The Crest Droxford

The Crest Droxford is a stylishly furnished tucked away detached country home and annex, perfect for multiple families / groups of friends. 👪

We were with englishcountrycottages and luxurycottages for 4 years and this is our first year with homeaway. Follow The Crest Droxford on social media for updates on local events and special offers.

If you see a gap in our calendar but it doesn't meet our minimum please just send me a note and we'll see if we can fit you in 😊

Our pretty detached holiday home enjoys a rural location and lies on the edge of Droxford Village in the beautiful Meon Valley and South Downs National Park, within the Winchester district .

As soon as you walk through the door you'll see that both the house and the annexe are different from your usual holiday home, stylishly furnished to a high standard and spaciously laid out. We loved it as soon as we bought it as our family home in 2010 and I know you will too!

The large lawned garden at the Crest is a haven in the summer months, providing a perfect setting for al fresco dining with friends or family.

Within the grounds are a childrens 2 storey wooden playhouse and swing, a large gas BBQ and various eating areas.
