How Park Farm
No. 34 (1997)
What a find for visitors looking for luxury bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation in Hampshire. How Park Farm, a glorious flint and chalk house dating from the 17th century, overlooks the River Test - offering arguably the finest chalk stream fishing in the world. The Clarendon Way runs by the gate, and for trout fishermen, the imaginatively restored John of Gaunt lakes are just a five minute walk away.
The accommodation is tastefully decorated, warm, comfortable and a real home. There is a well stocked library for bookworms, a piano waiting to be played in the drawing room and a secluded walled garden and orchard to enjoy, where chickens and peafowl scratch contentedly under apple, plum and greengage trees and ducks swim on the lake.
The B&B accommodation is total luxury and features a large double room with original oak beams, a blue draped canopy bed and an en suite bathroom. It is south facing with views over the valley, The Forest of Bere and Hampshire countryside.

Your Hosts
Caroline Halse is your host her at How Park Farm in King's Somborne. Caroline has restored a gravel quarry into seven acres of landscaped garden and enjoys walking her B&B guests around the area and explaining how it all came to be, from gravel extraction 70 years ago. The dogs, peafowl, guinea fowl and various ducks lend colour to the scene.
Although Caroline does not now do dinners, B&B guests can enjoy, in walking distance, the Crown pub in the village which friendly and excellent or Stockbridge with The Google Foodie Award is seven minutes by car and has several eating places.
Caroline’s breakfasts are a memorable occasion for B&B guests with fresh eggs from the hens, homemade jams and marmalades and always fresh compote of fruit from the garden, in fact all the elements that make a truly wonderful Wolsey Lodge B&B break away.
