Exceptional Service

Inside, the property exudes warmth and sophistication, thoughtfully designed with a harmonious mix of antiques and contemporary touches. The parquet flooring softened with rugs, and the beamed ceilings throughout create an inviting and authentic ambience.

The kitchen is a culinary haven, featuring an old pine breakfast table with seating for six, an induction hob, dual ovens, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The dining room, centered around an inglenook fireplace, boasts a fruitwood table that comfortably seats six, making every meal a memorable experience.

The sitting room is equally enchanting, offering two elegant three-seater sofas, two tapestry-covered chairs, a flat-screen TV and an open fireplace—perfect for unwinding after a day of riverside activities.

Children will delight in the whimsical ‘secret’ bedroom, a magical space with a small door and a beamed ceiling. This cosy twin bedroom captures the imagination and is always a favourite. Meanwhile, the remaining two king-size and double bedrooms promise restful nights with plush beds dressed in Egyptian cotton linens, accompanied by fluffy towels and thoughtful touches like hair dryers, fans and eco-friendly toiletries.

The outdoor spaces elevate its charm to the extraordinary. The outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, shaded by a glass roof entwined with grapevines, offers an unparalleled alfresco dining experience. Fully equipped with gas and kettle BBQs, an oven, induction hob, two fridges, a dishwasher, and a butler sink, it combines functionality with breathtaking views of the flower-filled gardens and the serene river.

As the sun sets, the festoon lighting and outdoor ceiling heaters create an atmospheric backdrop for evening gatherings, whether sipping fine wine or indulging in gourmet delights.

Location

The neighbourhood

Depart directly from the cottage’s private pontoon to explore tranquil upriver hideaways or head down river to watch the boating activity, and further on to the historic village, Hamble-le-Rice.

The cottage offers an unforgettable family holiday with endless activities and adventures right on your doorstep. Situated beside the river, the cottage is perfectly placed for water-based fun, including canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, all of which can be hired locally, or chartering Gull, a classic 15ft electric clinker launch seating up to eight, with options for a skipper or bareboat charter and a picnic.
