The Cottage at Ripsley has a private gate that opens directly onto the South Downs, (no roads need to be crossed). We're situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Dark Skies within the South Downs National Park - there are beautiful walk and cycle trails on your doorstep yet you're only a one hour trains journey away from central London. The Cottage at Ripsley is a great place to get away from it all yet well placed for beach and city day trips - there's a huge choice of places to visit nearby, on the coast, in local cities and towns and in the countryside. We send all guests prior to their arrival a PDF that covers recommended walks/cycle routes, places to visit, local recommended pubs/restaurants and a wide variety of outdoor sports and activities that can be prebooked before your stay. We are close to Chichester, Portsmouth, Southhampton, Winchester, Goodwood, Witterings beaches and pretty market towns such as Midhurst and Farnham are in easy reach while Liphook train station ( 3 min drive from the cottage) takes you to Waterloo in an hour. Great for cyclists, walkers, couples and families. The cottage has a sunny patio area with BBQ and furniture for sitting outside, this leads onto the large lawn with badminton and a football net. Garden games such as giant chess and cricket are stored in the cottage for your use . The azalea grove is next to the cottage, this has a fire pit and is a peaceful, lovely area to relax in in the evening. BTW we have a 7 yr old chocolate labrador called Maddie who you may see, she has no access to the cottage. We can let you know of local food delivery services and if you require extra help with housekeeping, washing and ironing we can arrange this with prior notice. THE COTTAGE SPACE : There are two sitting areas, one in the kitchen/sitting room area upstairs and downstairs in the sitting room/games room where the TV/DVD is situated as well as the double sofa bed and downstairs w/c, pool table and table tennis. Apart from central heating there are two woodburning stoves - one in the sitting room/games room, the other in the master bedroom. A basket of logs and kindling is supplied and the log shed for top ups and the fire pit is situated in the azalea grove. The downstairs sitting room has a table tennis table, DVDs, board games and a pool table. There is smart 52” TV, great for cosy nights in and there is a library of DVD's in the bookcase . In the sitting area there is a woodburning stove and a double sofa bed. Upstairs there is a shower room with power shower with w/c , an ensuite bath to the master bedroom and a w/c downstairs. The second bedroom has a double bed and a sleigh day bed that can also be used as a cot bed for children up the age of 9yrs. There is room in both bedrooms for a truckle mattress. Guest access : The entire cottage is available to guests and there is a separate entrance to the cottage. Parking is available for up to three cars. Outdoor and indoor toys/boardgames are available as well as a football net, fire pit and tree swing in the garden. Other games include croquet, Badminton and cricket.
