Information about the host

It is surrounded by approximately 90 acres of grazing pasture and woodland. Borough Court offers three bedrooms on a B&B basis. Two large double rooms and one connecting twin which can also be made up as a large double.

Hi, I'm Sophie - and my husband Ed and I have recently started opening up our house to B&B guests. Borough Court is one of the oldest houses in Hampshire and has only been lived in by four families. The house has a fascinating history in relation to those families, and in fact the Princess Royal (Princess Anne) was first introduced to her husband Mark Phillips over dinner in Borough Court's dining room. This was due to the fact Michael (Ed's father) and an Olympic event rider was in the same team as the Princess Royal and they became good friends. We have a website if you want to know more.

Borough Court is based within 90 acres of farmland which belongs to the Bullen family. Ed’s mother breeds event horses and has a small holding of sheep, and there is woodland to walk through which has some lovely bluebells in the Spring.
