 Ibthorpe Manor Farm - Luxury Bed & Breakfast.
Ibthorpe Manor Farm is a Grade II* listed Queen Anne Manor house, which has recently been fully restored and updated to the highest standard. The house has been beautifully furnished throughout, merging antique furniture and furnishings with modern facilities. The original house is dated 1765, with additions rebuilt in 2008. The outbuildings are older, with medieval origins, and the thatched threshing barn is purported to be the largest of its kind in Hampshire. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and decorated, and each has its own immaculate en-suite facilities. Wi-fi is available throughout the house, and there is ample on-site parking. Ibthorpe is a picturesque hamlet in the Bourne Valley in north Hampshire, southern England. The farm is now run as an equestrian stud, and we offer accommodation for horses as well as riders. We run a number of specialist equestrian clinics throughout the year, and will happily create programmes together to suit any standard of rider.

For 2009, the house has been rated 5 stars, with an additional Silver Award for excellence, by The English Tourist Board.

Our 3 bedroom cottage is available for rent throughout the year, for a minimum period of 1 week. This has been fully equipped to the highest standard and is adjacent to the house and thatched stable block. For 2009, this has been graded as 4 Star self-catering accommodation by The English Tourist Board.

6 Miles north of Andover and 11 miles south of Newbury, between Junction 14 of the M4 and the A303/A34 intersection, we are perfectly positioned for exploring the scenic countryside of Hampshire and Wiltshire, as well as offering a comfortable home from home for corporate guests.Please contact Joanna Jensen at: Tel: +44 (0)1264 736 672
