About this property

Enchanting Cottage - South Downs National Park

The cottage is situated in the tiny hamlet of Blendworth in the South Downs National Park, between Horndean and Rowlands Castle. It is a rebuilt foaling box and fully equipped for self-catering. The vaulted living space gives it a stunning wow factor! We leave a hamper of basics and fresh flowers to welcome our guests and get them started. It has its own terrace with fragrant herb-filled raised borders.and faces a charming sunny courtyard with a walnut tree and a vine-clad pergola with a large table and chairs for alfresco dining. There is spectacular walking on the South Downs Way and some of the best cycling on and off road straight from the doorstep! Extensive gardens and a private tennis court available by arrangement with the owners.

Fantastic stay

Lavender Cottage has everything you could want or need. It is charmingly decorated and has a wonderful soaking tub after a nice day’s walking in the area. The hosts were extremely accommodating. I’ve been traveling around the UK for 14 years and this was one of the nicest places I’ve found. I’d highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sally Lang

Sally and Richard have lived in the farmhouse for 35 years. We had lived in the Middle East for a few years and had a dream that we would find an old farmhouse in the county we both grew up in, to bring up our family. This is it! We converted this old farm building (originally a foaling box) into an enchanting holiday cottage in 2015. Since then we have had 5 star reviews from everyone who has stayed here. We look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of Hampshire so you can discover for yourself how wonderful it is!

Why they chose this property

We love this tranquil rural location. It is near the coast and yet so close to Chichester, Portsmouth, Winchester, Petersfield and all the sporting and cultural activities that take place in this part of the country. There is masses to see and do for all tastes and times of the year! We are only an hour from London, so also ideal for a long weekend break.

What makes this property unique

You could spend a cosy winter weekend walking and curled up reading by the fire, or in the summer you could explore local beaches and try watersports. You could play golf at one of half a dozen spectacular courses. There is fabulous scenery and walking on the South Downs Way. There are some of the most beautiful cycle routes on and off road right from our doorstep. You could bring your paints and find some stunning subject matter in the landscape, or you could go birdwatching in Pagham. You could check out the local historical sites, or visit modern art galleries and sculpture parks or gardens in Chichester and Winchester.

There is so much to do locally, that it is difficult to list it all here. We have created a 'house book' which is full of ideas of places to go, and things to do.

There are lots of local pubs and restaurants if you don't want to cook!
