Two beautiful, secluded eco cabins with long views and total peace (each sleeps 2)
Space & setting.
The Meon Valley is home to some of Hampshire’s prettiest villages, all olde thatched cottages and wisteria-clad houses. Circled by countryside, walks and bike rides meander along the River Meon and over golden fields to join the South Downs Way. There are gastro pubs a’plenty, and artisan village stores selling local Exton fizz. It’s a peaceful, under-the-radar area, a slice of perfection.
These vintage-chic cabins hide in the heart of the valley, part of a glampsite spread across a 2500-acre farm. An ode to sustainability, they were handcrafted from reclaimed cedar by their clever owner, and solar energy powers their electricity and hot water. Interiors are beautifully pared-back — soft neutral colours, natural materials — which allow the views centre stage, and each sits in its own field, allowing for total privacy. Lie in bed and watch wild hares leap across the field as the sun comes up, then breakfast outside to a serenade of birdsong. With no WiFi and no neighbours, being here is a total escape.
Getting here: drive, or train to Petersfield then taxi (10 mins)

Sustainability.
As part of their sustainable building approach, the interior is clad with cedar sourced from the estate and milled locally.

- There’s an old bus, vintage rice horsebox and safari tent, The Dell, on site; built for guests to enjoy over on the main glampsite (10 mins’ walk), comprising a pizza restaurant, cafe and bar, selling local ales and ciders.
- Circular walks lead out from the farm, plus you’re only a mile or so from the South Downs Way with its glorious rolling chalk hills.
- Or cycle the Meon Valley Trail, an 11-mile route along a disused railway track.
- You can walk to a handful of pubs; Jack recommends ’The No Name’ pub for a pint of local ale and extremely good food.
- Try fly fishing at Meon Valley Springs (2 miles). You can catch trout for your supper or just opt for catch and release. Lessons and equipment hire available.
- Petersfield is the closest town, with a farmers’ market every Wednesday and Saturday. Or buy fantastic local meat at Buckinghams Artisan Butchery to sling on the BBQ.
- Winchester is 20 mins’ drive: incredible period houses and a beautiful cathedral. Portsmouth is a little further, with a historical naval dockyard and day ferries to the Isle of Wight.
