“Property and surrounding location ideal for a quiet break.”

The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We would certainly return!

The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We would certainly return!

- Mr Taylor, September 2019
“A very comfortable place, with an excellent bath and shower and comfortable bed and sofa.”

Cooking in a cupboard was fun and perfectly adequate, everything worked perfectly. The view over the hills, with horses, was lovely. We enjoyed our meals at the Selborne Arms, a proper village pub, and Gilbert White’s house, Jane Austen’s house, Winchester, Portsmouth and Petworth were all in easy reach. A very peaceful and relaxing holiday altogether - we’ll be back!

- Ms Wright, September 2019
“We had a lovely time surrounded by beautiful country side.”

The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and we are in the process of looking at dates to re book for next year.

- Mr Bishop, August 2019
“This was an extremely lovely cottage which had all the facilities that we wanted.”

The owners, Sarah and Chris were very welcoming and wonderful hosts. Our dog Harvey especially loved the freedom of the garden and having a new friend in Banjo. This was an excellent base for undertaking walks and seeing Hampshire.

- Mr Oxley, July 2019
“Beautiful setting in rolling farmland with a delightful 10 minute walk into Selborne village.”

Owners live next door and are very helpful but never intrusive. Very clean and comfortable with lots of space for two or three people. The smaller bedroom has low ceilings and is entered via the main double bedroom but would suit a child. The kitchenette is tiny but we were able to cook full meals. The mini-oven is surprisingly good - it heats up quickly and cooks evenly right up to 220 deg C. Excellent shower. No washing machine but there is a drying rack which fits in the bath so hand-washing was easy. The storage heaters kept us cosy.

- Dr Bell, May 2019
“The Garden Studio was fine, the ‘kitchenette’ was adequate and worked well.”

The setting was beautiful. Just felt that the information about the area was very outdated, leaflets went back to 2013, in some cases but wifi was good so used iPad to seek information. Thank you for a very comfortable week.

- Mrs Lindsay, March 2019
“The lovely hosts Sarah & Chris were friendly and informative and couldn’t have been more helpful, whilst not being intrusive.”

The listing was accurate- a cosy space with everything we needed. Surrounded by gorgeous autumn shades of countryside- so peaceful yet close to some lovely villages & great walking routes. Magnificent stars on display on the cloudless nights with the limited light pollution- an extra bonus to our stay!

- Mr Coley, October 2018
“Thank you for such a warm welcome.”

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

- Ms Lisa Lovedale,
“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!

“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!

- Mrs Wood,
“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.

- Mr Basden,
“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.

- Guest's review on TripAdvisor,
“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!

- Mr Stewart Males,
“A warm welcome, a delightful cottage and sunny May weather: we spent a wonderful midweek in this cosy bolt hole.”

Thank you!

- Mr Bruno Linders,
“I had a lovely few days painting and walking in this beautiful place.”

The Studio became a real one! Perfect!

- Vivian French,
“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!

- Guest's review on TripAdvisor,
“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!).
