The Old Byre

About this property

The Old Byre is a picturesque cottage located in the charming village of Woodfalls in Wiltshire. Nestled between Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and New Forest National Park, this abode offers an idyllic and peaceful retreat for families, friends and their furry companions. Step into your new home away from home to find a rustic and beautifully-decorated space with beams and vaulted ceilings. Here you'll find a lovely bespoke country-style hand painted kitchen with feature lighting crafted out of old milk churns, where you'll whip up delicious meals to enjoy in the dining room or out on the patio when the sun is shining. Retreat to the lounge and sink into the plush sofas by the woodburning stove for a well-deserved post-dinner nap or to watch a movie on the TV. You'll also have access to the property's vast collections of books so you can pour into countless stories during your stay. As the day winds down, take a relaxing bath or shower before slipping under the freshly-washed linens of the soft beds. Venture out to visit the village and stop at the village shop to stock up on some essentials. If you don't feel like cooking check out The Woodfalls Inn for a delicious and hearty meal or Kings Head with its beer garden you can sit out in when it's warm. A short drive away you'll find the stunning medieval city of Salisbury where you can stroll through and take pictures of the imposing Salisbury Cathedral, home to the Magna Carta. Then, head for a picnic at Harnham Water Meadows, a serene nature preserve with walking tours. End this day trip with a visit to the National Trust's 18th-century Mompesson House. Take the scenic route to wonderful port city of Southampton and discover more about the history of the Titanic at SeaCity Museum, visit the restored Tudor House & Garden with a on-site cafe where you can stop for lunch and why not end the day with a family dinner at the waterside Banana Wharf? Or visit the fabulous Paultons Park. The Old Byre promises an unforgettable stay for everyone.

This small community, well served by local amenities, is found close to the banks of a tidal creek which leads to the Solent, a favourite mooring for yachtsmen. There is so much to see and do in this area catering for all tastes and ages – from the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Queen Victoria’s Osborne House, and Quarr Abbey, to Robin Hill Adventure Park and Brickfields Horse Country. The seaside resort of Ryde is only 4 miles away, offering 6 miles of superb sandy beaches, numerous attractions, including ten pin bowling and an ice rink, as well as a great selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. In fact, there’s so much to do that a week isn’t nearly long enough!
