Why stay here ...

My name is Diana and my site is set in beautiful surroundings- in a valley with stunning views and rolling hills it boasts peace and tranquility and is perfect to relax and unwind.
Full of nature there are free range chickens and eggs are available to purchase alongside seasonal vegetables from the cottage garden.
The nearest village is Owslebury and is walkable (include steep hill) there are buses to Winchester and walks and additionally from Longwood too. The local pub is the Ship and was built in the reign of King Charles ll from old shipping timbers hence the name. It is a great friendly pub for a pint and gastro pub food.
Set in the South Downs Park there are some great National Trust sites alongside the South Downs way great for cycling and walking.
Winchester is easy to access by car or bus and is full of history with a cathedral beautiful grounds cute wine bars and restaurants.
Beaches are 17 miles away (nearest ) with great walks nature reserve and visiting the hovercraft museum enroute to Lee on Solent and Stokes bay.
Portsmouth is not too far away for cross Chanel ferry’s and Southampton for crossings to the Isle of Wight.
I look forward to welcoming you.

Lovely site - owner is WONDERFULLY bonkers! Clearly cares about her site - very well kept & dog friendly. A few niggles but enjoyed our weekend!

Diana is wonderful and does so well with the upkeep of this gorgeous little site. There is a separate field which Diana allowed us to let our dog run in (all enclosed), lovely scenery (of the hill) and well kept pitches. A lovely pub which is a walk away (if... Show more

Relaxing stay

My wife and I stayed for several days recently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet and rural with great views of the surrounding countryside. While I would agree that access from the lane into the CL is tight, its very doable - must be if I, a... Show more

We have stayed at this site a few times over the last 3 years and it is sad to say that the facilities are not up to scratch. Waste disposal is terrible and entrance to site very tight even for a small caravan.No greeting on arrival or departure. The owner... Show more

Informal and Relaxed

We have stayed at Dell Croft twice. Diana is very welcoming and relaxed - I've never had a hug from a CL owner before! We like CLs that are informal and this suits us well. While staying there we visited Southampton, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Winchester, The Watercress Line at New Arlesford... Show more

After reading the previous reviews we decided that this was the type of CL we always look for. But we were very disappointed! The CL was down a long narrow lane and not for the feint hearted and the narrowness of the entrance was not made any better by the... Show more
