Located in the village of Soberton, the lodge sits within the beautiful Meon Valley in the heart of the South Downs National Park. This is an excellent base for walking, cycling and exploring rolling countryside. Just under a mile away is The White Lion, a traditional village pub serving food and drinks. Why not enhance your stay and unwind with some equine interaction sessions, overseen by the host Chery Griffiths, qualified in equestrian pursuits.
A gentle stroll through the meadows leads to the River Meon at Droxford, a charming village known for its chalk stream and historic church. All Saints Church, Droxford dates from the mid to late twelfth century and is a fine example of early Norman architecture.
For a wider choice of shops and places to eat, the historic market town of Bishop’s Waltham and the village of Wickham are around six miles away. Further afield, visitors can explore Winchester, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays and Marwell Zoo.

For those seeking a peaceful, rural location this is ideal and within a 15 minute drive from the beautiful and interesting city of Winchester and also within easy reach of Portsmouth and Southampton. Good walking area with beautiful scenery. The lodge is clean, tidy, comfortable avd well equipped. The hosts, Cheryl and Matt were very helpful and available. Key access and directions were NOT provided by Cottages.com but the hosts contact a few days before holiday start date to provide this. It would have been helpful if this procedure is clearly stated on cottages.com paperwork. Agents please note and action.
