About this property

Lovely Holiday Cottage

A Victorian Brick and Flint Stable Block converted into a two bedroom luxury holiday cottage in the heart of the Meon Valley and within the South Downs National Park. The Stables have been sympathetically converted and retain the high ceiling and wooden beams in the main living area. PLEASE NOTE WHEN WORKING OUT RATES - A 2 NIGHT STAY IS 50% of weekly rate - 3 N 60% -4N 70% . If the rates for two nights do not work out at this , please do get in touch and I will edit the rate. Always worth getting in touch re prices - the new way prices are worked out on VRBO make it tricky to get the 3 and 4 night breaks at the correct price - so don't be put off - get in touch :) Please note we do only allow one dog - no cats!

Peaceful country cottage

The Stables proved a homely, relaxing country experience within a beautiful setting. The village is only minutes walk away and is a true piece or rural Britain where people stop and say hello, talk in the general store and where time seems to stand still. The host, Victoria, baked delicious gluten free brownies and provided a lovely starter kit for our stay. Communication was A1 and we were made most welcome, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A most enjoyable weekend stay and great hosts.

Location chosen due to a wedding venue. Location beautiful and accommodation very satisfying. On arrival Friday we had a problem with the car which could not be fixed until the Sunday. Victoria went out of her way to take us to the wedding venue on the Saturday and pick us up later in the evening. This was more than expected. A most enjoyable weekend and great hosts. We will certainly book the accommodation again if the need arises to go back to the location.

Great base

Lovely propery and helpful owner. Arrived to find a plate of delicious brownies, bottle of wine and sausages and bacon in the freezer. The spare bed had been set up in the main bedroom to suit our sleeping arrangements.However, it could do with a deep clean as it was quite dusty with many spider webs. We could see a thick layer of dust on the beams and had to clean the towel rail before putting our flannels on it.Wi-fi was not brilliant though we were not there much to use it. Uploading videos taken at Wickham Festival was lengthy and laboured to say the least. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Great cottage in the countryside

We spent 11 nights in this beautiful cottage in a quiet village. The associated farm is right next door.There was a warm welcome with brownies and wine by our hosts. For 4 adults the cottage is really spacious and it is well equipped. The car park is on the premises.

Lovely farm cottage in West Meon

A lovely 2 bedroomed cottage on a farm/beside farm buildings. The property was just 1 mile from West Meon … within walking distance, with a pavement most of the way. The kitchen was well equipped - and also had a dishwasher and washing machine. Comms with Victoria were excellent and finding the property was straight forward. Overall - it is a great location if you want to walk the Meon Valley trail

We arrived to torrential rain. The host had left the heating and lights on for us, which felt so welcoming. There were lots of goodies for us to enjoy too- especially the brownies! The host had thought of everything- thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Cobden

Host profile image
Westbury Manor Stables are owned by Simon and Victoria Cobden. They live a couple of hundred yards from the Stables so are available to answer any queries you may have whilst you are on holiday. Simon is a farmer whilst Victoria helps on the farm and looks after their two children and The Stables

Why they chose this property

Westbury Manor Farm was bought by Mr and Mrs Cobden snr in 1973 and the family have lived there ever since. The Stables are owned by their eldest son Simon and his wife Victoria - they were converted from stables to a lovely holiday cottage in 2012. It is lovely to live on a farm in a rural setting but also have all the amenities you could possibly need just a few miles away.

What makes this property unique

The Stables are on the edge of a working farm and whilst guests must be aware farms can be dangerous places due to tractors and machinery, there is the opportunity to see newborn lambs and calves at certain times of the year. Lovely walking area within the South Downs National Park. The Stables have been converted to a great standard but retain the character of the Victorian building
