Assessor comments
"A lovely converted cottage in the South Downs National Park."
Overview
As well as being dog friendly, Teal Cottage offers guests accessible holiday accommodation. Bring the whole family, including the dog, and make memories to treasure at Wallops Wood. Teal has an individual enclosed garden with a patio equipped with hot tub, outdoor furniture and barbecue. Admire the views from two of the bedrooms as well as the garden and hot tub. The countryside views extend across the meadow and the beautiful Meon Valley towards The Solent. The meadow is ideal for children and dogs to explore, and a gate opens on to it from the garden. With accessible features throughout, Teal is suitable for independent wheelchair users as well as those with visual and hearing impairment. In the accessible bedroom there’s a large en-suite wet room which is also the communal bathroom and can be closed off for privacy. Disabled parking is just outside this cottage, and the path is paved for accessibility. Save space in the car by reserving items from the large lists of accessible and children’s equipment to borrow for your stay.
