Westlands Farm Shop is approximately a five-minute walk away, offering local produce and useful treats for your stay. The Wickham Festival site is around a ten-minute walk from the cottage, making this an especially convenient base for the popular annual music festival.

Historic Wickham, Bishop’s Waltham and the beautiful Meon Valley are all within easy reach. Portsmouth is approximately 15–20 minutes away in light traffic, with Victorious Festival taking place on Southsea Common over the August bank-holiday weekend. Festival traffic can significantly increase journey times, so advance travel planning is recommended.
Close by you will find a restaurant and leisure club. Subject to availability, visitors can currently arrange a £15 day pass at reception for its refurbished gym, 15-metre indoor pool, Jacuzzi and sauna. Prices and arrangements should be confirmed directly with the establishment.
