John’s Barn - Self-catering in Hampshire
Shelley Lane,
Ower, Romsey, SO51 6AS, Hampshire
England,
Reino Unido
Set in 50 acres on the edge of the New Forest, in a clearing a mile or so up a track, stands John’s striking barn, all black wood panels, red pantiles and glorious glass in one gable end. Surrounded by grass, woodland and birdsong, it’s a conversion of John’s workshop and tractor store. Wife Bobbie lives next door and is usually on hand to welcome you. Bring the family or come with friends; space is no issue in the sitting room and dining area, which open to the tiled hallway and smart kitchen. One bedroom is downstairs, with wet room (easy access), and two more, with shared bathroom, are on the mezzanine, from where the master looks down into the living area. Neutral shades are punctuated by accents of colour in cushions, curtains and throws. Curl up in front of the stove (logs provided), play board games, go pond dipping, or cycle the riverside paths (some bikes available). The enclosed garden is laid to lawn and there's a wooden play fort for children to enjoy near the barn. Pubs and a shop are in nearby Wellow, Romsey’s just four miles away, and Marwell Zoo and Salisbury are within reach.

Local points of interest from Bobbie Middleton:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Bobbie Middleton:
- John's Barn is set in ancient woodland where wildlife abounds and deer nibble in the nearby fields. The woods are a haven for birds, squirrels and bunnies. The lake is stocked with friendly carp that can be fed or fished and at dusk badgers can be spotted.
- Children will love the freedom of exploring the private woodlands, fields, river and lake. There are dens to be built, paths to be cycled and adventures to be had! The garden surrounding the barn is fenced in so children and dogs can play safely.
- For sporting enthusiasts there is the new forest just a 5 min drive away. You can explore the forest by cycle, on horse back or on foot. There are many lovely pubs to be discovered and John and Bobbie will share their best kept secrets.
- Eat at home, BBQ on the terrace or venture afield to some of the local eateries. The nearby town of Stockbridge is a foodie haven including a Michelin restaurant and the nearby market town of Romsey offers an abundance of restaurants.
- The popular Peppa Pig World is just 5 minutes away, Moors Valley country park with its 'Go-Ape' is great for a day trip. The blackboard in the barn is filled with John and Bobbie's top tips for a day out. Jurassic coast just an hour's drive away away.
- Historic attractions include Stonehenge, the cathedral towns of Winchester and Salisbury, and the historic Portsmouth dockyard, home to HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. Bucklers Hard in the forest and stately homes such as Beaulieu Abbey are worth a visit.
