About this property

Riverside Cottage - A cosy home near Winchester

Riverside cottage is a cosy home from home, situated in the quaint village of Shawford. Recently refurbished and with stunning river views, it is the perfect base to explore Winchester and the beautiful British countryside.

The cottage is very close to Shawford Mainline Train Station, with direct trains to Winchester, London Waterloo and Southampton Airport Parkway. We also have a private parking space for you to use during your stay.

On the ground floor you will find a cosy living room, a dining area and kitchen, leading through to an airy conservatory with views of the garden. The conservatory is a lovely spot to relax with a cup of tea and a newspaper.

Upstairs, the pretty master bedroom is located to the front of the house. It’s beautifully decorated and has views out towards the river.

The second bedroom is cosy and snug, and again has lovely riverside views. The brand new bathroom is very spacious and comprises of both a bath with a shower, and a separate walk in shower. Fluffy towels and high quality linen will be provided for your stay.

The garden is lovely and you can sit out with a coffee and enjoy the surroundings.

Schönes, komfortables Häuschen

Es hat uns im River Cottage gut gefallen. Vor allem der kurze Weg zum Bahnhof war angenehm, wir sind mit dem Zug nach Winchester gefahren. Vielen Dank für Tee, Milch und Croissants. Gefehlt hat uns, dass keine Informationen über die Geräte vorhanden waren, z.B. haben wir nicht rausgefunden, wie die Dusche über der Badewanne funktioniert hätte. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin über Vrbo war mit dem Mobilphone nicht möglich.

Despite the weather it was a great holiday

The coldest, complete with almost continuous rain, ( and for good measure a bit of snow), could not prevent us have a splendid time here in the lovely Hampshire countryside. Just a few hundred yards from the station, and railway passes just 100 yards from the cottage, which is actually an end terrace house. This would be a superb location in the (warmer) spring and summer with the picturesque and historic Itchen Navigation - plenty of wildlife and great walking. The house has designated parking, although we managed very well with the nearby train service. The lounge is compact, but has space for 2 sofas, smart television, electric heating. The kitchen is galley style with oven (not shown in the pictures!) hobs, washing machine, dishwater fridge / freezer and plenty of cutlery / crockery. At the far end of the kitchen is an attractive conservatory with views of the waterway. Upstairs there is a great bathroom, the master bedroom is extremely comfortable, whilst the second bedroom has small single - only suitable for younger children. Great base to explore Winchester, Winchester, Basingstoke, Bishop's Waltham and Marwell Zoo. Certainly a place to relax.
