The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

Hampshire is said to be the inspirational home of Jane Austen. And it was in Chawton, Hampshire that Jane Austen found the inspiration to write Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park and Sense and Sensibility.
Today Chawton lies firmly on the Jane Austen Trail and within the South Downs National Park.
The village, unchanged and beautiful, with a good food pub, tea rooms. Nearby market towns Farnham, Midhurst, Peterfield offer good farmers markets and amenities. At the head of the meon valley Chawton offers a gateway to the South Downs, magnificent walking country, numerous National Trust houses and gardens. Historic Portsmouth with maritime heritage and the New Forest all in 40 min drive.
London, just over an hour by train from mainline station in Alton straight in to Waterloo

The Winchester area

Located at the head of the meon valley Chawton is ideally located to explore the South Downs National Park, the New Forest and wide ranging attractions. We are a 20 minute drive to Goodwood which hosts the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, Vintage and racing. New Forest favourites include the Exbury Gardens, the Owl and Otter Museum, Beaulieu Motor Museum, and award winning childrens theme park Paultons park.
Children and adults will enjoy INTEC science museum, the Weild and Downland museum and the Hawk Conservancy, all well worth a visit.

“"Olde Worlde" cottage in a picturesque location” There is so much to like about this "olde world" cottage. The owner is very flexible and helpful. The bedroom is particularly charming. The village itself has the distinction of being where Jane Austen lived for the last years of her life and the house has been turned into an interesting museum. There is also a handy pub serving decent pub food and ale and a pleasant tea room that serves lunches too. A quick level walk also takes you to Alton centre in about 15 minutes. The kitchen area altough serviceable could do with upgrading. The next point may not be a consideration for many but I would have preferred it if I'd known prior to booking (although I was informed prior to accessing property) so am mentioning it here - there is a communal garden area that you need to go through to access the private garden and the back door of the cottage. This area is very much the demise of the neighbour's dogs, just something to be aware of.

“A quiet cottage in a beautiful rural village setting” We had a very romantic weekend in this very cosy, and characterful cottage, it ticked all the boxes. Fantastic fireplace to warm yourself after a nice country walk, we slept well in the comfortable bed and we would recommend the local pub nearby.
