Accommodation & Dining

You have a private bedroom in one of the two houses on the Riversdown House estate, which is set in grounds of about 20 hectares, deep in the Hampshire countryside.

The main house is a protected building dating back to the 14th century. The foundations of the original mediaeval Hall were laid in 1328. The novelist Jane Austen is said to have spent weekends here.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served every day, and we cater for all dietary requirements. Our chefs provide international cuisine, incorporating ingredients from our award-winning butcher in West Meon, fresh Hampshire trout, watercress from nearby Warnford, and other local produce.
