After many years living in Marlow bringing up a young family and my husband Rob commuting to London and abroad for business we decided it was time for a change. We fell in love with the area and these barns and bought them in November 2011. We live on site in an old calving shed that we converted and built in 2013 with our 2 teenage boys, our dog Indie and our growing number of chickens.

Sarah purchased this barn in 2011

The Test Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are surrounded by stunning scenery and the River Test famous for its fly fishing and other country pursuits. We are extremely lucky to have fantastic high quality eateries and farm shops on our doorstep and fantastic independent shops in Stockbridge, Winchester and Salisbury. The whole area is surrounded by amazing things to see and do and only being a 10 minute drive into the New Forest or 30 minutes to the sea means that we can have the best of both worlds.

The Old Barns is a beautifully converted barn consisting of 4 one bedroom cottages. If you want to get together with some friends and family it is possible to rent all 4 cottages. We welcome well behaved dogs and it is possible to accommodate additional children in some of the cottages. The barn conversion has been carried out in a rustic style while keeping all the home comforts you would expect. The cottages are very generous for 2 people and as with many of our guests I am sure you will keep coming back. We have access onto the Test Way from the top of our driveway giving you access to miles of beautiful country walks or just a short drive away is the New Forest, the coast or the cities of Winchester or Salisbury. We are absolutely spoiled for choice with good places to eat all within 5 miles and there is a lovely local pub just 1 mile from the cottage.

Mobile and wifi are available at the property, but due to our location we do not guarantee these and some mobile providers do not get good reception here.
