the best time at the vineyard. The view from the room was fantastic, the room was very clean and all amenities provided were well thought. We also had the chance to go on different hikes to nearby villages. I would highly recommend it to any nature/hiking lovers. We will definitely go back.

We stayed at vineyard view for a week. The hosts were very freindly, including exchanging emails before, to give recommendations on local places to eat, as I was trying to book a meal for my husbands birthday. The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and set in stunning surroundings. Wandering round the vineyard and into the local village was a higRead morehlight of the stay. We would highly recommend a stay, whether you just want a beautiful place to relax or a base for your adventures it is perfect. Hide
