Cottage holiday rentals in Test Valley District

had such a lovely stay at the little cottage. great spot to just relax and be in a secluded little sun trap away from any hustle and bustle. hot tub was perfection, garden is just perfect to sit and read our books and have some drinks, kitchen was easy to use and got the job done for cooking, shower was nice and hot and good pressure (sounds silly but i think the shower is always worth a mention!) bed was so comfy, best we’ve slept in weeks! really appreciate the sky box being included, great value for money here. big thanks to Lorraine!

Jenna was so friendly and always on hand if needed. The annex was beautiful. The bed was really comfy and we took advantage of the hot tub which was so relaxing. I had some family visit and they thought it was beautiful and will stay when they come down to visit again. Had some lovely meals in the village pub

We enjoyed our Short (2-Night) stay a lot. Poppy responded Short Term on Any queries we had. Hot tub outside and stove in the living&dining room were exceptional Features you rarely find at places in this Price categorie. Water quality and temperature in the Hot tub were Perfect. Like other guests commented prior, the Noise of the Main Road isnt really a downside, at least not later in the evening. Though it is noisy inside if you Open any window to the road side and entering and exiting the parking area at the House from the Main Road needs some willpower at the beginning. The Region, the Host and the Location definitely deserve a longer stay. Christian, Claudia, Caius & Roswitha say: Thank You!

If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, calm and relaxing stay, look no further.

This was our second time staying and we loved it as much as the first time. The place is so peaceful and cosy. Jane was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future!

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

Had a good stay and used the location as a base to explore the North Wessex Downs. The house itself was as described and the kids enjoyed the hot tub. Large garden for kids to run around in.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

Fantastic base for exploring the prehistoric wonders of Wiltshire! The location was ideal for easy drives to sites like Stonehenge and Avebury. The accommodation itself was spotless, quiet, and clearly well looked after, everything you need for a relaxing stay. There’s a cracking little pub nearby serving amazing pizza (highly recommend), though the Guinness was £7 a pint… spoken like a true Yorkshireman! Bonus points for the handy Morrisons shop right next door, perfect for picking up supplies. All in all, a great stay 10/10 would highly recommend.

A perfect 48-hour escape from London! We couldn’t have found a better place for a quick countryside getaway. The Barn is the ideal spot to unwind and truly disconnect from city life—immaculate, beautifully curated, and full of thoughtful touches. Emma is a fantastic host, clearly passionate about creating a warm and welcoming space. We especially loved spending the evening outdoors with a BBQ, then getting cosy inside by the wood burner. The locally sourced jam and butter, plus fresh eggs from Emma’s own farm, were such a lovely bonus. We left feeling rested and recharged—already dreaming of coming back!

We had an absolutely amazing time here. Perfect location for exploring the near by cotswolds villages. if you've ever read/seen Matilda...this is Miss Honeys cottage. So magical. incredibly picturesque. Truly magical. Had everything we needed. Spectacular home that we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We stayed at The Twig whilst visiting family in the area and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. The cottage was spacious, clean and the animals were an added bonus especially for our 3 year old daughter. We will definitely be back when next visiting the area, thank you!

Beautifully furnished house with everything we could have needed. we would thoroughly recommend it.

From booking, right through to leaving the property was straightforward, accurately advertised and backed up by support and advice as needed. A beautiful property in a stunning location where attention to detail and fabulous finishing touches have been added.

My wife and I had a lovely weekend away at this property. It's perfect for a couples getaway and had plenty a lovely walks nearby for the dogs. I'd highly recommend a stay here and we will be looking forward to returning.

The perfect house for a family gathering - 9 adults and 2 dogs. Spacious, clean, well-equipped house with lots of indoor and outdoor games, room for 9 of us to dine easily, well-equipped kitchen, 2 comfortable sitting rooms, separate annexe with lots of things to do and gym equipment. Beds all very comfortable. The highlight for us on a beautiful sunny weekend was the garden - large grassy area for games and play, mature flowerbeds, 2 large tables, shed full of garden toys. There was also a bbq area and children's outdoor equipment. Jo responded quickly to any messages, but her clear instructions and detailed information meant there were very few questions. She also gave many ideas for walks, restaurants etc.

Our stay at Victoria’s cottage was one that we will reminisce about for a long time - hopefully we will be back soon and will stay much longer! We were so comfortable and felt very much at home, with a dream king bed and beautiful art and textiles decorating the home. Wotton-Under-Edge is a scenic 20-minute walk away for all amenities. Truly a restful Cotswolds experience surrounded by farms and nature.

We had an amazing time staying at the Bothy with our 2 young children. The grounds are stunning and well looked after in such a peaceful setting, we slept with the windows open and didn’t hear a peep! Extremely comfy beds, luxury towels and all the games you could wish for. Kitchen and bathrooms particularly well decorated with all the amenities you could need. Great communication and hosting, our little boy fed Allies chickens and cuddled the cats and absolutely loved it. So glad we got to stay here and would absolutely recommend to all!

We had the most wonderful stay and Ana was an amazing host. We arrived to a freshly baked sourdough loaf, butter and jam, as well as milk in the fridge. So greatly appreciated after a long drive! The cottage was beautifully clean, well equipped and charming. Great base for exploring the New Forest. Would highly recommend!

We stayed in The Goat shed for 5 nights for a mini-moon and can't fault it. Easy to find and very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack had tonnes of information and reccomendations for food, activities and experiences in the surrounding area. Open forest, beaches, farm shops and quaint villages all within a half hour drive, but if you don't fancy that, there's plenty thats walkable too. Rachael and her family were very welcoming and friendly, offering us vegetables from their garden and answering our many questions. The surrounding area is beautiful and if you're looking for a jumping off point to explore the New Forest, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. They also have great tastes in biscuits!

Thank you Jessica I really enjoyed my time in the cottage The log burning stove made the cottage so warm and welcoming The garden was amazing The location was ideal for me I loved the thatched cottage Many thanks for an amazing memory Xxx Janet xxx

My husband and I had the most amazing bank holiday weekend at Olly and Francis’s lovely cottage. Francis was very welcoming from the moment we arrived and was super friendly and generous throughout. The kitchen was well stocked up and they kindly provided fresh sourdough bread and eggs. Francis had also pre-prepared the fire place so that all we had to do was light it. The grounds are beautiful with nice spots where you can sit and enjoy the views. We also had fun playing tennis. They also provided excellent pub recommendations. Overall, we had a very relaxing stay and didn’t want to leave. Thanks again Francis for the great hospitality!

The dovecote was well equiped, clean and comfortable in a rural location, but within easy drive of Salisbury. The Dovecote is part of a courtyard complex with the outside space at the front of the property and, as our stay was midweek, there were vehicles coming and going during the day, and the nearby road was also well used. As we were out exploring during the day this did not pose a problem for us as the evenings and early mornings were very quiet with lovely birdsong to wake up to.

A lovely and comfortable place to stay with all the necessities and an absolutely beautiful environment. This really worked well for me for my current stay as I only needed to prepare a few basic meals. While cooking/serving utensils are extensive they may need review/updating from time to time. This is a minor concern well outweighed by clean and comfortable spaces, all manner of TV channels readily available (contrary to those places where you must input your own credentials to access) and so much available at hand with a 5 minute walk to the village.
