汉普郡 · 袖珍小屋 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住2人 · Unique stable conversion, log burner, rural view.
Kick off your shoes, relax in this charming stable conversion Lovely views of the sheep, wildlife and sunsets Charnwood log burner Small courtyard with furniture Pleasantly rural but close to picturesque villages and larger towns ie Winchester, Farnham, Odiham. No separate living room but armchairs and wifi TV Great kitchenette, *microwave only *, fridge/ freezer, table and chairs Simple breakfast provided Short drive to good pubs/ restaurants/ farm shops / cafes / National Trust properties This attractive, cedar clad building is close to, but entirely separate from the main house. Parking for 2 cars is right outside Though the space is compact, I have tried to provide everything essential for a comfortable, relaxing break. There is a king sized bed, two armchairs, hanging space and a chest of drawers. The wood burner is romantic in the winter and there are also 2 modern electric radiators. The bed linen is 100% cotton and soft furnishings are of high quality, the style represents my love of travel and collecting . The kitchenette area contains a sink, fridge /freezer, microwave, Nespresso machine, toaster, egg boiler and kettle. This is by no means a full kitchen but that gives guests the perfect excuse to explore the excellent local eateries or to buy something to microwave from the local Waitrose or M and S ! I provide a simple breakfast of eggs, bread, croissants, cereal, milk, tea, coffee, butter, and preserves. It was my conscious decision not to provide a hob or oven as I do not want strong cooking smells to permeate the furnishings in this relatively small space. The shower room has a vanity unit and a good shower. The hot water tank is not huge but certainly adequate for two people to have a normal shower. Outside is a private small terrace with seating and a dining table, cushions are provided. This is a lovely area to view the sheep, hens and wildlife including deer, hare and some interesting bird life. Peace and quiet is generally the order of the day ( see my reviews ) but I have no control over the bird scarer and other occasional uncharacteristic neighbourly noise from dogs, children, machinery, local shoot, etc. I have a small private pottery studio to the left of the stable accommodation. I do work quietly in here from time to time but this does not compromise your privacy or overlook your terrace area. Please note that in winter it is not practical to walk to any of the nearby pubs in the evenings and a car is almost essential.
Spotless accommodation and hassle free stay.. Breakfast items and snacks a welcome addition. Ideal for my short business stay in the area.
We recently had the pleasure of staying here and it was an absolute gem! Shelagh has poured her heart into this space, everywhere we looked, we found charming personal touches! The treats and food left for us were a delightful surprise. The king-size bed was a dream—luxuriously comfortable, with gorgeous bed linen and throws. Old Basing, the nearby village, had a fantastic bakery that was recommended to us by Shelagh. Shelagh’s warmth and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable. Such a kind, friendly and responsive host, who was checking in on us before, during and after our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We’ll be recommending this cozy haven to all our friends—it’s a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. If you’re seeking a peaceful retreat with character, look no further!
This weekend away was more than needed and met all our expectations for a peaceful weekend. The host was extremely welcoming and helpful making this trip nice and easy. The supplies available as part of the room price was more than expected and made for a very nice breakfast. The strawberry jam was loverly. We loved having the Goats for company which added to the peaceful atmosphere and surroundings. Me and my partner will be using this as our get away from normality in the future.
From the moment we reached out Shelagh was responsive, friendly and helpful. Arriving we felt immediately at home in her beautiful, peaceful, well thought out (and beautifully decorated) cabin. The surroundings were quiet and stunning and having the sheep as neighbours was so much fun. The cabin itself is so cosy with everything you could need for an escape from reality, and all the details and thought that Shelagh put into her space were noticed and appreciated, especially the fresh eggs in the morning! We only stayed for the weekend but regret not booking longer and I’m sure we’ll be back.

自我介绍
I have very much appreciated hosting with Airbnb for the last 5 years and try my very best, ( within my limitations ) to offer a 5 star experience to visitors who enjoy comfort, style and a rural outlook. I really enjoy meeting new people, spoiling them a little and learning a bit about their lives but I am equally happy to leave visitors to their own company . I always endeavour to respect the privacy of my guests.
