About this property

AVAILABLE FOR LONGER STAYS FROM 03/10 TO 01/12/2022 - please get in touch for prices and details.

Eastfield House Lodge is a charming 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms cottage overlooking large gardens in a quiet location – it is very easy to access - yet, totally secluded in complete privacy.

It offers ample free parking – in a secure, gated property.

This very private position makes the cottage particularly attractive in the present coronavirus situation - during the lockdown, we are open to key workers only, but are looking forward to welcoming holiday guests again as soon as the restrictions are officially lifted (at the beginning of July, fingers crossed!).

We want to reassure our guests that we are following a very stringent cleaning, sanitising and laundry protocol, leaving a minimum of 72 hours between bookings - therefore, we cannot accept stays under 4 nights anymore, but are hoping you will want to take your time to discover our beautiful region anyway and if you need to stay for over 3 weeks, please get in touch to discuss prices.

Close to many places of interest such as Highclere (Downton Abbey), Stonehenge, Winchester, Salisbury, Bombay Sapphire Distillery, Beaulieu, the New Forest and many more.

Ideal base for fishing on nearby rivers such as the Test, Itchen or Anton.

Perfect for a relaxing break while exploring Central Southern England or to unwind after work in the area.

Well insulated, centrally heated with underfloor heating to the ground floor.

Fully equipped to a very high standard – dishwasher, oven, microwave, large ceramic hob, extractor fan, large fridge/freezer, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster, food processor, washing machine, tumble dryer, iron/ironing board.

And of course – pots, pans, utensils, glasses, crockery, cutlery etc..

Child friendly - high chair, travel cot (with appropriate linen), child-proof crockery & cutlery, stair gates, night light.

Free wifi available – but via a mobile device, so not suitable for streaming or gaming.

Modular sleeping possibilities – 2 SuperKing Size (SKS) beds or 1 SKS & 2 singles or 4 singles.

The property is self-catering, but all the basics are provided to get you started, including:

- Bed linen, towels, tea towels, bathrobes, slippers, hair dryers, toiletries
- Nespresso coffee capsules, tea bags, sugar, salt, pepper
- Kitchen & toilet rolls, hand soap, cleaning products, dishwasher tablets, washing powder

The Lodge benefits from a sunny patio and immediate front garden with table, chairs and sun loungers in the summer.

Guests are welcome to use the whole garden and the family tennis court – plenty of space for children to run about and let off steam on the swings and slide.

The Lodge enjoys total privacy, but we are always happy to help if you need us.

A comprehensive choice of beauty & spa treatments is available in the main house.

Well equipped, tranquil idyll with very friendly hosts.

We had a delightful few days at this very well equipped cottage. Our Hosts were discrete but available and very helpful and interesting. Benedicte's treatments were much enjoyed and apreciated, and Roger's books provided perfect holiday reading. Our dog loved the garden. Thank you! Henry

Like staying with your family

Roger and Bénédicte are lovely people. They make you feel like appreciated family. And when you stay in their Eastwood House Lodge, you get to experience the peace and beauty of their property but from the privacy of your own home. The cottage had huge windows that allow you to feel connected to the outdoors from the comfort of a warm, comfortable space. You feel extra secure because you’re within a gated yard, yet you have the freedom to come and go when you like. There’s a huge kitchen for those who like to cook. The beds and pillows are very comfortable; the cotton sheets and pillowcases are top quality and are so smooth! We enjoyed this property so much more than a hotel and would happily stay there again.

Great Lodge & Location

The lodge is very comfortable, clean and above all else incredibly well equipped, nothing has been forgotten. The lodge looks out on to beautiful grounds. The location is ideal, situated in a very pretty village but near to main roads, enabling easy routes to the many tourist spots. Everything went very smoothly from initial booking to arriving and departure, our hosts were very accommodating. Thank you for a lovely week.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Benedicte Pullen

My name is Bénédicte – I was born in Geneva (Switzerland) where I lived with my family until I married Roger, my English husband, and moved to the UK in 1989 - we have one son who presently lives with us and a (very spoilt!) friendly black Labrador.
Roger also has 2 sons from a previous marriage and 5 lively grandchildren.
In 2003, I refurbished a house I owned in the French ski resort of Les Carroz, into 3 apartments and rented them out through Owners Direct. I really enjoyed making sure people had a good time and we had lots of repeat bookings; however, the distance made things a bit heavy to manage after a while so the property was sold eventually.
During that period, I also trained as a beauty therapist and image consultant and started working from home.
Roger is retired but very active and busy - he helps a lot with everything. He is passionate about flying, motor racing and sailing and has written 5 adventure novels with a new one underway.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Eastfield House and the area when we first visited it. Despite needing a lot of work, both the house and the garden instantly felt like home.
We liked the seclusion and rural feel that gave the impression of being remote - yet so easy to access - being able to get to Heathrow in just under an hour was a real bonus.
Longparish village is beautiful with several bridges over the River Test - famous worldwide for fly fishing - and lovely walks in the surrounding countryside.
Over the years, we refurbished the house and outbuildings and improved the garden and decided to offer Eastfield House Lodge and The Studio Loft apartment (in another outbuilding) for holiday/short term breaks, like we used to do in France.

What makes this property unique

Eastfield House enjoys a very peaceful location yet is so easy to access - it is totally secure in a gated property, with ample parking space, and offers total privacy whether you are staying in The Lodge or The Studio Loft.
The central position of the property makes it an ideal base for visiting numerous places of interest in central southern England.
The Studio Loft was recently refurbished, fitted with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortably furnished - turning it into a light and airy apartment with total privacy.
Finally, staying at The Studio Loft or the Lodge offers the added bonus of being able to enjoy total relaxation from beauty and spa treatments in my home salon (mosaiquebeauty.com) just across the drive in the main house.
