About this property
Hang Your Hat - The Cottage
Styled for visitors seeking a stylish or romantic bolthole, a place to enjoy some relaxation time and from where to visit the delights of Winchester. Perfect for the traveller who wants to relax and chill at the end of the day, a book by a log fire, a glass of wine, or watch the sun go down in the courtyard garden.
It's just a short walk to the centre of the city with its award winning restaurants and pubs, nestled around the oldest High Street in England. Close by you have the Cathedral and beautiful walks through the Water Meadows where Keats was inspired to write 'Ode To Autumn'.
You have space for dining and for entertaining colleagues and friends, there is a fully equipped kitchen to simply do your own thing, or should you wish our caterers can make any arrangements you need.
There is a candle lit steam room to indulge in, gentle underfloor heating with oak and limestone floors, art on the walls, fine linen and robes in the bathroom, a Jetmaster open fire with seasoned logs supplied. There is Wi-Fi for your laptop, or should you wish entertainment with Sky, a comprehensive DVD collection, champagne or wine, and a fine malt in the study, organic free range eggs, all complimentary with your stay.
Stroll into the courtyard and the private garden to find the stone, cut over a 1000 years ago, part of a mullioned window of Hyde Abbey, the resting place of King Alfred The Great whose bones are now thought to be buried in the local churchyard of St Bartholomew's.

About the host
Hosted by Mike

I am a scientist working part time in the NHS. I have stayed in villas, cottages, hotels and apartments in some diverse places. For me, it is how a place makes you feel when you walk in, explore it and stay a while. Hang Your Hat is like a warm embrace, welcoming and friendly. Well equipped and cared for. Just what I would have liked to have found in the many places I have stayed around the UK and abroad. It provides this in an honest and unpretentious manner.. a place to simply Hang Your Hat.
Why they chose this property
I love old buildings, they have a character and charm, a patina of history, that you cannot just create. It is a beautiful brick and flint brewery workers cottage built in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, 1843. For a small cottage it has a tremendous sense of space with a magical courtyard garden. It is in a quiet street in one of the oldest parishes of the city and yet just a short walk into the centre of town. Even nearer are two great pubs The Hyde Tavern and Mucky Duck, fantastic walks, a Theatre, a Library and the train station to London. It ticked all the boxes. Somewhere to feel at home.
What makes this property unique
Imagine your own private suite, as if in your own private hotel. The warmth of an open fire, or the steam room, or to sit out in the courtyard garden and enjoy the evening air.
The study can provide a close-by separate space for baby (up to 12 months). Ideal for a getaway break. Highchair available.
