Detached, newly converted annex with private entrance and free parking

Tucked away in the village of South Hiendley, this cosy, newly converted detached studio annex offers a comfortable base for up to four guests.

Guests choose this retreat for its blend of privacy and convenience: you have the entire annex to yourselves, a simple self check-in, and everything you need for relaxed stays, from a well-equipped open-plan kitchen to comfortable lounging space. It is also pet-friendly, making it a practical option for trips with your dog.
