Plan a wedding stay, a family day out or time exploring the Test Valley and New Forest.
Kimbridge Barn is across the road, within walking distance of the hut. Allow for crossing the road and bring a torch for the walk back after dark. Ask us about the walking route before your stay.
Check-in starts at 16:00, so plan your arrival around the wedding timetable. The Barn serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea; check its current menus and book ahead.
Peppa Pig World is part of Paultons Park at Ower. For journey planning, Google Maps estimates about 15 minutes by car from Kimbridge Barn, across the road from the hut. Allow extra time for traffic and check the route before travelling.
Back at the hut, there is room for two adults and two children under 12, with two small bunks, a double bed made up on request, and an exclusive garden area. Cooking is limited to a small hob and microwave. For a meal out, the nearby Bear & Ragged Staff has a children’s menu.
Paultons Park directions and visitor information
The hut is on the Test Way, near the River Test. Hampshire County Council’s Mottisfont-to-Romsey route guide is a useful starting point for planning a walk through this part of the valley.
Follow public paths and respect private riverbanks. Please arrange any fishing access and fishing permissions separately with a provider; they are not included with the accommodation.
In Romsey, visit the Norman architecture and gardens of Romsey Abbey, or check its concert and recital programme before your trip.
For a New Forest day out, Bolderwood offers waymarked woodland walks and picnic areas. Check Forestry England’s current visitor information and trail notices when planning your visit.
