“Little Owl was perfect for us, and we want to rent it again.”

“This is a lovely looking cottage in a small village with a shop.”

Wonderful garden, and great to have an outside room in the form of the garden playroom. Countryside and walking around is beautiful. Cottage has everything that you need for a holiday. Felt very safe as cleaning was to a high standard. Rooms downstairs are very warm and welcoming. Tip - bring one or two cushions as cushions on sofa have been removed due to COVID-19 precautions, and they are very deep sofas. Bedrooms upstairs have sloped walls as in the eaves, need to take care when getting out of bed in one of the rooms. Beds were too soft for us, though duvet very comfortable. We enjoyed our week.

“We are regular visitors to Little Owl, as we love this cottage, the garden and the surrounding area of Froxfield.”

As always, the house was very clean, well-equipped and comfortable, thanks to the helpful couple who look after Little Owl. The welcome basket of wine, locally made honey soap, and chocolate and orange cookies, also included some much appreciated treats for our two dogs. We pre-booked tickets for our visits to Exbury, Mottisfont and Hinton Ampner for long walks and picnics, and returned to The Pub With No Name for meals in their garden area, which is in walking distance of Little Owl. As the sun goes down on fine evenings in Froxfield, we sit in the garden of the cottage watching the bats and listening to the hoots of the owls that sit in the huge oak trees that stand between the cottage and the village church. We are looking forward to returning to Little Owl next Spring.

“Little Owl is a beautiful cottage set in fabulous grounds.”

It didn't matter that it rained every day - the cottage was just what the doctor ordered - getting out of London! The only downside was that some of the crockery was dirty, the lid to an oven dish had previously been broken but was 'glued' together. The beautiful wooden cupboards in the kitchen need a good clean the insides were dirty. The shower cubicle had mould. As there is a dishwasher on site I would suggest after each rental all crockery & utensils are in the placed in dishwasher for a quick wash.

“Christmas Holiday”

We stayed here with wife , 2 girls and our dog and I must say that the cottage is one of the best equipped and stunning places we have spend Christmas at over the 20 year we have been going away for. The cottage was warm and the gifts left for us on arrival were the icing on the cake. The little shop in the village is handy too along with the pub with no name ( white horse) all staff were friendly and would highly recommend a visit. We will be booked again for this year. Keep up the good work The hulse family.

“Beautiful cottage, will certainly recommend to friends and family.”

The walk around the Hangers was stunning (just a little muddy). The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The local pub, The Troopers Inn, did some lovely food. They even opened early for us - would certainly love to come back for another stay!

“Thank you for a lovely stay in the comfortable and cosy cottage.”

It certainly hit the mark for a much needed restful break. Plenty of lovely pubs nearby to eat in (Trouper Inn, Hawkley Inn). We ran the Rubix Chilli Hilly on the Saturday which was very wet and muddy - so very thankful to have a warm cottage to come back to!! Will certainly stay here again. Many thanks.

“We have had the most marvellous week, beautiful relaxing cottage in a super location.”

The weather has been perfect. We have travelled the area - a trip down memory lane. The pub with no name is a must. Also, the ploughman's lunch at The Harrow Inn at Steep is highly recommended. The cottage is fully equipped with all essentials and the garden is lovely. We will recommend to family and friends, without hesitation. Thank you!

“A wonderful cottage in a quiet village.”

Well equipped, the welcome bottle of prosecco was a lovely touch. The steep stairs may be difficult for disabled guests.

“Thanks for such a wonderful time.”

Sitting in the garden we had all the peace to properly relax and the little ones were totally amazed by all the toys. We definitely would have loved to stay longer.

“We've had a lovely holiday in this pretty cottage.”

The children loved their 'own's stairs to the bedroom. Our dog loved the safely enclosed garden and we all enjoyed visiting the many interesting places which were new to us all.\ Thank you for the welcome pack, especially the new toy for Josee. Thanks for everything.

“We had a wonderful 'English' Christmas in this amazing cottage.”

We were super impressed with the Xmas decorations. All our friends who saw the cottage on our facebook photos thought it should be on a chocolate box! Many thanks; our 10 year old daughter's dream of sleeping under a thatched roof has come true!

“All enjoyed a lovely holiday in a lovely cottage, surrounded by beautiful countryside views.”

We would recommend the Fox Goes in Charlton and The Earl of March in Lavant, both served great food.

“It was very welcoming to arrive at Little Owl with the lights on and it was warm and cosy indoors.”

Thank you for the lovely welcome gifts. We have very much enjoyed our holiday here discovering the beautiful conuntryside. We can definitely recommend the local pub "with no name".

“Beautiful Cottage!”

We all had a lovely time staying here. Trooper Inn & Hawkley Inn were great. Thank you. I must say also how nice it was to arrive to a lovely & clean house!

“We've thoroughly enjoyed our week in this little charming cottage.”

The fireplace was enjoyable to use and the garden has received a good deal of care, making it a delight to be in. Our cat also seemed to enjoy chattering with the local birds - she is a talker rather than a hunter. Winchester was quite beautiful. This was our first time in Hampshire - we were impressed. We discovered some great pub food nearby, including the Thomas Lord and The Hawkley Inn. \ All in all a great holiday in a very nice part of England. Thank you!

“Beautiful, comfortable cottage.”

Well equipped & with all the essentials provided - many thanks for that. Well located for exploring. Here is some of what we did: \ Hawkley Inn walk - quite demanding, especially coming back.\ Winchester - flying visit.\ Portsmouth Historic docks - great but would have needed more time. \ Hinton Ampner - National Trust property nearby - really good.\ Bike ride in New Forest, from Brockenhurst - lovely. \ We were busy!

“Little Owl lived up to its photos and descriptions on the web.”

We had a family get together and celebrated a first birthday with parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle. We could not have asked for a more cosy, welcoming and charming environment. The family enjoyed the lawn and had a fun afternoon playing croquet. The living room with its fireplace made for great conversations and games. The kitchen was well-equipped and we were impressed with the abundance and quality of crockery and cutlery and not to miss the cooking range (a chef's delight). We noticed that painstaking thought and planning have gone into the big items as well as the small. Thank you for making our experience so memorable.

“On arrival the cottage was a welcome and pretty sight.”

A super, quiet, private retreat. The first morning we awoke to the September golden sun dappling through the trees on our bedroom windows and the chirpy singing of the robin. Perfection! Little Owl covered all our needs and more - Thank you so much for the 'Welcome Pack' - it was a very kind gesture. Pip, our miniature Schnauzer, was extremely happy with his new toy, and abandoned those he brought. A lovely, lovely cottage. Thank you.

The property

Stroll up the brick path leading to the front door of Little Owl and you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time.

With its traditional brick and flint exterior and thatched roof, this cottage really is picture perfect and makes a delightful country retreat in the heart of the village of High Cross.

Perfect for spending time away with family or friends.

While the cottage has a number of surprisingly spacious rooms, it is at the same time very cosy and comfortably furnished, with everything you could need for your stay.

You'll love the unique kitchen with its bespoke units crafted from antique pine as well as the fabulous roll-top bath, allowing you to take a long soak after a busy day.

Outside you'll find yet more delights awaiting.

Not only is the garden pretty and secluded, but there is an amazing garden room, with plenty of space for the kids to play, and a thatched summerhouse with a croquet set - the garden is perfect for whiling away a few hours in the summer sun.

All in all this is a popular place to stay in a deservedly popular region - a first rate choice for your next holiday!

About the location

PETERSFIELD

Chichester 16 miles

This Hampshire market town rests in the heart of the South Downs National Park and comes bursting with culture and charm. There is much going on in and around Petersfield, with eccentric festivals and fairs, traditional markets, theatres, museums and immaculate gardens to roam during the summer. Also find pubs and bars of the highest quality, some serving delicious food to recharge those batteries during a day of exploration. For something different, stroll around Heath Pond or enjoy a round of golf on the outskirts of the town. Walk or cycle right from your doorstep through unimaginably fine scenery which can lead you through rolling countryside and to a number of pretty villages. The South Coast is slightly further afield, find a number of popular spots including Portsmouth, Bognor Regis and Brighton within driving distance.

Please be aware there are steep stairs leading to the twin room so children should be supervised, thank you.

Please note the owners would like to advise during this unprecedented time, that the Cottage is being thoroughly disinfected before each rental.
