ABOUT
Your own private space
Set apart from the main house, our two individual garden suites offer the freedom and privacy to come and go as you please.
Both have been created with comfort in mind, with lovely details, generous breakfast provisions and everything you need to settle in and relax.
A garden to enjoy in every season
Bootmenders is more than somewhere to sleep.
The garden is an important part of the experience. Created and cared for with a garden designer's eye, it changes throughout the seasons—from fresh spring planting and long summer evenings to rich autumn colour and the quiet structure of winter.
There are lawns and woodland to explore, peaceful places to sit and relax, and your own sunny private outdoor space.
For something a little more unusual, you can also escape to our woodland cabin and gather around an open fire for a wonderfully memorable evening.
Stay, explore, return
Bootmenders is perfectly placed for exploring the Hampshire countryside and the surrounding area.
Discover beautiful gardens and historic houses, walk through the South Downs, explore the independent shops and cafés of Petersfield, enjoy excellent country pubs and restaurants, or simply do very little at all.
We'll be delighted to share our favourite places with you.
