Summary: The rental was conveniently located within walking distance of the station and local pub. The Itchen Way was a superb route to walk into Winchester with an abundance of wildlife to see. Twyford is a short walk, having a well stocked shop, a gastro pub and a friendly local.

Summary: We had a lovely few days staying at The Down House Cottage which suited our requirements perfectly. Very clean, very comfy bed and with plenty of space for two. The log burner makes it very cosy in the colder months. Access to Winchester and beyond via the local train station is very good and we enjoyed a meal at The Bridge, all easily accessible on foot. With more time we would explore further afield and would return. The Owners very friendly and accommodating, thank you for a great stay.

Summary: Everything was fantastic! Only complaints were a slight struggle to initially find the property based on provided address and (I know it's a very minor complaint) we found the bed slightly firmer than comfortable. Thanks for everything Susan!
