There are plenty of indoor spaces to gather, relax and unwind against the backdrop of stunning river views, while the outdoors offers guests plenty terraces where they can enjoy getting together, swim in the heated covered pool, have a relaxed BBQ, enjoy sunset sundowners or simply read a book lounging around or finding solitude in a hammock, all while enjoying breath-taking sunsets over the ever-changing Hamble River, soaking up the tranquility of the waterside living and lush countryside.
The property’s private jetty and river land (property side of the towpath and within property boundaries) give private and direct access to River Hamble. The river is tidal and at some points during the day the riverbed runs dry, so it’s a good idea to check tide times if you want to launch your SUP or kayak, and as with all waterside living, always be aware of the changing river conditions and currents. Never leave children unattended.
With so much green countryside directly on your doorstep, you might even be lucky enough to sport some wild deer that occasionally wonder through the garden from the surrounding woodlands and Holly Hill Woodland Park nearby, very early in the mornings. The local area is a paradise for walkers and birdwatchers too.
There are loads to do and explore in the local villages and riverside marinas – all within comfortable walking distance – there are endless waterside activities to enjoy, or just relax in this truly stunning setting.
Guest access
Waterside Escape sits within the exclusive Sarisbury Estate in Sarisbury Green and can be reached via a tree lined country lane running past single residential homes and open horse fields until you reach the gated property at the very end of the lane by the water.
The property is accessed via a large drive through security gate, as well as walk through service gate. The large driveway offers ample private parking for 5 cars.
The surrounding local areas can also easily be reached by foot following the riverside towpath in both directions along Hamble River. And Holly Hill Woodland Park is a lovely sport to walk or go picnic in.
All guests will be welcomed in person to check-in, receive keys and gain access to the property. And also at check-out.
Other things to note
Friendly local dog walkers or horses trundle by, and there is plenty of river activity, but it's all part of the friendly local country charm.
You can store and secure your canoes/paddle board/bicycles outside or in the locked storeroom next to the property, but it is always at your own risk.
Children must always be supervised, as this is a waterside property with a pool, ponds and a jetty, a large garden with sharp drops and uneven ground.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept any bookings with infants or toddlers still in nappies.
We love well behaved dogs and may accept 1 (to maximum 2) well behaved dog on request ONLY. Please send a separate message with details to review. There is a charge for dogs.
