"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Roost with entertainment supplied by the peacocks when roosting at night and flying down in the mornings."
Alister provided a warm welcome and useful information about the area and places to eat. A very comfortable and memorable holiday, thank you. Diana

The property
Alresford 3.7 miles.
Resting near Alresford in the village of Cheriton, Hampshire in the South Downs National Park is The Roost.
This fabulous, dog-friendly, ground-floor holiday home benefits from a countryside setting, off-road parking and an open-plan living space welcoming six guests, perfect for families and friends.
Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and unwind in front of the TV while the designated chef of the group becomes acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen.
Gather around the dining table to tuck in while the woodburning stove provides a comforting glow; later step outside to delight in evening drinks as the sun sets over the encompassing countryside.
When stars fill the sky, head inside to wash away the day’s adventures in the family bathroom before retiring for some much-needed rest and relaxation in one of three bedrooms; choose from a super-king-size or two twin, one of which is zip and link for added flexibility.
If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at The Flower Pots Inn, a traditional pub famed for brewing their own beer; alternatively travel to Alresford to stock up on essentials at the local stores or visit the 15th century pub The Globe on the banks of the Old Alresford Pond.
The Roost lies in the South Downs National Park which is known for its chalk hills, wooded areas and wealth of walking and cycling opportunities including the South Downs Way, which stretches 160 kilometres from Winchester to the cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Eastbourne.
Spend the day in Winchester, tour The Great Hall, Winchester Cathedral, Wolvesey Castle, the imposing remains of the 12th century palace and the National Trust site of Winchester City Mill which runs family activities and displays historic exhibits.
Venture further afield to the coast in Southampton, spend a sunny day on Weston Hard Beach or stroll around the harbour which houses a variety of eateries and bars before visiting SeaCity or Solent Sky Museum.
Experience the countryside and its surrounding attractions at The Roost.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
Where you’ll be staying
ALRESFORD
Winchester 7.6 miles, Basingstoke 15 miles, Guildford 30 miles
The Georgian market town of Alresford is made up of the village of Old Alresford mentioned in the Doomsday Book and the main town of New Alresford and in the 1860’s was connected to London by a railway line that was used to transport Watercress that the town was widely famous for producing. The line became known as the “Watercress Line” and still runs between Alresford to Alton through the picture perfect Hampshire countryside. Now this quiet and pretty town is the perfect place for a gentle stroll, where the colour-washed Georgian houses, independent and specialist shops are mixed with characterful pubs, modern eateries and traditional tea rooms. Enjoy the Riverside Walk where you will find the Fulling Mill built in the 13th century or visit the Old Alresford Pond that is home to an abundance of wildlife including otters and wildfowl. To fully enjoy the history of the town, take the Millennium Trail a series of footpaths that weave and interlink around the town.
