A wonderful barn located in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, set within 15 acres of private woodlands. Great walks and cycle routes ready to explore within the South Downs National Park.

Stay on the brink of the South Downs National Park in this unique barn-style property, heading out to visit beautiful countryside and the charming city of Winchester close by. A true rural retreat, this holiday home is set amongst 15 acres of woodland and sits directly opposite a field of grazing horses. It happily sleeps two guests and two canine companions, with a further property on the estate hosting two more guests if needed.

This delightfully contemporary property is all set out on one level, boasting a well-appointed and welcoming decor throughout. Go barking mad for the glorious open-plan living area, where high vaulted ceilings and original beams create a wonderful space to relax. Floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall boast stunning country views and flood the property with light, a cheerful space to relax. Your canine companion can curl up by the window and watch wildlife pass by in the shared garden whilst you prepare dinner or unwind in front of the TV. Leave Fido napping in the generous lounge whilst you retire to bed, finding a comfortable king-size to sink into.

Leave no stick unfetched in the vast South Downs National Park, which begins just 1 mile from your doorstep. Take the leash and head out on some unforgettable walkies, visiting the beauty spot of Old Winchester Hill just 11.5 miles away. Speaking of which, the eclectic city of Winchester can be found 10 miles away and is well worth a trip in the car. Wander its historic streets and stop off in dog-friendly pubs along the way. For trips to the seafront, head to Southampton (7.5 miles) or Portsmouth (18 miles) or pack up your tennis balls for games of fetch on the shingle Hill Head Beach (14 miles).

What a fabulous place to stay. When we arrived in late December all three lodges were lit up with trees in each. There was also a snowman at the bridge. A great welcome and so festive. The lodge was very comfortable and warm - no need for slippers with the under floor heating. The kitchen had everything required and the bedroom had everything we neRead moreeded. All so environmentally friendly. Durley is also a great place with lots of places to see within 30 minutes drive. Hide
