“Really beautiful location with the Avon River at the bottom of the garden and the wildlife it attracts.”

Steep steps up to the entrance but we were told about this before we booked. Lovely spacious room well laid out with everything you may need. The electricity is from a generator so everything that needs charging will take a bit longer. Only negatives were dirty grill and saucepan and the settee is very uncomfortable.

I am very sorry that you found that you had a dirty grill and saucepan if you had let me know I would have attended to it straightaway. The electricity is mains not from a generator. I am very pleased that you enjoyed the location. Property Owner

“Excellent cottage and location, comfortable and spacious.”

Owner friendly and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing in the cottage and the garden. Furniture and fittings of a high standard. A thoroughly enjoyable week. Little touches of wine, fresh flowers and milk were appreciated.

“I enjoyed a lovely stay at Avon Turn Barn.”

It’s fitted out with all you could need for a comfortable relaxing break with a welcoming bottle of wine lean the fridge on arrival. There was a bad storm with high winds that caused a power cut in the area. Even though the owners were abroad at the time, they somehow got to know of the power cut & contacted me by text to make sure I was ok & that restoration of power was underway. A very nice touch. For birdwatchers, it was a delight to see so many species of birds through the large barn window literally feet away. The gardens are lovely with a wonderful riverside platform which would be ideal to just sit & relax during the warmer months. Salisbury & it’s many interesting sites is minutes away & the New Forest only a short drive. Would definitely recommend Avon Turn Barn for a relaxing break.

Thank you for this feedback. We are happy to hear that you had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, despite the bad weather! We would be pleased to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“This is a lovely accomodation for two people.”

The place is like a very large hotel room with a kitchen area. There and everything we needed although a dishwasher would have been good but there was no room for one really. The only criticism we had was the sofa was really uncomfortable, the owners need to buy a new one. The location was beautiful right in the river Avon and it was very quiet. The gardens were lovely. We walked into Salisbury which was a couple of miles away. The pavement along the main road was a bit overgrown which made it difficult at times cos the traffic is fast along the main road. But after a while it widens and you can walk through the park for the last part. Salisbury is beautiful and we recommend the museum cafe for lunch. It's easy to get to Stonehenge, New Forest (approx 35 mins drive away) and Winchester (45 mins). We walked in the Nadder valley which is beautiful and only 20-30 mins away. Ester gave us some nice walking maps. To eat we would recommend the New Forest Inn, Rick Steins in Winchester, The Greyhound Inn in Wilton, museum cafe in Salisbury. The Green Dragon is walking distance away from Avon Turn, the food is ok. Overall a lovely holiday and very nice owners Chris and Ester.

“A Truly wonderful setting ,a great place to stay and to chill out .”

Sitting by the River Avon in the afternoon and evening was just really wonderful for us . There is a lot do and see in the surrounding area and plenty of NT properties to visit. We had marvellous weather so for us it was an extra bonus.

“This delightful barn is situated in a gorgeous tranquil setting with great views from the feature window.”

Well equipped home and kitchen. Plenty of wildlife around as well as 5 pairs of swans on the river. Visited Salisbury, Stonehenge, Kingston Lacy and Longleat Safari park whilst we were there.

“We really enjoyed our time at Avon Turn Barn.”

The country setting is amazing so close to Salisbury. The owners were friendly and helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Janice June 2019

“We loved the location of the accommodation.”

As wildlife enthusiasts we liked being able to sit by the river. We saw so many birds, including barn owl and kingfisher, and saw deer, hare, wood mice and water voles. The owners are very friendly but not at all intrusive. Perfect for us.

Mark May 2019

“Made welcome by owners who were very friendly.”

Good position for touring the area, Salisbury, Winchester, Portsmouth museum for Mary Rose and Victory and Weald and Downland Museum. The accommodation was clean, quiet and well maintained with nice surroundings.

“Holiday good as expected.”

Please give better directions to this property for future guests.

“A beautiful, extremely clean cottage.”

Wonderful views with easy access to Salisbury. No ice box in the fridge to freeze picnic blocks though. Also when driving south in the direction of the New Forest you cannot turn right onto the A36 (Southampton Rd) despite what your SatNav says, instead drive through Aldebury and approach A36 from there. I would recommend using the Park and Ride service for both Salisbury and Winchester.

Karen November 2018

“A beautiful, well appointed barn conversion with stunning views over the lawn to the River Avon.”

Very well designed layout, everything has been thought about and all to a high specification. The wealth of wildlife visible from the windows is amazing, could have spent all our time just watching the squirrels, pheasants, water fowl and other animals. Ideally located for Salisbury and the New Forest.

- Karen, November 2018
Marie October 2018

“A lovely location and beautifully appointed holiday barn.”

Although only three miles from Salisbury, it was so quiet and rural, with squirrels, pheasants and deer roaming freely in the amazing gardens.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“The barn is in a great location, about three miles south of Salisbury, on a peaceful stretch of the River Avon.”

It's perfect for 2 - open plan, cosy, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Ideally situated for trips into the New Forest (about 10-15 minutes drive) and surrounding area with the added bonus of being able to walk to a decent pub. There's an outdoor patio area, surrounded by a lovely walled garden and the owners allow use of a decked area next to the river when they are not using it (they live in the adjoining large house - very helpful but unobtrusive. You get the impression they really want guests to enjoy the barn which was built 2/3 years ago). We spent a week there in October and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“The cottage and grounds are excellent.”

Swans on the river, pheasant in the grounds make it seem surreal. Nice and comfortable.

“We have just returned from a week at Avon Turn Barn.”

What a wonderful place. The accommodation is new and spotless and the beautiful feature window looks over the gardens and the grazing sheep. Esther and Chris have thought of everything to make this a comfortable stay. Milk in the fridge, coffee and tea, a bottle of wine, fresh flowers. The bed is really comfortable and we took to having breakfast in bed, whilst watching the morning news and planning our day - pure luxury. Although we ate out a fair bit it was great to have our own kitchen facilities too - again, everything has been thought of. We had some fantastic walks and Chris was really helpful with suggestions of where we might enjoy. If you go to Salisbury cathedral try and get on a guided tour, it's free and makes it so much more interesting than wandering around on your own. I enjoyed this holiday so much more than sitting on a beach for a week, it was an absolute treat.

The property

Avon Turn Barn is set in a magical and utterly peaceful setting by the River Avon, in the grounds of an impressive country house.

The property provides stunning accommodation within an imaginatively designed, timber-clad barn.

The main living area is a large, open plan room where a 'Gothic', floor-to-ceiling window and skylights provide an immediate sense of light and space, displaying the barn's beautifully crafted, oak timber structure in all its glory.

Sit back and admire the restful views over the attractive, cob-walled kitchen garden and across the extensive lawn to the river, where an abundance of wildlife can be seen at all times of the day.

During the warmer months you can enjoy a barbecue on the paved patio area just below the barn or sit out and relax on the various garden benches overlooking the river. Please note this property only week long and Friday to Friday bookings

About the location

SALISBURY

Andover 17 miles; Southampton 23 miles

The medieval city of Salisbury is the jewel in Wiltshire's crown, dominated by the majestic 13th century Gothic cathedral. The cathedral offers 750 years of history including Britain's tallest spire, the world's best preserved original Magna Carta, and Europe's oldest working clock. The surrounding cathedral close, full of architectural gems, is bordered by the River Avon and ancient Chilmark stone walls. The city offers historic streets with charming half-timbered buildings, traditional pubs, characterful shops and a twice-weekly market. Or, stroll along the Town Path and take in the awe-inspiring views across the water meadows towards the cathedral. After dark, there's a thriving arts scene, including one of the country's leading repertory theatres, a lively arts centre, cinema and a wealth of independent restaurants. Should you want to explore further afield then a short drive from Salisbury takes you to Stonehenge, the National Trust's Stourhead House and gardens, majestic Wilton House, as well as the New Forest National Park, and the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. There's so much to see and do in Salisbury and surrounding area that your only concern will be finding the time to do it all!

Must be full weeks Friday-Friday only.
