The Experience
A cleverly designed conversion of two listed barns by friendly owners Fiona and Peter – they live on one side (but you have lots of privacy) and leave you a welcome hamper of local bread, cake, juices, jams and Nespresso capsules.
It’s a wonderful space for gatherings with elegant bedrooms and modern bathrooms; prepare dinner on the range cooker, keep toes toasty around the wood-burner and with underfloor heating, stay in for a movie night (there’s a big TV with everything you’ll need).
Outside you’ll find a garden with barbecue (sizzle sausages from one of two excellent farm shops nearby) and an undercover area with sofas for al fresco drinks surrounded by a lovely weeping willow and plenty of wildlife – you’ll only hear owls and maybe the odd tractor. You can walk to the Jolly Sailor pub over fields in just over an hour.

Without doubt the most beautiful, well appointed and comfortable accommodation we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The surrounding gardens are idyllic - many happy hours were spent under the oak framed seating area with tea and cake (kindly provided by the owners) watching the moor hens racing around the pond. Every single element of this self catering experience was curated to the highest standard - it goes without saying that we did not want to leave!

My friend and I stayed at the barns in June and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The accommodation is stylish, high quality and immaculate. The garden, pond and “sitooterie” where we spent hours sitting out watching the wildlife arriving at the water are charming. A n extremely generous hamper of groceries was very welcome and anything else we needed was easily accessible in the village 15 minutes walk away. Fabulous. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Church lane barns - a beautiful location, so peaceful and comfortable and ideal for local walks, cycle rides and many choices for pubs, villages etc. A great deal of thought and care has been put into the barn and we were made to feel very welcome. The owners even helped out when we needed a bicycle pump for our daughters bike! A very relaxing stay and we hope one day to be back!!

Location
The neighbourhood
You’re in a fairly quiet spot but there’s a farm and a few other barns close by; walk 10 minutes to Botley – a pretty village on the upper banks of the river Hamble with much history. Reach Winchester or Chichester in 40 minutes for culture, cathedrals, theatres and the sea; the South Downs National Park is close for long walks. You can take the train straight from Botley into London in less than two hours.
Local points of interest from Peter & Fiona Hudd
- Explore neighbouring Manor Farm, walking along the banks of the River Hamble through the delightful country park to Bursledon or take the river taxi downstream as far as Hamble. Hire a paddle board in Bursledon if you want to see the river close up!
- The beautiful Meon valley is on your doorstep with attractive villages and stunning scenery to enjoy. After a bracing walk on Old Winchester Hill, a highlight of the South Downs Way, enjoy a well earned rest at a country pub.
- Take the scenic route to Winchester via the pretty village of Cheriton and visit the Georgian market town of Alresford with its interesting shops, cafes and pubs. A walk along the banks of the clear chalk stream River Itchen is not to be missed!
- You are within striking distance of the historic cathedral city of Chichester with its renowned theatre and art galleries. Nearby Bosham and the Fishbourne Roman Palace are well worth a visit.
- The beautiful gardens of West Dean, near Chichester, make for an inspirational day out. The nearby Weald and Downland Museum is a must for historic building enthusiasts. Goodwood is not far if you wish to visit the historic motor circuit or race course.
- Unwind in our 'sitooterie' and watch the goldfinches in the weeping willow. On a clear night you may catch a glimpse of the barn owl flying low across the fields. Listen out for the little owls in the oak tree behind.

Introducing
Peter & Fiona Hudd
Fiona is a conservation architect and Peter has recently left work in the City. They fell in love with the barns and spent eight years restoring them with Fiona’s plans and Peter's passion for gardening. Their vision has always been to create a welcoming and peaceful place to relax and unwind from the pressures of modern life.
What a convivial, happy place for a intergenerational family gathering, the centrepiece of which was an 80th birthday - cake cutting in the sitooterie, rounders for the kids on the lawn and plenty of parking for guests. Perfect. Practical and stylish, the interiors are crafted with care and precision and the gardens are glorious. Would recommend highly.
