The space Flint Cottage is a lovingly renovated Grade II listed cottage in the centre of the thatched village of Wherwell in Hampshire. The cottage is 40 metres to our village pub (White Lion, currently closed due to renovation) and walking distance to two other pubs - one is next to the River Test (The Mayfly - see The Guardian's 2022 UK's 20 best waterside pubs) and the other is in the next village of Chilbolton (Abbots Mitre). All three serve tasty meals. Cooked breakfasts are available at the village shop/cafe in Chilbolton, at the Longstock Park Cafe (the Waitrose & Partners Farm Estate, Shop and Cafe) and at Thyme & Tides Deli in Stockbridge . Wherwell has a beautiful common with the River Test running through it which is ideal for walking, as is Harewood Forest and the Test Way, all accessible by foot from the cottage. Walking maps and details of local attractions are available in the cottage. Our local vineyard, Black Chalk, provides tours and tastings, and often Friday evening pop-up food (see their website for details). The cottage is self contained, centrally heated and comprehensively equipped, e.g. TV, wifi, wood burner (logs supplied), DVD, hairdryer, iron, etc and a fully kitted kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, and access on request to a washing machine and dryer. The holiday cottage garden has table and chairs, and we have a hot-tub in our own garden next door that our guests can enjoy by prior arrangement at the time of booking. The hot tub is located in a secluded part of our garden with easy access from the holiday cottage garden. We live in the cottage next door so are on hand if help is required but we always respect your privacy. We are near to Stockbridge (4 miles) with its pretty High Street and independent shops and restaurants, and the historic cities of Winchester (10 miles) and Salisbury (20 miles). There is a village shop/cafe in Chilbolton (the next village), a Co-op in Stockbridge and a selection of large supermarkets in Andover (5 miles). The cottage is ideally placed for walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding and golf. There is a wealth of information in the cottage about local attractions, restaurants and places to visit, such as the Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery, Stonehenge and Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey). Our continental breakfast welcome pack includes coffee, tea, sugar, milk and orange juice, plus croissants or bread, and butter and jam. We can supply more provisions on request at cost. The cottage has easy access from London, and is 1 mile from the A303 and close to the M3. The nearest railway station is Andover (5 miles), and if we are available and by prior arrangement we can collect guests and return them to the station. We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely holiday home.
