Kingsettle Stud is part of the Cholderton Estate; a 2500 acre privately owned organic farm in the Hampshire countryside, just 15 minutes from the UNESCO world-heritage site of Stonehenge and part of the Test-Valley (world-famous for it’s chalk-stream fishing). Founded in 1890, staying on the Estate is like stepping back in time; their Victorian buildings and walled garden have been lovingly preserved, and with numerous activities and walks through their extensive grounds (or to the local pub!), it’s a destination in its own right. The farm is also within easy reach of London, and has excellent transport links, making it an ideal stop-off for business travellers and families en-route to Cornwall. As well as self-catered accommodation, they host a number of weddings and ‘Pop-Up’ events annually.
Kingsettle Stud offers a totally unique party space to accommodate upto 150 guests, with the grounds providing a myriad of options for humanist ceremonies. They hold a small number of weddings annually, meaning that all of their couples enjoy exclusive use of the Estate, and they also have an open supplier policy so that you can create your day, your way. From the point of booking, their couples become part of the family, and they’re there with you every step of the way. They have a dry-hire option where they pretty much leave you to it; but can also offer add-ons to take the stress out (request their price-list for details). Their approach is very relaxed and friendly, get in-touch with them to arrange a tour.
Kingsettle Stud has various self-catered accommodation options. All accommodation is dog-friendly, with private wood-fired hot-tubs, self-check-in and a minimum 2-night stay.
Self-Catering
All units have a fully equipped kitchen with a small fridge, microwave and electric hob. They will stock your kitchen with a ‘welcome hamper’ of fresh milk, eggs, butter, preserves and a homemade Sourdough loaf.
Other essential supplies are available to purchase from the Cholderton Farm Shop located in their farmyard, a short 10 minute walk away.
Each unit has a fire-pit with grill, and a log fired pizza oven is also available; ask for details.
Garden
Their huts and cottage each have their own private garden with fresh herbs, comfortable seating, wood-fired hot tub and fire pit. The units are in a secluded location looking over a wild-flower meadow. Frequent visitors include deer, hare, foxes, owls, red kites and numerous other bird species. The estate has been organic and sustainably farmed for decades and is a Mecca for wildlife.
Activities on the Estate
They have two bikes available to hire for the day (at your own risk!), and good pubs and a farmshop within walking distance. All units are dog friendly. The extensive grounds (including maze!) are there for you to explore at your leisure and are littered with bronze-age burial mounds and earthworks. In the last decade, two significant hoards have been found (now displayed in Salisbury Museum)!
