South Downs Lodge

The Meon Valley sits deep in the South Downs National Park, and South Downs Lodge is positioned to take advantage of it. Walking trails crisscross the rolling downland; The White Lion pub is less than a mile away for food and drink; cyclists and horse riders will find the terrain rewarding. The lodge itself is a single-storey property, recently completed, with everything on the ground floor and designed for two people in privacy.

Inside, an open-plan living space combines sitting, dining and kitchen areas, with a door leading through to the bedroom wing. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, microwave and full fridge. The bedroom contains a king-size bed; the ensuite has a walk-in shower, basin and toilet finished in contemporary style. There's a small gravelled seating area outside, along with bike storage and parking for two cars. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. The property is entirely yours; no smoking inside.

The lodge works well for people wanting to explore the countryside on foot or by bike, or simply to spend time in a quiet, rural setting. There is a step in the front garden. The host can arrange equestrian interaction sessions if you want to add something different to your stay.
