IMPORTANT NOTE: Hot Tub Use



To ensure a peaceful environment for both our guests and our neighbours, the hot tub is available for use until 10:00 PM each evening. We kindly ask all guests to respect this restriction and avoid using the hot tub after 10:00 PM. This helps us maintain good relationships with our local community and ensures everyone can enjoy a relaxing stay.





Perfect for slow mornings, sunset drinks, and star-lit evenings in the hot tub.



All of the property duplex is on the ground floor, the only area upstairs is an additional seating/TV area which is up a spiral staircase.



Upon requests we can provide a travel cot for your infant. We do not, however, provide cot linen. The base is quite firm so many guests bring a small duvet to cushion this.



Our barns are based in the countryside in a quiet village, please respect our neighbours. Sorry, no parties!



We are lucky enough to have horses in the field next to the barns so no fireworks allowed.



You can easily enjoy nearby highlights like Durley village, Bishops Waltham, Marwell Zoo, or a day trip to the New Forest or Southampton.

To ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and to remain compliant with local health and safety regulations, the hot tub is fully drained, cleaned, and refilled after every stay.



If there is a same-day changeover prior to your arrival, the hot tub may require approximately 6–8 hours to reach its full temperature. Whilst we always aim to have it ready as soon as possible, it may not be fully heated on the first evening of your stay.
