About this property
This beautiful 4-bedroom cottage, Wheatlands, is the perfect spot for a family or group holiday in the bustling seaside town of Hayling Island, Hampshire. Set near popular attractions, amenities, walking trails and beaches, the cottage sleeps up to eight guests and also welcomes one well-behaved dog; idyllic company for those seaside strolls. Arriving at Wheatlands, park up on the private driveway, whilst heading indoors to the bright and airy living/dining room. Flooded with natural light from the bi-fold doors, and designed with a contemporary feel in mind, use this space to relax, dine, catch-up or opt for a film night, providing enough space for all eight guests. Next door you will find a shaker-style kitchen, kitted out with state-of-the-art amenities, delivering both a convenient and sleek self-catering experience for your stay. A utility room is located next to the kitchen, with laundry facilities, helping you keep your personal belongings fresh after a day in the countryside. Why not make the most of your own private sun trap, by venturing outside to the enclosed garden, both peaceful yet practical, with a covered pond, dining seating and a luscious lawn to enjoy; sit back and listen to the birds tweet and the pond flow, helping you retreat from the hustle and bustle. As the sun sets, rest your head in one of four bedrooms, all stylishly furnished and well-positioned with privacy in mind; there’s a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a double with en-suite, a ground-floor twin with access to a separate shower room, and a double with en-suite situated in the external annex, the perfect escape for teenagers or grandparents. If you're looking for a place to enjoy the outdoors, look no further than Hayling Island; you’ll be a stone’s throw away from hidden gems, harbours, surfing hotspots, nature reserves and eateries. Head out to Bridge Viewpoint, the sandy shores of Thorney Island Beach, and Dunreyth Alpacas, to feel at one with nature. With years upon years of history across the county, visit Cumberland House Natural History Museum and observe ancient exhibits of fossils and dinosaur skeletons, tour Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and experience one of its simulations, or encounter the tale of D Day, at the D-Day Story Museum. Royal Armouries: Fort Nelson, Hayling Island Sailing Club, and South Downs Planetarium & Science Centre are all family-friendly attractions, whether you’re searching for history, hoping to learn about astronomy, or simply adore the water. For a memorable trip to Hampshire, choose Wheatlands as your family abode.
Hayling Island is located south of Havant, between the charming Langstone and Chichester Harbours, with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight and a variety of family-friendly attractions. This island, which is a classic coastal resort, has three famous beaches that are ideal for walkers and environment enthusiasts. The four-mile-long Hayling Billy coastal path is another popular destination for walkers and cyclists, and the area also provides a variety of sports such as windsurfing, sailing, kite surfing, and golf. Roller coaster rides at Funland amusement park are among the activities available to children. Emsworth, a market town near the Hampshire border with tiny streets, a harbourside, charming pubs, restaurants, and specialty stores, is well worth a visit.

Our dog loved it in the garden as it is nice and secure so no chance of him escaping. The house is so close to the sea and we were blessed with nice weather and the most amazing sunsets from the beach. We normally stay in rural cottages but this has changed our minds as there is so much to do and lots of local shops and places to have a cheeky drink. Would highly recommend Wheatlands. Worth noting that on arrival we had a couple of minor hiccups but these were dealt with promptly by the owner which was amazing.

Great layout and loved the tiled flooring, rather than carpet; especially handy coming in with our pet. Daughter fell in love with the cabin and made it her home for the week. Beautiful garden and loved the sound of the pond. Downside: upon arrival it was apparent the property hadn't been thoroughly cleaned; previous occupiers must have had a black dog as the house was covered in thick, black dog hair. The bathrooms were pretty grim; thick dust behind toilet seat, on mirrors and generally everywhere. Pull out cupboard in kitchen had old food in it and covered in crumbs. Two of the toilets actually had poo steaks as well!! Maintenance issues: hand held shower wasn't working. Scalding water in bath and struggled to turn temperature down. Internet connection hit/miss. However, if these issues were sorted out/resolved, which is just about more attention to detail, we would recommend.

Beautiful patio and pond. Itâs a short walk to the beach and local shop. Wheatlands is located in a lovely quite road. My family I had a perfect 7 night stay with our dog and could not ask for anything more. Owner on hand just a text conversation away, I would give 10/10.
