About this property

Rural location, Test Valley, Barn Conversion. 4 miles from Stockbridge.

Blacklake Barn is a delightful self contained annex with two bedrooms, a sitting room, bathroom, and kitchen and breakfast area. Both the bathroom and kitchen have recently been refurbished to a high standard. Wonderfully light and spacious, the barn has original exposed beams and a rustic feel. For colder months, there is a very efficient wood burner in the sitting room as well as central heating in all of the rooms.
The kitchen is fully equipped.
There are two bedrooms, one double with a super king size bed and one single with a single bed and a mattress is also available.
Uniquely located on the Clarendon Way, the ancient Pilgrims route between the iconic cathedrals towns of Winchester and Salisbury.
Please note that the Barn is not suitable for under 4s.

Very enjoyable and peaceful mini break in a super location. The barn is lovely and bright and so well equipped, clean and welcoming. We really enjoyed our sundowners sitting in the pretty, secure garden space which was also appreciated by our spaniel. Lovely walks direct from the door and walking distance to The Boot pub which was great.

50th birthday escape to the country.

3 ladies who were looking to drink tea and chat in beautiful rural countryside home yet appreciative of the proximity to Winchester town for shops/eating out. It was just what we were looking for.

From outside of the green garden gate the property seemed bland however once through the green gate the barn and the secret garden were just fantastic. The layout of the property and its facilities were very good and all the rooms were clean and tidy. All the information we needed for the barn and surrounding area were contained in the comprehensive booklet and the hosts were available (mobile) if needed. A very peaceful location in which to relax. Its location allowed us to easily visit Salisbury, Winchester, Stockbridge and Beaulieu. Making our stay very enjoyable.

A lovely place to stay

The barn was such a fantastic place to stay well equipped with everything we needed. The garden was lovely and peaceful for breakfast in the morning and the living room cosy and comfortable in the evening. It's location was perfect for visiting Winchester and Salisbury. The track leading to the house was interesting being quite uneven but taken slowly added to the charm of the property and enjoyment of our stay. Charles and Ingrid were great hosts and we would definitely book again.

Incredibly peaceful situation

The cottage is situated in a beautiful unspoilt location surrounded by water meadows with just the owners farmhouse next door. The standard of decoration and fittings are excellent Just be warned that there is no vehicular access from Houghton as Google maps indicates. Follow the owners detailed instructions and approach from Kings Sombourne. The access route is in a long track but so worthwhile once you arrive

Cosy stay during winter

We spent 3 weeks at Ingrid's place and had an amazing stay. The place really provides for everything you need from cooking utensils to dryer and dishwasher, full bathroom and comfortable beds. A highlight for us in the winter months was the fireplace. Ingrid and her husband made sure we had everything we needed and even organised firewood for us. We loved the rural location of the place and felt right at home. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

A perfect place to stay. Ticked every box

We both needed to unwind and we certainly did. 5 days of bliss. The barn was spacious, light and very comfortable and to be away from bustle, traffic and the demands of modern life even for a short time was balm for the soul. The garden, the birdsong including cuckoos, the deer, the trout streams, woodland paths and stunning skies, all added to our pleasure. Our little reactive dog was the most relaxed I have seen her. Thank you to our hosts. You have created a little paradise.

Peaceful stay

Lovely property, despite being a little off the main road, we followed the comprehensive instructions and the place was easy to locate. We enjoyed being away from any main roads, the peace and quiet was lovely. The home itself, is spacious and clean, equipped with everything we needed. Great communication from the owners, who were responsive and helpful. We loved getting visits from "Poppy" their friendly dog and sitting in the garden with a morning cuppa was blissful.
