“We had cancelled 4 holidays this year so this was our first time away.”

The cottage was just perfect for us and enabled us to relax. Pleasant walk to village over the fields with lunch at Selborne arms and a visit to Gilbert whites house and garden with home cooked meal and own brewed beer in whites cafe. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Cottage was very clean and well maintained, all in all a very pleasant week away. Great for visiting surrounding area particularly liked Farnham and Bills restaurant.

“This was a comfortable holiday cottage.”

Perhaps the kitchen facilities were slightly too small, but the views from the cottage were superb. Our dog loved it, very good local walks. A brilliant respite from the Covid life at home.

“The Cottage exceeded our expectations as the photos do not reveal how spacious the accommodation actually is.”

Despite having some things removed due to Covid-19 restrictions the facilities were as good, if not better, than we anticipated. The views were fabulous and the location, although in the countryside, was a 10 minute walk from the local pub, shop and other facilities. There are many walks from the cottage of which we only sampled one, but the owner provided information on the many options available. The furnishings were excellent and the cottage was very comfortable. The owner lives a short distance from the cottage and was very welcoming and friendly.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“The great advantages of the Garden Studio are that it's comfortable, it has lovely views onto the wooded hills above Selborne, it's within easy walking and driving distance of the village amenities, it's surrounded by wonderful walks, a few of them directly from the cottage, and the owner is warmly welcoming and helpful.”

The living room and main bedroom are comfortable and spacious; the small second bedroom (which we didn't use) would suit a child; and the bathroom is also spacious and works well. The kitchen facilities are limited and are part of the living room: they were absolutely fine for us for breakfasts, snacks and heating up quiches or eating cheese and crackers for our meal. The patio is small but well-sheltered and has that lovely view towards the hill. Parking is safe and easy. Walking distance is about 15 minutes to Selborne: the road is narrow with high hedges for a while so it's a lot nicer to go across the fields and along a woodland path. The only snag here is having to duck under a few fences, again no problem to us but perhaps to some people. The area is wonderful for walks: Selborne Common is an ancient and extensive woodland on the nearby hill; Noar Hill is an enchanting nature reserve of flower-filled meadows and woodland; and there are beautiful stretches on the Hampshire Hangar walk from Petersfield to Hawkley and onto Selborne and Alton. The Gilbert White Museum and Oates Collection in the village is well worth a half day's visit and there are other attractions nearby. The village amenities include the Selborne Arms, which does pretty good food and has a very nice garden; the Selborne Tea Shop, with delicious cream teas, and a local shop for the basics. We look forward to returning to Selborne for another holiday and hope to stay at the Garden Studio again!

“The garden studio was just what we wanted, a stylish, cosy place for two within walking distance of an old friend who lives in Selborne.”

The photos available nowadays and the reviews are a great help in choosing somewhere to stay, in this case we had no idea how close to the house we were until we arrived but that was not a problem at all and we did not feel overlooked, plus we could park very close to the Studio ( we do not travel light however much we try ). Altogether a very nice place to stay, we hope to go again.

“Very much enjoyed our stay.”

The Studio was perfect for us. West Dean Open Air Museum is a great place to visit on a sunny day and we also had pleasant excursions to Winchester and The New Forest. Hope we will be back!

This cottage was perfect for us and set in lovely countryside; the dog loved the fields on the doorstep. Thanks again.

“Thank you for providing us with a lovely, warm and cosy bolt hole for our Easter Holiday.”

Bailey enjoyed the run in the field in the morning and we enjoyed the spaciousness of The Studio.

“It has been a fantastic half term break.”

This is such a beautiful setting and our hosts have been kind and welcoming. We have enjoyed exploring The New Forest for the first time. The Queens pub in the village does exceptionally good grub including take away fish and chips which we can recommend!

“My partner and I booked the Garden Studio for a few weeks whilst we had building work carried out on our property.”

The studio suited us perfectly for the long term stay - it was clean, warm and well equipped. Mrs Robinson was very helpful and accommodating (they let me keep my rabbits in the garage). We would definitely recommend the place as it is also situated in Selborne - surrounded by lovely countryside with a variety of great pubs to explore. Thank you for giving us a place to call home during what was a difficult time for us!

“Bed, bath/shower/heating/lighting great!”

Even though we knew the â€˜little kitchenette & cooker were small' I found it all perfect for our needs. In particular, the little oven was brilliant - I cooked a small roast boneless chicken joint, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets for our xmas lunch on it (I wasn't sure if the oven temperature would be OK so started a lot earlier than I would have, so ended up having lunch a lot sooner than planned as oven was brilliant!).
