Delightful Garden Setting
My wife and I and another couple loved staying at Mallard Cottage. The bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size and the laundry with a clothes dryer was really appreciated. The living area enjoyed floor to ceiling glass looking out on a sunny, relaxing garden which sloped down to the fast flowing river. It was a short walk in to the centre of the city. Hosts, David and Deepti, were welcoming and very helpful. I highly recommend this cottage to others.

Outstanding luxurious accommodation within a short walk of Winchester.
My friend and I spent a fabulous 3 days in this truly stunning cottage. David and Deepti really have thought of everything to make for a magical stay. The quality of the furnishings and decor is second to none. So stylish and comfortable. Added to which the access to their beautiful gardens leading down to the river was the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend to anyone.
