Excellent stay

Lovely room, hosts and breakfast, great location. We were in Winchester on an annual visit and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again next year. A point of information, we were woken up (at a perfectly reasonable hour) by dogs next door.

She was friendly and gave us pointers for things in neighborhood

Friendly owner. The accommodation was fine, just as described. Very central, close to restaurants etc...The parking facility was an extra bonus. Thank you Sophie.

This was our first experience of Airbnb and it was a splendid introduction. Sophie made us very welcome. We were visiting relatives in Winchester, so know the city well, and in that respect were probably not the usual Airbnb guests. We really needed a central location and a place to rest and sleep. It was an excellent experience... Sophie is a lovely person and her house is beautiful. We have learned now to check in advance the bed ... which was very hard for me, although my husband was perfectly comfortable. The one concern we had was that for health and safety reasons the large window/door, which is a prominent feature of the photo, had to remain locked ... the two small windows did not suffice for us, but then we live by the sea and are used to masses of fresh air. There would be a way round this by constructing a mock balcony flush with the door, so that it could be opened without any danger. The room, however, was very pretty and delightful and everything one could think of was provided. The location was ideal and within minutes of numerous cafes for early morning breakfast. Thank you Sophie .. it was lovely meeting you!

Great room, very comfy bed and the ensuite was perfect particularly the soft towels! Good communication and I felt very welcome. Great location in the centre of Winchester, thank you for having me!

A very lovely room with everything we needed. Comfortable warm and clean. Sophie was very welcoming and friendly and we would definatly recommend them

Clean, comfortable and quiet room in very central Winchester. A great breakfast too. Sophie is an amicable host who had lots of useful tips to impart! Would recommend.

The Shepherds hut is in a secluded little forest area. The accommodation is immaculately presented and clean and tidy. A lot of care and attention has gone in to all the details. We were there on a cold minus 3 degrees couple of nights but the log burner heats the place up very quickly and it remains warm through the night. The mattress is really comfortable and in the mornings sunlight streams into the hut. Some have mentioned the hum of the traffic noise but it's not too noticeable and the hut is well insulated against any outside noise. The hosts are very welcoming and we can not recommend this place highly enough!

Anna was very warm and welcoming on arrival. The location was lovely and the home itself was perfect. Even in December the home was really warm and we made great use of the hot tub each night! We had a lovely weekend and would highly recommend a stay.

My husband and I stayed at Bluebell for our anniversary and it was perfect in every way. Anna has thought of every detail when furnishing the shepherd hut, making for a comfortable stay. The area is secluded and quiet, perfect for relaxing on the terrace. The wood fired hot tub is a delight and easy to maintain heat over a weekend. Already planning our next stay later in the year.

We could not have wished for a more perfect getaway for my birthday! We were met by Anna on arrival who explained everything we needed to know. The hut was bigger than I thought and simply beautiful with everything you could need for a peaceful getaway. Needless to say I spent my birthday in the middle of the woods with the fire burning and the jacuzzi bubbling away. We have only been home a matter of hours and I'm struggling to make the house as cosy! Thank you Christian and Anna for a wonderful getaway. You have a truly beautiful place and we certainly will be back!

Amazing! If your looking for a quiet relaxing weekend. Couldn't fault this place! Looking forward to a return in the future!

An amazing weekend at Chilworth Woodland Retreat. We stayed in the Bluebell shepherds hut and we could not fault it as the owners obviously have an eye for detail. The hot tub was even heated up ready for our arrival which I thought was a great touch. I would highly recommend a weekend away at this retreat!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bluebell, upon arrival we were made very welcome and it was made clear that if we had any questions Anna and Christian were just a phone call away. We could hear the motorway from the site, but it wasn't over powering and quickly faded into the background and was replaced by the birdsong. The wood fired hot tub was lovely, and one evening we saw the deers in the field. The cabin was cute and had everything we needed and the wine was a nice touch

We had the most wonderful, relaxing weekend getaway at Bluebell. We were warmly welcomed by Anna, who took us through everything we needed to know, and kindly had some wine and milk in the fridge for us. The hut is located in such a lovely spot, surrounded by woodland but within walking distance of the Chilworth Arms where we enjoyed a nice dinner. The hut itself was cosy, clean and inviting, and we loved making use of the BBQ and the amazing hot tub, which made the whole experience even more special. The perfect romantic weekend away and a short drive from the New Forest - we are already looking forward to returning in the Summer! Thank you Anna and Chris for a lovely stay and for being such caring, attentive hosts.

The larder is a perfect place for a quiet and relaxing weekend. Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our time there and can't wait to visit again. The layout is great and very well equipped. The area is lovely for walking and a added bonus being by a river. Alison is a perfect host being in contact since booking. Would recommend to everyone!!!

I cannot fault our accommodation at Martyr Worthy Place, it was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - a fully fitted kitchen with all key appliances, a separate living room with a flat screen/Netflix, and a large en-suite with a King size bed! The grounds were beautiful and the location is perfect - within very easy reach of Winchester (10 mins) and the New Forest (25 mins). Country walks along the Itchen River are also possible right from the front gate and a great pub (The Chestnut Horse) is in easy reach in Easton (15 min walk/5 min drive). Alison was also a great host and provided some lovely extras on arrival! Highly recommended!

The annex was simply amazing. The entire layout of the annex was great as well as the views to the garden. We had everything we needed and wanted to spend as much time as possible sitting inside in the beautiful living room or outside on the terrace. Alison was a perfect host, who was very helpful with direction, check in and providing useful information on things to do in the area. I would highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect as well with only 15min to Winchester and Alton. I will definitely go back there.

Alison is a wonderful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her lovely annexe, which is thoughtfully furnished and supplied with everything we needed for a relaxed stay. Alison gave us great advice on beautiful walks leading to lovely local pubs, so we enjoyed exploring the surrounding countryside, but it's also easy to get to Winchester, Heathrow and even London. We hope we'll be able to visit again soon.

A truly perfect stay in a beauriful setting. The accomodation was quiet, peaceful and stunning. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have needed, included lots of very special extra touches which were much appreciated. The bed is amazing - the best I've slept in! Shame we had a toddler to drag us out of it and unsightly hours. Thank you for a perfect stay, we will be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this delightful property - so much so that we booked an extra night! Alison is a very welcoming host - without being intrusive. The extras provided made us feel like house guests rather than paying guests and we would not hesitate to recommend others to stay. Thank you Alison . Jackie

11/10 Our best experience so far. Such an amazing place and location. Alison is the hostess from heaven . Really helpful and always looking to make sure your stay is best it could be. Words cant describe how wonderful it was to come home after a days exploring and settle into a true home from home. Alison thought of everything. Its was as if she was able to read your mind and know exactly what was needed. The kitchen had everthing we needed and more. We miss staying there and cant wait to book our next stay. We truely cant rate this place any higher other than except to say we had the perfect stay and were very sad when it all finished. Cant thank Alison enough for her hospitality and generosity. Highly highly recommend this superb accommodation. Hope to see you again soon.

This was a beautiful little gem of a place. So cosy and unique. A couple of pubs within walking distance, a comfy bed and a lovely little kitchen should you feel like eating in. The pictures really don't do it justice- it was absolutely charming and Leanne was kind and not intrusive at all.

Experienced a warm welcome at this Lovely cosy accommodation.

Location is good for visiting Portsmouth, Winchester etc. The accommodation is perfect for a couple. Immaculately turned out and well equipped with everything you could need. Leanne is lovely and we couldn't recommend it more. You can also walk about 50 yards to eat at the pub and stagger back afterwards! What's not to like!

A lovely quiet location with great amenities.

Another great stay at this home. Again, Leanne was so welcoming and attentive. I don’t think a single detail has been overlooked, the cabin really does have everything, as well as a generous range of interesting goodies for breakfast and lots of useful tips for visiting this lovely area. Absolutely recommendable. Thanks again Leanne!

The house is lovely and cosy, Lealle and her husband are really nice people. We found the house in perfect conditions and we have been supported in our staying whenever we needed any kind of advice about the surroundings.

Leanne was very welcoming and attentive. The cabin is cosy, full of natural light, very tasteful, and has everything you could possibly need. Really comfy bed and pillows. The yurt in the garden is a work of art and a lovely place to hang out. I had a great stay in this charming home.

The Bach was an absolutely lovely little cottage! Very well equipped, beautifully furnished, spotless, and really homely. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Leanne was a great host, she provided us with lots of treats and breakfast food, and was also very easy to contact whilst also giving us total privacy. We would definitely recommend staying here, the area is beautiful with the South Downs nearby and only a short drive to the New Forest. Thank you Leanne!

Wonderful & cosy cabin! I'll be back!

Jo was a fantastic host who made us feel very welcome and the cabin is beautiful with everything you could need. We had a very comfy and enjoyable break and hope to return.

What a great little place, fantastic sunsets and no light pollution for star watching. The cabin has all you need, kettle, toaster, fridge even a tv and DVD if you need it. Plenty of stuff for breakfast supplied, cerial, toast, jam and even a coffee maker. Would highly recommend this place. Jo and Steve are great hosts and their mad dog is a delight too... :)

Amazing ! Possibly my best Airbnb to date. Jo welcomed us and gave us an excellent introduction to the area, walks, pubs, country parks, she was warm, welcoming and friendly and made it clear that if we needed anything she would help. We didn't ! The lodge / annexe is very thoughtfully stocked from umbrellas to an aerocinno machine - all our possible needs we're catered for. Breakfast was excellent, everything clean and homely, tv, DVDs, books, strong wifi. The garden and loungers were fantastic and due to the great weather we relaxed here quite a bit! The sunsets over the beautiful downs were unbeatable. A perfect escape from the city for us, a great place and a lovely hostess. Book now !

Lovely stay, and the reviews were 100% correct - the bed is SO comfy. Shame we had to rush off early as definitely would've made the most of the accommodation/surroundings. Jo was flexible around arrival and Nora is a lovely little pup!

A quiet location next to a farm small hotel with beautiful views of the fields, which is very cute set! For breakfast everything is really that you need and even more. It could be a small for us little cleaner but everything else was great!

I had a wonderful short stay, mainly because of Jo's lovely personality and the beautiful location where they living. I would definitely recommend!

Jo made us both feel very welcome and at ease. We liked being in our own accommodation as we did not feel we were intruding in anybody's space. Breakfast was enjoyable, and nicely laid out. Jo explained everything on our arrival. Would have liked to have stayed longer and would thoroughly recommend.

Great host, great accommodation and great location. Will definitely be returning. Thanks again!

Lovely host, great communication and lovely little touches! Highly reccomend!

Thank you Stephen for a lovely stay and being a super host. The boat was fabulous to use for a couple of nights getting away from the usual box rooms. Quiet location with all amenities in close proximity, free wifi and no fuss parking. The marina facilities were nearby and kept clean and tidy with great showers. Bars and restaurants are only a few minutes away with a variety of options as well as refreshments provided by the host onboard. Great location to anyone visiting Southampton and would highly recommend. Many thanks again.

Stephen was a great host. He welcomed us on the arrival and showed us to the boat. The boat is as described. It is equipped as described and had prosecco waiting for us in the fridge (thank you Stephen). It is located in peaceful marina. It is all as decribed. One should however mind that the marina facilities (which is showers and toilets) are a longer walk (400m) so it can be a little bit of a pain. and not a big deal but WiFi doesn't work..

Thanks for a superb stay, for being so flexible, welcoming and informative. What a lovely break from the norm to stay on the yacht. The location is perfect for exploring southampton and its beautiful surrounding areas. It was lovely to have a bottle of Prosecco on arrival with friends as the sun went down! Your instructiosn for arrival and about the local area were really accurate and helpful and your availability for questions was great. The restaurant you recommended was perfect. Thanks so much!

Jan's house was easy to find and very tidy. Jan was very helpful and friendly, and everything was great. It's on a bus route too, though perhaps a little out of the way. It does smell a little of smoke, but that's hardly unusual. Would definitely recommend.

Jan is a great host, very accommodating and relaxed. I had a fantastic time staying with her! The room was very spacious with its own balcony and you have use of a private bathroom. I would definitely stay again!

Jan's place is comfortable and convenient. Jan is helpful and easygoing.

I can not recommend Jan's place enough. It's close to the town center and the bed is huge and very comfy. Jan made a huge effort to make me feel at home.

Highly recommend for short stays in Southapmton. Friendly hostess with very accommodating facilities.

Place as described. Excellent location. Friendly host.

Staying at Jan's was great. She provided a lovely bedroom with comfy bed and spacious bathroom with clean towels, shower gel etc. She didn't mind that I was up early and late back one day and was happy to let me do my 'own thing'. Will definitely book again when back in the area. Thanks Jan!

Very clean and tidy, quite place to sleep overnight.

Beautiful hut, idyllic location. It really has all you need for a short stay! Spotlessly clean on arrival, warm and comfortable. Our 5 month old puppy loved it too and he was very safe in our own little garden.

The Shepherd's Hut is lovely - really cosy, a fab wood burner and everything is beautifully decorated. There is a shower room with a toilet as well. You need to climb over a stile to get into it which was fine for us but worth bearing in mind if your mobility isn't so good. It would have been great to have had a mini fridge in there to store some milk, and the bed was rather hard, but otherwise we had a great time and Lucy and Ashley were really welcoming and communicative. We needed to arrive a few hours before standard check-in and it wasn't a problem at all. When we booked the hut it was £69 per night which I feel was a fair price - but I can see they've now raised the cost to £90 which I personally think is too high for such a small space - even though it is lovely.

Wonderfully secluded and quiet disconnected oasis amidst birdsong, horses neighing and sheep bleating.

Host made us feel welcome and was the if we needed them. Good location for visiting Mottisfont and Stockbridge. good for a get away weekend break.

Thanks for a lovely stay. Everything felt brand new and very nicely made. Thanks for being dog friendly, Ernie loved it too. Impossibly quiet, beautiful hut and unobtrusive hosts. Spot on.

Beautiful hut well looked after clean and warm. The farm is lovey plenty of quite space and nice walks into the village. There is no fridge which was difficult for us so that's really the only negative point.

Lovely stay

Had a pleasant stay here although it was only one night. Only met Lucy briefly but she was very welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean just what I needed for one night. Would stay here again :) Very convenient location!

The accommodation is clean and accurate to the description. Didn't get a chance to meet Lucy though, but I found she is very helpful and reachable. Definitely recommend if you looking for a quick shelter in the city centre.

Very nice welcome, easy going host. The place is conveniently located.

Lucy is a very nice host and you will get all information you need on time:) The room is veeery nice, the bed very comfortable and everything you need is there. The location is perfect as well. I can really recommend you to stay in one of her rooms:)

Exactly what it says on the tin. Room was clean and well furnished.

Exactly what was needed, an excellent example of good airbnb

lovely stay in Lucy's house. She was very welcoming, and the room was clean, nice and comfortable. Thanks, Alexis

Nice room, easy to find, central location, looks exactly like pictures

Had a lovely time in Betty, just wish we had stayed longer!

secluded location, perfect for a relaxing break with all home comforts provided. loved every minute

A truly wonderful place to stay to explore the South Downs. It was beautiful weather when we stayed so we spent lots of time out on the private patio which was so relaxing with fabulous views. Thanks for having us - we hope to return!

What a find, we loved staying in this beautiful Bedford. Don't be afraid of it being chilly - its gets toasty in no time at all with the log burner on, and there's even a heated floor in the bathroom! Jack helped us out when we took a wrong turning on our way and when we arrived, we were welcomed by a candle lit in an already-warm Betty.

We had a fantastic stay in Betty and it was the perfect way to relax and see in the new year! Jack made our trip easy and welcoming. The place was super clean and tidy and very cosy. Waking up to the view here was stunning! Thank you for a great stay

Lovely location, perfect for a relaxing weekend! It's very private with great amenities, including a decking area where you can soak in the beautiful countryside! Would stay again!

We had an amazing weekend stay in Betty - the location and most importantly Betty herself were perfect! We were really comfortable during cold and stormy weather - the log burner and heater kept us really warm and cosy - and when it cleared up we had some lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. The East Meon circular walk (starting in E. Meon 5 mins drive or a nice 45 mins drive walk away) was awesome and the South Downs way were great. We had everything we could need for our stay supplied in Betty when we arrived (bring lots of food though!!) and the seperate bathroom with heated floor and amazing bath was awesome. Would definitely reccomend the car for exploring local areas, and the Thomas Lord and Ye Olde George Inn were great for dinner. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon! Amazing place for an escape and relax in really special accommodation!

Fantastic stay in the wonderful Betty! Jack has thought of everything and all I would recommend is to visit Lidl before arriving and stock up on some snacks and drinks for your stay. The DVD player and great sound system was a huge plus. Thank you! We WILL be back!

Howard was a brilliant host and his boat was amazing! Great communicator, met us whenever was convenient for us, and helped with any questions whilst on board Ziggy! Highly recommended

Definitely a unique experience. Cosy and quiet (unless there's a gale blowing). The marina cafe is nice and the showers are great. Perfect for a quiet getaway.

Lovely, unique way to spend a weekend. Howard was great and even though we arrived really late, he was very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Howard was a very welcoming host staying in touch and replying fast when needed. He took the time to give a mini tour and point out local points of interest. We enjoyed the stay on the boat, great fun for any glamping enthusiasts out there and well worth the experience for anyone seeking something a little different! Thank you very much

Very good - description very accurate - 'Zippy' is a cosy little yacht that was perfect for my stay. Bed comfortable and ideal for one! Marina facilities (toilets, showers, laundry etc.) excellent, with plenty of places within walking distance to eat. Good local links - Bursledon Station about 5 minute walk away. Howard an excellent host - picked me up from Portsmouth Station and very helpful/informative - all good!

Very pleasant experience to spend a night on this lovely boat. Everything was well prepared and we just had to get on board ! I highly recommend spending one or more nights.

The boat was excellent, has everything you need including power and the basics for cooking and drinks. Had a lovely time and a wonderful experience. Did hit my head a few times, but I was warned haha

A perfect new years eve stay! Howard was a great host and very helpful. The location is great with three nice pubs within walking distance of the marina.
