About the home

Found in the quiet hamlet of Steep Marsh, Taylors Copse Cottage enjoys its own private setting in the heart of beautiful bluebell woodland, at the foot of the renowned Hampshire Hangers. In the spring it is understandably a wonderful carpet of colour, and guests can enjoy the many walks that lead through these private woods.

This is a perfect place to stay for anyone with a young family, since it is also a small holding with new born lambs and piglets each spring plus also, horses are kept in the adjacent stables and are exercised each day.

The cottage is perfectly in keeping with its surroundings, and offers very comfortable accommodation for five in two bedrooms. The second bedroom with three single beds is exceptionally spacious and can if need be accommodate six through use of a futon that is provided in that room. The main double bedroom is on the ground floor, but is on a slightly lower level and since it is accessed via a few stairs from the hallway, it makes a nice feature and gives this cottage a feeling of being that little bit individual..

The central living room has comfortable leather sofas and a feature wood burning stove. Doors open out onto the terrace and the private garden beyond. The kitchen is spacious with good dining space and is fully equipped. There is also underfloor heating in this room.

The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

East Hampshire is covered by the western boundaries of the South Downs National Park. The cathedral city is Winchester which is central in the county. Portsmouth and Southampton are the major cities on the coast giving ferry inks across to the Isle of Wight. Portsmouth is home to HMS Victory and more recently the Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays. Southampton still maintains its links with the cruise ship industry with the three Cunard liners using it as their home port.

The South Downs / Steep Marsh area

Steep Marsh is on the edge of the Hampshire Hangers, one of Hampshire’s most beautiful woodland areas. Consisting of 323 acres of woodland, with many magnificent beech trees, there is a rise and fall in the landscape here made the more impressive by the fact most the area is covered in trees. The scenery is outstanding and has been given the name “Little Switzerland” to this part of Hampshire.

Being amidst such beautiful scenery, the cottage falls comfortably within the South Downs National Park. It is just two miles from the historic market town of Petersfield and its leisure facilities. As the main junction between London to Portsmouth ,and Midhurst to Winchester the town enjoyed a brisk trade in coaching days and in 1696-97 had no fewer than nine coaching inns listed. There are certainly no shortage of country inns in the vicinity today!

Butser Hill at 270 metres (890 feet) is the highest point on the South Downs. It is easily accessible being just a short distance south of the town. The climb to the top is challenging, but the views are rewarding and there is a refreshment kiosk at the top! It forms part of the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Hampshire’s biggest country park offering 20 miles of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It is a popular recreational area. We feature a link to the park under our section “Places to visit” for East Hampshire from our homepage.

Also listed are Hinton Ampner, and Stansted Park both within easy reach, and across the border into Sussex is the National Trust property Uppark, located high on the Downs at South Harting.

This area is very accessible, Portsmouth’s historic dockyard, the Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays are within twenty minutes by rail or car, while Winchester and the western end of the South Downs are easily accessible due west from Petersfield.

“An absolute gem of a place” This wonderful cottage was everything I had hoped for and more. Set off from the 'main' road in a tiny village, you are welcomed by the owners on to their small holding as a valued guest. The cottage is beautifully appointed with 2 very good-sized bedrooms (the room upstairs can easily sleep 3 or 4 comfortably) and every comfort that you would need. When I arrived they had lit the log burning stove, and there were some farm eggs and a bottle of locally produced wine awaiting me. The owners were incredibly flexible about people coming and going, and delighted to show me around their smallholding - horses, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens . . .a real home away from home for me. There is a beautiful garden outside with patio furniture, and literally a step away from paths heading off into the woods. My peace was only disturbed by the deer that grazed outside my window every morning! So if a rural retreat is what you are looking for, but only a short drive away from the lovely town of Petersfield (which now has a Michelin star restaurant). The only slight thing for improvement that may matter to some people is that there was (at least when I was there) limited mobile coverage (for my network) and no internet or landline. I quite enjoyed it (!) but for some people it may be more important. Otherwise, everything was perfect and I couldn't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back.
