Description
Taylors Copse Cottage is tucked away down a private lane in the rural hamlet of Steep Marsh, just north of the bustling market town of Petersfield in Hampshire.
This traditional weatherboarded barn offers entrances into both the kitchen and sitting room, allowing a joyful sense of freedom and exploration for the kids while the grown-ups cook dinner – or kick back with a chilled glass. The kitchen is fully fitted for a practical self-catering holiday, and the extendable dining table allows everyone to gather round after a day out. The central sitting room is furnished with leather sofas facing the log burner and Smart TV, a cosy corner to curl up come rain or shine.
The Master Bedroom sits at the far end of the house, accessed by four stairs down into the room. With a king size bed and views over the garden, it is a comfortable, private space for parents to retreat to after a busy day. Next door, the new bathroom is smartly finished with a large shower. Upstairs, the first floor features a cavernous triple bedroom with a study desk/workspace, an ideal layout for a short break with friends or as the kids’ den. There is ample room for guests to hang out or spread out as they wish, enjoying views across the paddocks and the rest of the smallholding.
Outside, the large open garden is flanked by the paddocks, stables and small fields containing a variety of animals including horses, goats, pigs and sheep. In spring there is a good chance of seeing newborn lambs frolicking, the air delicately fragranced with bluebell perfume from the surrounding private woodland which you are welcome to explore.
Taylors Copse Cottage is perfectly suited for family holidays and weekend breaks, or for longer stays (short lets) during house moves, renovations or for work contracts in Liphook, Haslemere, Waterlooville or Portsmouth. See the ‘House info’ section for more information about this pet-friendly holiday home near Petersfield, Hampshire.

Reviews
Wonderful stay at Taylors Copse cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Taylors Copse cottage. The cottage itself is pretty, cosy and equipped with everything may need for a family holiday. Our children especially loved their very big bedroom! The surroundings are peaceful and charming and you have beautiful walks starting at the cottage door step.(up to the Ashford Hangers). The hosts were very welcoming made everything for us to have the best stay. Our children loved to see the horses and to take in their arms the baby lambs. We highly recommend the cottage.
