The Hay Barn at Ferendone House

We have had a wonderful week staying at The Hay Barn. Everything about the barn was perfect, it was spotlessly clean and equipped to the highest standard as well as being beautifully decorated and furnished. Susannah was a charming and most helpful host and the welcome hamper and complimentary bath products she provided were much appreciated. The Hay Barn is in a very quiet and peaceful location but it is within easy reach of lots of interesting places and has the added bonus of being only a ten minute walk from The Rose and Crown pub which serves excellent food. Highly recommended.

Everything in the property was of a very high quality and we would thoroughly recommend staying here. The owner had supplied extensive information and recommendations about the area which we found extremely helpful. The location is excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

The Hay Barn is superb! It is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is peaceful and set in a very pretty village. It’s close to lots of visitor attractions and amenities. We would highly recommend The Hay Barn to our friends and family.

We had a lovely time at the Hay Barn in Upper Farringdon. Very comfortable and well appointed - even a welcome teapot! The welcome hamper was a nice touch too. The village pub was very friendly and had good food. Fantastic, well way-marked walks from the door in beautiful countryside.

The Hay Barn was a perfect location for exploring the local area. Susannah was very helpful and ensured we were comfortable. We enjoyed local visits to Jane Austen's house at Chawton and Gilbert White's house at Selborne, as well as going further afield to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Winchester. The Hay Barn had a well equipped kitchen, cosy bedrooms and is in a quiet location in the village; which we also enjoyed exploring.

Very enjoyable stay in Susannah's lovely barn. Comfortable and well-equipped, with great walking and wildlife on the doorstep. It was a treat to be able to walk in one direction to Chawton for Jane Austen's house, and in the other to Selborne for Gilbert White's house and the fantastic Jubilee Tap. A super place to stay in a lovely location!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at The Hay Barn in Farringdon. Susannah was very welcoming and the accommodation is beautifully furnished as well as practical, with everything that you might need for a short stay. The quiet village is surrounded by rolling chalk hills, with an extensive network of accessible footpaths and a great local pub just 5 mins walk away. There were also lots of nearby places (within 15mins drive) to keep the kids entertained. Highly recommended.

The Haybarn was spacious, bright and very well equipped. Susannah’s artist flair was reflected in the decor and soft furnishings. The barn is tucked away in an attractive village within walking distance of a good pub. There are many lovely walks within the immediate vicinity and lots of places of interest further afield. Susannah is an excellent host who strikes the right balance between being friendly and helpful but not intrusive. I would highly recommend the Haybarn as a comfortable bolthole.

The Haybarn is a charmingly furnished holiday cottage, very comfortable and well equipped, situated in a rural part of Hampshire. It is where you can just relax and enjoy peaceful surroundings or explore the nearby lanes and countryside where picturesque cottages abound.

Stylishly appointed with everything provided that you would need for your stay, the Hay Barn was both comfortable and functional. Susannah was welcoming and helpful. A number of National Trust properties accessible within a short drive as was Jane Austen's house and Chawton. And if that was not enough, a great pub with excellent food and real ale was a 10 minutes walk away. A really enjoyable stay.

The Haybarn was classy, comfortable and scrupulously clean; and has a lovely open plan living space which was perfect for a family holiday. Susannah went above and beyond, providing all sorts of things we needed for our baby, and personal recommendations for places to eat. Very much enjoyed, we hope to stay again.

Returning to the county of my birth, here I discovered wonderful treasures I'd not known about. I arrived by train and walked everywhere, the pubs, Jane Austen's house and other delights. Susannah was a delightful host, providing a gorgeous hamper on arrival, and super helpful with details of local walks and our other needs. The barn is immaculate with everything you would want. Personally I felt it would have been lovely to have more original features inside the barn (only two original beams showing) but this was outweighed by the warmth of the host and her attention to detail. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at Hay Barn as a family of 3. Everything worked well for us and our 4 year old, with a spare bed in the twin room for when he wanted some company. The kitchen feels brand new, with everything you need to make tasty dinners. The village is great to wander around, with lots of beautiful countryside around to explore. We spotted bats, a hare and plenty of tractors! The barn is set in a fantastic location to get out and do lots, whether youre up for an explore in Alice Holt woods, a trip back in time on the Watercress line steam trains, or just a mooch around town.

The Hay Barn fully met our expectations, and more. Very comfortable, attractive decor and ambience, with plenty of space including for the harp we brought along. Susannah is the perfect host - her recommendations for places to eat, where to buy supplies etc, were excellent. Lovely countryside, some great walks, and the Jane Austen attractions so close. Would definitely stay there again.

Light, spacious and extremely comfortable the Hay Barn is also fully equipped with everything you need for your stay as well as many thoughtful extra items which made our stay a memorable one. It is very quiet & peaceful located in the small village of Farringdon but also a short dribe to shops and the many interesting interesting places to visit. Our host Susannah lives on site which is reassuring in the event of a problem but all we required were a few tips for walks from the Barn and places to eat nearby.

Our stay at the Hay Barn couldn't have been better - from the local treats waiting for us when we arrived to the warm welcome and words of advice from Susannah and her family. The Hay Barn was perfectly placed for lots of walks (straight from the front door!) and to see some of the local villages and Winchester. It was a real (re)treat. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our bank holiday weekend stay at the Hay Barn. Susannah and Alex were very welcoming. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and lovey bed linen were much appreciated. As were the little treats of local produce and the fantastic information folder with really helpful and useful information about local attractions including ideas and marked maps for the lovely easy countryside walks from the door. In fact the whole Meon valley is gorgeous. There is even an excellent pub in the village a short walk from the Barn. A real gem! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful five days at the Hay Barn. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and beautifully furnished accommodation. Lovely country walks on the doorstep, including a walk over fields to Chawton House. Great village pub nearby. Susannah and Alex are very friendly and helpful, and the children loved meeting the resident guinea pigs! We would definitely return.

The Haybarn is an immaculate cottage and spotlessly clean;very reassuring in these troubling times. Susannah was very welcoming and offered great ideas for walks and places to visit. Despite the fact that the barn is next door to her house she was careful to never to infringe on our privacy. There are lots of lovely walks literally from the front door and we also visited Hinton Ampner, Butser Ancient Farm and had a trip on the Watercress Stream train. The weather was terrible but we had a lovely time!

This is a lovely place to stay - spotlessly clean, very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The village is gorgeous and very peaceful, a great base for glorious walks a with lots of great places to visit. Info on the house and surrounding area detailed and clear. We found Susannah friendly and helpful but not intrusive.
