Local attractions

We are fortunate enough to be within walking distance of Botley which boasts shops, restaurants, and pubs for visitors to enjoy. Being set on the beautiful River Hamble means that there are plenty of nearby fishing spots to take advantage of. Alternatively, if it is horses you are interested in, why not visit our next door neighbors, a well established equestrian centre.
