Silverland is in Hordle, Hampshire. It’s a thatched cottage, detached and surrounded by its own fields. No close neighbours.
It sleeps 14 people, which is a lot. Seven bedrooms, four bathrooms. It’s got a 4 Star rating. The garden is about four acres. There’s a heated outdoor swimming pool, which you get to from the kitchen. There are two big lawns, a BBQ, and a space for ball games.
