STAYS FOR GROUPS - THE MEADOW AT SUMMERDOWN

Some gatherings deserve more than a house. They need space to spread out, a fire to gather round and a bit of sky overhead. The Meadow at Summerdown is where you’ll find our four handcrafted shepherd's huts and the Pavilion, a beautifully restored former cricket pavilion, set together on our working peppermint farm and given over entirely to you and yours.

Sleeping up to 12 across the whole site, it's a rare kind of place: unusual enough to remember, generous enough for everyone to feel at home. Whether it's a milestone birthday, a girls weekend with no interest in a spa or simply a chance for old friends to be under one Hampshire sky again, The Meadow is yours to fill with whatever the occasion calls for.

WHY THE MEADOW?

Book the whole site and you get: 4 handcrafted shepherd's huts, each with its own woodfired hot tub, dotted around the meadow; the pavilion, with 2 double bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, a full catering kitchen and an open plan kitchen, dining and living space.

Sleeps up to 12 across the site, so nobody is squeezed into a spare room or a sofa bed.

THE SETTING

This isn't a hotel with rooms to fill. It's your own corner of the farm, with the huts and the Pavilion working together as one place to cook, eat and stay up too late talking.

Summerdown is a family-run, regenerative farm in Hampshire, best known as home to our Black Mitcham peppermint. The Meadow sits at the heart of it, a field away from where that peppermint grows. Days here move at farm pace. Evenings mean a woodburner, a hot tub under the stars and the kind of quiet you don't get at home.

At the centre of the site stands The Pavilion, once the estate's cricket pavilion and now thoughtfully restored using timber from the farm itself. High, vaulted ceilings, warm wood and beautiful stone floors sit alongside a woodburner that anchors the space in every season. It's where the group naturally gathers: for breakfast before a walk, for a long lunch after a lazy morning or for the main event itself.

WHO'S IT FOR?

The Meadow was built for people who want somewhere unusual and unique, not another cottage. It suits:

- Celebrations: birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions

- Friends and family reunions: groups who need everyone under one roof (or four huts and a pavilion) with space to breathe

- Anyone drawn to farm stays in Hampshire who wants something with more character than a standard large group holiday let.

FOOD AND CATERING

Bring your own food and cook together in the catering kitchen, or let us look after you. We can cater for breakfasts, lunches, sharing platters and celebration meals, so you can spend less time at the stove and more time in the hot tub.
