Really lovely property in a remote location. Everything we needed for a family get together. Very well stocked, managed to cook a full roast dinner for 9 without any problem. Welcome basket much appreciated, nice touch! You need a car but we knew this in advance so not a problem. Very comfy beds & plenty of hot water. Our dogs loved sniffing in the beautiful garden & also enjoyed their stay.
We had the best stay here, the property was immaculate, and the gardens incredible, local walks and pubs were fabulous, and the communication with the owner was quick and informative. We had the best time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home.
A beautiful family home with very good facilities. Comfortable and cosy with plenty of room. Also ideal for our group of friends who needed individual bedrooms. Hoping to meet there again next year.
This was a great place for a get together of a collection of old friends. We cooked, we drank, we hiked. The house was spotless and well equipped, from games through to bathrooms.
Really beautiful house with stunning views - it had everything we needed to make our 4 day stay relaxing. We had a lovely time celebrating an 80th birthday (little welcome pack was provided on arrival with goodies)
The children loved playing with the toys and games provided and the adults relaxed in the lounge or games room!
We would easily return for another holiday, thoroughly recommended :)
It's so nice to hear that you all had a great time away together! Thank you for choosing The Crest Droxford for your get together, we hope to see you again đ
This wonderful property had plenty of space for us all upstairs and down with the attention to detail providing a lovely, comfortable stay. Enjoying great spring weather we also made good use of the big garden with the children loving the playhouse, swing and garden toys. Being close to several local attractions made it a great place to stay. Jo was very helpful answering any queries promptly which was much appreciated.
We had a wonderful post Christmas celebration with family at this beautiful home.
The house was extremely cosy, beautifully decorated and very well equipped.
We could not have asked for more.
We've just come back from a long weekend at The Crest. The house is very comfortable and the welcome basket was thoughtful and much appreciated. The garden is beautiful and we were lucky to have sunny days where we were able to sit outside as well as enjoy the local area.
My family and I stayed at the Crest during a holiday in Hampshire. The home was gorgeous, and our children loved the yard, swing, and playhouse. The home is close to a nice village, and convenient to a number of local attractions. Hi was very helpful with directions and local recommendations. I would definitely stay at the Crest again.
A very well equipped house that catered for 3 generations and our dog. Grandparents with disability stayed comfortably in the annex. The garden is enchanting and the house had a good layout.
Thank you for taking the time to write your lovely review Cate.
I'm so pleased the annex worked out well for the grandparents, that's great to hear.
I just wish the sun would have shined for you all a bit more last week!
Heres to an Indian summer, Jo!
Always a joy to leave a review for a property that impressed us.
Large spacious rooms well decorated and comfy. With a wonderful large garden there is no need to leave if you just want to relax the day away. We were not disappointed.
Thanks for Staying with us Steve, we thoroughly enjoyed you making our home your home for the week and hope you have a cracking rest of the year, happy travelling!

We had a lovely weekend break at The Crest in November. Beautiful home in lovely surroundings. Easy to get to Winchester for the Christmas market and also the sea for a cold swim! Jo provided lots of really useful information and was always on hand to answer any question we had. Fab break!
We recently had a 3 night stay in this wonderful property and loved almost every moment off it. The only negative for us was the road noise from the A32 when relaxing outside in the garden. Apart from that the house, annex, garden and the lovely host were perfection.
Beautiful spacious house and garden with all the facilities you could possibly need. Very clean and well looked after.
Great communication with host and very detailed pre-arrival information.
Would love to return in the future.
Dear Nikki,
Thank you so much for your 5* review. I do hope you had a fun time visiting the local pubs and Bowman Ale brewery (I must get myself up there!).
Have a great summer and we really do hope to see you all again đ

Gorgeous English Countryside Manor House 5 Stars!!
To date this is the most comfortable and beautiful home we have ever stayed. All the comforts of home with gorgeous countryside local towns pubs nearby. Driving easy on country roads, truly an English countryside experience! Jo was easy to reach, had lots of great tips on things to do and how to get around. Highly recommended 5stars!
Dear Chris,
It's been an absolute pleasure to 'meet you' over email and hear all about your adventures! Thank you for taking such good care of the house and you are welcome back any time.
Safe travels
Jo
The house and annex were perfect for a group of friends and one small baby - a short walk from the village, with a lovely local pub, as well as close to longer countryside footpaths for the keen walkers! The beds were comfortable and thereâs plenty of space for everyone. Jo also very kindly lent some electric car charging cables to us when the hire car company weâd used neglected to include them, which really saved the day!
The communication between the owner and us was fantastic, she was always very quick to get back to me if needed.
The house was stunning, very clean, very spacious and the perfect amount of room for all 9 of us.
We had 2 babies with us also, and the baby blanket, cot and bath were a lovely and very helpful touch.
It's a perfect location for a break away, everything is a drive away but that was fine for us.
Droxford is a lovely little village with great pubs!
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back at some point!
Thank you
We had the best long weekend, house was immaculate and included everything we required.
Kids loved the toys in the bedroom, games consoles and garden games.
Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed.
Dog loved the garden and was very secure so didn't have to worry about the dog escaping.
Host very responsive and provided all the details we needed and quick replies to any queries we had.
Will certainly be looking to book again for next year!
Property as described. Well appointed, spacious, comfortable. Well equipped. Thoughtful extra touches. Plenty of toiletries and a bottle of wine and fresh eggs on arrival.
Only one comment that when sitting in lovely garden the noise of traffic on main road is noticeable. Otherwise perfect for our family get-together.
We had an amazing Easter week at the Crest, a beautiful house in the Meon valley, everything we could wish for..... Jo answered any questions and also made sure we had complete peace and privacy..... everything in the pictures and description is accurate, although in real life it's better. My only concern is leaving a great review will only make booking again more difficult!
Lovely house with a beautiful garden. Perfect place to bring together family and friends for a birthday celebration.
Plenty of space to get-together in both the house and the garden. Really well equipped; the house had everything we needed to cater for everyone.
Fabulous views from all of the bedrooms; comfortable beds and lovely rooms.
Great location in the South Downs with lovely walks and cycling routes straight from the house.
The only downside was the road noise at times when sitting in the garden; although this wasn't a problem when indoors.
The house is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped and especially for children, with a lovely doll's house in one bedroom which my three year-old grandson loved to play with. The tree house, swing and car were particular favourites too.
The annexe is an added bonus, with gym equipment upstairs and a well-furnished, comfortable bedroom and kitchen.
The literature sent to us by Jo prior to our stay is comprehensive and we made use of her restaurant recommendations.
The Crest is a place we would certainly go back to.
Thank you for choosing The Crest for your family get together, I'm so thrilled that you had such a lovely time and that your Grandson enjoyed himself so much đ
My family and I have just had a four day stay in this beautiful property and could have not been more impressed. The house is spotlessly clean and tidy, it is well equipped with lots of little extra touches, the bedding was clean, crisp and fresh, and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. We stayed in November so didnât use the beautiful garden to its fullest advantage but the dogs absolutely loved it and it was very secure for them to be in. One small downside was the road noise which could only be heard outside and not in the property at all and it would certainly not stop me returning which we hope to do as we visit this lovely area fairly frequently.
Thank you so very much for your 5* review Kathryn, I really appreciate all the details in it and we very much look forward to your return visit. Good luck with your ventures in Wales xxx

I'm a Mum of 2 (Alfie & Violet) and we returned recently from living in the US, and now live within The South Downs. As well as running The Crest I am a firefighter for Hampshire & IOW. The Crest is our family home we left behind when we moved here in 2014, and because of all of this The Crest is first and foremost presented as a 'home from home' and a place we return to several times a year. We love sharing our home, absolutely love it and I'm sure you will too.
It's simple a beautiful family home set in the most stunning location. You will feel like you are in the middle of the countryside, and yet you are no more than 25 minutes from Winchester, Chichester, Petersfield, Portsmouth, Southampton and all of the treasures these places provide.
We have the real deal when it comes to the best country pubs (White Horse & Bakers Arms in Droxford, Thomas lord in West Meon, The Shoe in Exton to name but a few), renowned walking and cycle routes and Historic sites all around us. It really is somewhere where you can just hang out and relax if you don't feel like exploring.
The house and annex is perfect for everyone to get a little space of their own whilst on holiday.
Space - the house sleeps 9 people set over 2 properties; the main house and a one bedroom annex. There is also a gym area with TV for folks to escape to or for a chill out The Garden is large, spacious and well kept - it's glorious, I love it and I know you will.
As this was, and to a certain extent still is, our home you will definitely notice the difference from other 'holiday lets'. It is truly a 'home from home' and you will relax as soon as you walk through the door.
My mum! My mum (Lynne) looks after the house and you will feel this. You will no doubt speak with mum coming up to your arrival and she is available for babysitting at 13/hr!
We love well behaved dogs. Please check if you are thinking of bringing you canine companion.
