Lovely location with views across the horses' fields. For five guests, the space is a little bit tight, and the fifth person had to sit on a bean bag as the sofas are really only two-person sofas. Near to Salisbury as well as numerous New Forest walks. The local pub is five minutes down the road, just watch out for winter hours as it's not open on Read moreMondays and Tuesdays, very friendly. There are more places to eat in nearby Downton. Hide
