About this property
This contemporary cottage lies in the ground of the Abshot Manor and Country Club, in the Southern Hampshire village of Titchfield Common. Presented to a wonderful standard with a complimentary membership providing access to a host of on-site facilities, Badgers Sett is a superb base for families and friends. The open-plan living space is uplifted by natural light from the ceiling window and bi-fold doors, complete with two large sofas surrounding the woodburning stove and TV, perfect for unwinding into the evening. Step over to the kitchen, where the head chef can utilise a range of appliances to assist with home-cooking, whilst the rest of the group set the dining table for a culinary feast. Two sumptuous bedrooms await, with the master occupying a double bed with en-suite bathroom, whilst the twin enjoys an en-suite shower room, both neutrally presented. Start the morning with a coffee from the gravelled patio before wandering around the well-maintained grounds and exploring the generous on-site facilities. All this and more awaits at Badgers Sett.
Titchfield Common is one of several Southern Hampshire residential areas, close to both Southampton Water and Portsmouth Harbour. Titchfield village is well known for its charming, historic centre, the imposing ruins of the Abbey dating back to 1222, and Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve - 369 acres of wetland habitat, a haven for birdwatchers. Nearby Hill Head and Meon Shore offer promenades by the local beaches and views across the Solent to the Isle Of Wight. A short drive takes you to Portsmouth's historic dockyard, home to the magnificent HMS Victory, Mary Rose and many other attractions. Close by is Gunwharf Quays retail outlet and the spectacular Spinnaker Tower. The popular city of Southampton offers plenty of attractions, and a 40-minute drive brings you to the picturesque New Forest National Park including Beaulieu House and Motor Museum and Bucklers Hard. The Titchfield area offers a wide range of activities to suit all ages and interests.

Just a couple of tweaks and it would have been perfect ie, no baking tray for the oven, only one tea towel and some of the logs were too big to use in the burner. Having said that, it didnât spoil our week away. Such a lovely place to unwind and visit the local area. We made full use of the bar area (attempting) to play pool. Everyone we met are extremely helpful with suggestions of places to visit and eat out. We will definitely book to return.

There is plenty of space in the bedrooms (we brought a travel cot for our granddaughter) and the living room is very comfortable. Both en-suite bathrooms are also spacious. We also enjoyed using the swimming pool in the country club where the staff were very friendly.

So struggled to make adequate meals apart from salads. The bifold doors face the gravel drive and we did find that cars slowed down to have a good look in as they passed. The property is in an excellent position for visiting the surrounding area. We didnât use the facilities at the club so cannot comment on them.
