Our cosy barn has a spacious, open plan, newly fitted kitchen, dining area and sitting room on the ground floor with double bedroom (Kingsize bed), twin bedroom and shower room on the first floor. Complimentary soaps from The Lavender Fields at Selborne and welcome pack featuring local goodies. Free Wi-fi and Freeview television. The set up: Our barn is located on a quiet country lane. The barn is self contained and adjoins my creative studio from where I paint and manage my interior design consultancy. It is situated next to (but detached from) our family home and whilst it enjoys a large amount of privacy, we are on hand to offer advice or to answer any questions during your stay. There is an outside seating area exclusively for the use of our guests. Getting here: Alton is the closest town (less than 10 minutes drive), with direct trains to London Waterloo in just over an hour. Guildford is a half hour drive with direct trains to London Gatwick Airport. For drivers, the village is located off the A32, approximately an hours drive from South West London. Things to do and places to visit: Set on the edge of The South Downs National Park, on the "Writers Way" the barn is an ideal base for walkers, with several beautiful walks straight from the front door. We are also in the heart of Jane Austen country with the pretty village of Chawton a leisurely half hour walk away through woodland and open fields (or short drive), where the Jane Austen House Museum and Chawton House are located. The naturalist, Gilbert White's House and the Oates Collection is located in the pretty village of Selborne, a short drive away, where more beautiful walks can be found and an excellent cafe. A 20 minute drive to the south is the stunning market town of Alresford and for opera fans, we are ideally located for the Grange Festival. The nationally acclaimed annual Alresford Watercress Festival which takes place in May, is an event not to be missed! Just 10 minutes further down the road is historic Winchester with its beautiful cathedral and a plethora of independent shops. The south coast is approximately 50 minutes drive, with an extensive number of beaches to choose from. There are a number of National Trust properties within easy reach, such as Hinton Ampner, Uppark House and The Vyne. For train enthusiasts, the heritage Watercress Line runs steam train trips between Alton and Alresford. Food and drink: Waitrose, Sainsburys, Aldi, Lidl and M&S Food are located in Alton with delivery available to the barn from Waitrose and Sainsburys. If you don't fancy cooking, the atmospheric Rose and Crown is a short and pleasant stroll away through the village and offers delicious lunches and dinners, but be sure to book in advance as they do get very busy. There are plenty of other dining experiences available within a short drive and I am more than happy to provide recommendations. Please note that we only accept bookings for a maximum of two week holiday stays. We are not available for short term lets or for contract workers. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

Its ideal location allowed us to customize our visit daily, depending on whether we felt up for the bustle of London or a stroll down historic pathways. Some days were spent enjoying just walks around the Hay Barn which offered sights of farmland, forests, and sheep. The Hay Barn itself was thoughtfully equipped with everything a family of four could need and after a weary transatlantic flight, we were welcomed with a lovely hamper of treats and fresh flowers. Susannah and her husband were so welcoming and accommodating. Beautifully decorated and spacious, it was always a welcome sight to return to after a chaotic day in London or a day of sightseeing in Winchester. Our family had an amazing vacation and were sad to leave. We purchased one of Susannah’s lovely paintings of the nearby church so that we could have a piece of our trip to take with us until we can return. ##### Abbie C.

The owner very kindly provided us with two powerful fans when the 'heatwave' struck. Would definitely stay again if in the area. ##### Melanie E.

The property was clean, comfortable and was very well equipped to meet all our needs. Excellent communication with Susannah before we arrived and received a very warm welcome. Had a lovely meal at the local pub and there is easy access to a variety of walks from the doorstep. We would highly recommend a stay at The Hay Barn and hope to return in the near future. ##### Caroline P.

It’s been newly furnished and really beautifully done with every comfort thought of, from the well-provided kitchen and comfortable beds to things like bread and jam on arrival. We particularly liked the decor and thought it created a cosy and peaceful atmosphere. The area is beautiful and we went for several circular walks which are available from the doorstep. Susannah was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We would thoroughly recommend! ##### Sarah H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane B. 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Hay Barn We spent two weeks in The Hay Barn, a complete and welcome contrast from city life. The village setting is bucolic, and the barn had all the modern amenities you could possibly want. Our host Susannah was wonderfully welcoming and responded immediately to any queries we had. Highly recommended and will definitely return! ##### Jane B.
