Come together in the evening in the open-plan living and dining room, with a Smart TV in here to entertain, and a dining table to gather around for a family meal and toast to your happy holiday. A good range of appliances sit within the kitchen assisting you on your self-catered stay, including a fridge/freezer and an electric oven and hob. Relax in the large garden where children can play on the lawn while adults can sit at the furniture and sip a refreshing drink. Choose to freshen up in either the ground-floor shower room, or the family bathroom on the first floor, with Barngreen boasting four excellent bedrooms, so it's perfect for three couples or two families. The village of Denmead presents a great selection of pubs and an excellent restaurant to visit whether for lunches or evening drinks, you can find a friendly welcome, or visit the neighbouring town of Waterlooville. Embark on the exploration of the South Downs National Park beginning with a walk or cycle ride up the Meon Valley, with the River Meon being a chalk stream supporting valuable wildlife including kingfishers, otters and brown trout, you can enjoy beautiful scenery as you head deeper into the park. The Queen Elizabeth Country Park is another great place to start in your South Downs discovery, with cycling and horse riding trails cutting through picturesque woodlands, and a café and visitor centre to stop in. The Butser Ancient Farm is a fascinating archaeological site carefully reconstructed to show what an Iron Age settlement would have looked like as well as growing prehistory crops and keeping rare breeds of livestock, and is just under ten miles away near Chalton. A day out at Marwell Zoo is a must to see the tigers, giraffes and over 170 exotic and endangered species in a huge park, great for all ages. Visit the waterfront city of Portsmouth and discover a world of attractions; from the beaches with views out to the Solent, Blue Reef Aquarium, Clarence Pier amusement park, the Historic Dockyard and Spinnaker Tower, there is so much to see in this historic harbour town. For a diverse holiday filled with coastal delights and country gems, Barngreen will be the perfect Hampshire base.

Denmead is a small but lively village resting in Hampshire, just below the borders to the South Downs, and north-east of Portsmouth. Once a more rural settlement, Denmead now enjoys a great selection of pubs, as well as shops and local businesses, and is next door to the village of Waterlooville.
