Welcome to a treasure trove of wonders, the legendary land of Hampshire! Nestled snugly on the southern coast of England, this county is rich in history, natural beauty and a vibrant cultural scene. The county is sprinkled with wonderful Oliver’s Travels properties, from cute cottages to seaside wonders, luxurious manor houses and contemporary architectural gems.
Winchester Cathedral, a medieval masterpiece stands tall and proud in the historic city of Winchester. It is the rockstar of cathedrals, dating back to the 11th century, boasting stained glass windows that will make your jaw drop, medieval carvings that tell tales of yore and even the resting place of the legendary Jane Austen. Winchester is brimming with cobbled streets lined with indie shops and historic buildings that create an inviting ambiance. The Great Hall, with King Arthur's Round Table, adds a dash of myth and legend to this already enchanting city.
Portsmouth, a vibrant waterfront city is all about maritime glory. The Historic Dockyard, home to HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Museum, is a treasure trove of naval history. If you want a bird's-eye view of the action, the Spinnaker Tower is your ticket to panoramic views of the city and the mighty Solent.

If you venture into the Test Valley, villages like Stockbridge and Longstock offer a taste of quintessential English countryside. Thatched cottages, charming pubs and the soothing River Test meandering through offering soothing serenity and picturesque photo shots. The New Forest National Park is an ancient woodland haven where you can walk, cycle and encounter free-roaming ponies, deer and wildlife galore. It is nature's playground and you are invited to join the fun.
For the culture vultures, Hampshire has your back. The Winchester Festival is an annual arts extravaganza, with music, literature and visual arts. The Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham and The Anvil in Basingstoke are stages for the county's artistic soul, showcasing everything from live music to theatre productions.
Hampshire is the ultimate blend of history, modern vibes and natural beauty. Whether you are exploring cathedrals, wandering through quaint villages or embracing your inner adventurer in the great outdoors, Hampshire promises a fabulous time.

How long have you owned the property?
11 years!
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
It's grand and Edwardian and in the perfect location for the beach.
Do you have a favourite room in the property?
I love the open-plan kitchen/ diner - a fantastic space for the whole family to gather.
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
Really do?
Make sure you visit the Historic Dockyard and see the Mary Rose.
Really eat?
The Florence Arms Gastro Pub - it's excellent and only a few minutes walk from the house.
Really see?
The magnificent views from the top of the Spinnaker Tower.
What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
Everyone who stays says they didn’t realise how much there is to see in Portsmouth and the surrounding area and that they wished they had booked to stay for longer, the dockyard alone can take a few days to go around.

Great house!
We loved our get together! The house was well equipped and literally minutes from the seafront. Southsea is a great area, brilliant shopping & restaurants and coastal. We had private catering and it meant we could really relax properly. Great house!
-
Long awaited family holiday
We hadn’t got together as a family for so long we wanted somewhere special we could all relax and be together without worrying about others around us. The children loved the cinema room space and the adults enjoyed the open kitchen/diner so chef wasn’t left out of the chatting!
-
Beautiful bedrooms
The house was ideal for our corporate group. The rooms were more like hotel rooms all beautifully designed and all en-suite rather than people sharing. The on site parking for everyone was a real bonus.

We loved it!
Our first time in self catering over a hotel – brilliant! Loved the space and just a great way to relax as a family.
