Groomes Country House is a stunning Grade II listed property dating back to the 1600s, set in the gorgeous Hampshire countryside on the edge of the South Downs National Park.

The Hampshire setting gives you loads to explore. Walk straight from the front door into rolling countryside or drive to nearby towns like Farnham and Guildford (both just 11 miles away). The massive enclosed garden has multiple dining spots, a BBQ and outdoor fridge for those sunny afternoons when you can't be bothered to go back inside for another beer.

The accommodation is seriously impressive. Six uniquely named bedrooms all have their own bathrooms - the "Dolphin" with its super-king and day bed, "T&Bs" featuring a romantic four-poster and "Toms" on the ground floor with disabled-friendly facilities. Each room has its own character and most feature luxurious baths for a proper soak.
Nearby attractions include Guildford Castle (11.3 miles/20 mins), St. Catherine's Hill in Winchester (27.2 miles/40 mins), Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (34.9 miles/50 mins) and the famous Goodwood Festival when it's running. The local shop is practically on your doorstep at just 0.1 miles away.
Groomes Country House is bloody brilliant for multi-generational gatherings. The games room with pool table and pinball will keep teenagers happy while the piano in the oak-beamed dining room adds class to your evening meals. Pete the host even barbecues for you sometimes if you ask nicely!
