Brockwood Farmhouse West Meon

Brockwood Farmhouse is in West Meon, Hampshire. It's set at the top of a valley on an organic farm so the views over the fields are huge. It's very quiet, just sheep and birds.

It sleeps ten, in five bedrooms. There are three bathrooms. We take one pet. The rating is five star. The house has been done up to a very high standard. It's comfortable, and everything works.

There are two woodburners, one in the main sitting room and one in the snug. The kitchen is big and has an AGA and a normal oven as backup. There are two dishwashers and a big fridge freezer. Bedding and towels are provided, and there's a washing machine and drier. There's underfloor heating on the ground floor.

The main thing outside is the swimming pool. It's large and heated. The garden is laid out as different sections around the house, with places to sit. There's a croquet lawn, a barbecue, and a terrace with an outdoor fireplace.

You're in the South Downs National Park. For walking, you can step right out onto the footpaths. The South Downs National Park site has maps and ideas.

West Meon village has a shop and a very good pub, about a ten minute drive away. Winchester is about half an hour's drive. Petersfield and Alton are closer, about fifteen minutes, for supermarkets and other shops.

The South Coast beaches, like those around Hayling Island, are about 45 minutes away. Goodwood and Cowdray Park for motorsport or polo are within a 45 minute drive too.

Facilities to note: the pool is available from May to September. There's parking for several cars on the gravel drive. We include a cot and a highchair. There's WiFi and a TV. Cleaning is provided twice a week during your stay.
