There are smart country house hotels, inviting pubs, ancient coaching inns, fully serviced campsites, welcoming B&Bs, and converted barns. Set yourself in the idyllic countryside where you’ll open your curtains to breathtaking views of rolling chalk downland, and rose-scented gardens, or opt to stay in the heart of the bustling market towns with local shops, restaurants, museums and attractions on the doorstep.
Base yourself amongst it all Base yourself in one of Test Valley’s historic market towns and find yourself just footsteps away from historic settings and things to try. Stockbridge’s picturesque Georgian High Street offers a wide variety of shops from an art gallery, interior design studio and boutiques to specialist food shops, including a fishmonger, greengrocer
and butcher. Andover has a compact and bustling town centre, with a very pleasant pedestrian environment boasting more than 200 retailers, from high street favourites to an array of specialist independent shops and boutiques. The ancient town of Romsey offers a wealth of independent boutiques and high street brands, as well as a fantastic selection of eateries.
B&Bs B&Bs offer that homely feel as well as a delicious breakfast on the table each morning. Snuggle up in a cosy 17th-century cottage, book a charming 16th century listed farmhouse or relax in tranquil Georgian houses - the B&Bs in Test Valley have their own piece of history on the doorstep and provide great value for money.
