About this house rental
The Crest Droxford. A stylishly furnished family friendly detached house & separate annex tucked away in the South Coast countryside. We have no direct neighbours so you will feel like you have the countryside all to yourselves!
👨👨👧👦 The Crest is perfect for multiple families & groups of friends - read the many reviews to see what our guests say!
As soon as you walk through the door you'll see that both the house and the annex are different from your usual holiday home, furnished to a high standard and spaciously laid out with a high attention to detail. We loved it as soon as we bought it as our family home in 2010 and I know you will too!
Enjoying a rural location, on the edge of Droxford Village in the beautiful Meon Valley & South Downs National Park. Droxford Village includes The Bakers Arms pub awarded 'best Sunday lunch', a shop & post office, great playground and access to plenty of bike trials & walks. We are 20 minutes away from Winchester/Southampton/Portsmouth/Chichester and many more!
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, outside games, a large gas BBQ and various eating areas.
Surrounding Area
Along with many other beautiful villages, Exton is 2 miles away with the fabulous waterside Shoe Inn. West Meon is 5 miles away, with pubs serving great food and where the founder of Lords cricket rests; Wickham and Bishops Waltham are both 6 miles and host an array of little independent shops, cafes, restaurants & foodie pubs.

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Really lovely property in a remote location. Everything we needed for a family get together. Very well stocked, managed to cook a full roast dinner for 9 without any problem. Welcome basket much appreciated, nice touch! You need a car but we knew this in advance so not a problem. Very comfy beds & plenty of hot water. Our dogs loved sniffing in the beautiful garden & also enjoyed their stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
This wonderful property had plenty of space for us all upstairs and down with the attention to detail providing a lovely, comfortable stay. Enjoying great spring weather we also made good use of the big garden with the children loving the playhouse, swing and garden toys. Being close to several local attractions made it a great place to stay. Jo was very helpful answering any queries promptly which was much appreciated.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
Property as described. Well appointed, spacious, comfortable. Well equipped. Thoughtful extra touches. Plenty of toiletries and a bottle of wine and fresh eggs on arrival.
Only one comment that when sitting in lovely garden the noise of traffic on main road is noticeable. Otherwise perfect for our family get-together.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2024
We had an amazing Easter week at the Crest, a beautiful house in the Meon valley, everything we could wish for..... Jo answered any questions and also made sure we had complete peace and privacy..... everything in the pictures and description is accurate, although in real life it's better. My only concern is leaving a great review will only make booking again more difficult!
