Gins Barn is a luxurious holiday home located at the end of the Beaulieu River in Hampshire, South England. The property sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms and offers stunning views and spacious gardens. Owned by internationally respected furniture designer Julian Chichester, the barn is described as a fantastic hideaway with a relaxed, luxury, and quirky style. The Beaulieu River, one of the few privately owned rivers in the world, is only 80m away, offering a serene and beautiful setting for guests to enjoy.
The interior of Gins Barn is stylish and comfortable, with gallery-style art, statement lighting, and a mix of antiques and modern designer pieces. The accommodation features a spacious kitchen, a cozy sitting room with a log burner, and bedrooms with country charm. The property is all on one level, making it suitable for guests of all generations. Outside, the barn is surrounded by sheltered, sun-trap courtyard gardens, mature plantings, and a lawned area with exclusive views of the Solent and Beaulieu River.
Guests can enjoy activities such as crabbing on the jetty, exploring the surrounding fields and wetland reserve, and visiting the nearby Royal Southampton Yacht Club for sundowners. The property is suitable for less mobile guests, with wide doorways and parking right outside the main door. Additional amenities include a well-equipped kitchen, free WiFi, and space for up to 6 cars for parking. The property has some house rules, including no parties or events, no groups under the age of 25, and no music after 9pm. Pets are welcome for a small charge, but they must be kept on a leash due to the presence of chickens and wildlife in the area.
