Description

Lovely 200 year old cottage on the South Downs. Exposed wooden beams. Wooden floors. Two log burning stoves. You'll need to light them if you get cold. Three double beds; two iron and one brass (very high). A lovely garden with a large timber frame undercover area for eating outdoors whilst you look over the fields around you. Fabulous views. Very cosy and snug. Parking. A true sanctuary.

Getting around

If you see a bus go past the cottage, you're not staying in the right place. You really really do need your own transport. Bicycle, motorbike, car, motorhome, will all work well. You could get a taxi to the cottage from Southampton Airport or from Winchester Train Station. Have your food delivered by on-line shopping and just walk on all the beautiful trails around us. The South Downs Way. The Wayfarers Walk. The Monarchs Way and many many walking paths.

Interaction with guest

We like our guests to feel like The Cycle Sanctuary is their own cottage, so we leave you to let yourselves in and let yourselves out (we'll let you know where the key is of course :-) No 'fussy' owners around. Your cottage, for you to enjoy for your stay. We leave you notes and maps for you about the cottage and surrounding area and of course you can easily get hold of us by mobile, text or email if it would be so much quicker if you could just ask a question.

“Cycle retreat!”

Reviewed 23 Aug 2021

What an absolute gem of a find! This cottage is fantastic. Everything you could need inside, close to so many places to visit and yet a real country feel. We enjoyed cosying up in the evenings reading books in one of the snugs. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to people! The owner Miles was also brilliant. Little notes left round the place made it feel very personal and he was on hand (at the end of the phone) for any enquiries (not that we had any). We have already recommended this place to friends and family and can’t wait to go back again.

Response from the owner Thank you for your very helpful review. Quirky. Love it. So sorry to hear about banging your head . . . Ouch! . . the doorways are under 6' high. The mobile signal is best in the upstairs main bedroom. Yes, if you suffered from Cyclephobia, it's definitely not the place to stay :-) Thanks for being such lovely guests.
