Surrounding Area, Activities and History
Lone Barn is ideally situated for short breaks, holiday and business accommodation offering a rural respite in idyllic surroundings. Only 1¼ hrs from London (A3) and 20 min’s from the Cross Channel Ferries. Set in the heart of the Hampshire countryside in a rural, secluded position midway between the famous village of Hambledon and Catherington. The A3 (8mins) gives easy access to the market town of Petersfield to the North and the historic maritime city of Portsmouth to the South. Lying to the East and West are the ancient cities of Chichester and Winchester both within easy reach.
Lone Barn (originally a farm) has a French/European atmosphere with a gravelled courtyard surrounded by the 18th century barn, cottage and main house. Nestled in the valley just off the South Downs beneath Broadhalfpenny down – the home of English cricket. The owners, Paul and Melanie Flint offer both Country Bed & Breakfast and self catering.
Lone Barn is also excellently located for the Goodwood. So if you are looking for self catering or bed and breakfast accommodation to attend either the races or the Festival of Speed or Goodwood revival then Lone Barn is only 35 minutes away.
For walking and biking enthusiasts, there are picturesque walks from the door on the extensive bridleways/footpaths that surround Lone Barn.
The South Downs are only 1½ miles away and the Queen Elizabeth Country Park (4miles) offers horse riding, mountain biking and again an extensive walking area. Beaches, sailing, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, swimming and tennis are all easily accessible in the area.
