Mini holidays in and around Petersfield
Why not consider a refreshing change of pace this summer? With the world still navigating its way through uncertainties, there’s a brilliant alternative to flying across the world: a local staycation. Ditching the traditional holiday plans, you may discover the hidden treasures just outside your garden! So, let’s embark on a few examples of why staying close to home might be a brilliant option for a last minute summer holiday.
Adhurst Yurts
Adhurst Yurts, Adhurst Estate, Sheet, Hampshire, GU31 5DZ
Located on the border of West Sussex and East Hampshire there is a gorgeous ancient woodland within the South Downs National Park, and tucked in there are the Adhurst Yurts and Cabin. This is the perfect nature getaway, as there are no public footpaths, so you can sit back and enjoy the surroundings without the crowds of local walkers. If you are in for a family getaway, they have the perfect thing for you. The banks of the River Rother is a brilliant excuse for a splash with the kids and dog. Then after a nice long day outside, you have three local, rustic pubs just a short walk from the Adhurst Yurts site.
