Luxury Villas Middle Winterslow

Hello and welcome to Shiralee Bed & Breakfast. We are Ray and Fay owners and managers of Shiralee Bed & Breakfast. Purchased in 1997, we decided to convert the house into a Bed & Breakfast in the year 2000. We applied to have our Brown and white tourist directional sign installed on the A30 which facilitated for the guests the task of finding us in the village of East Winterslow. Shiralee B&B is located on the Hampshire Wiltshire border some 10 miles away from the Cathedral City of Salisbury. It is surrounded by woods and walks close by and the area is said to be of outstanding beauty. Bently Woods is some 1700 acres of forest and footpaths in the village of winterslow donated to the village and run by a local trust and is also home to some of the rarest butterflies species, it happens to be a minute walk from our property. The cities of Winchester, Andover and Romsey towns are also only a few miles away from Winterslow. Stonehenge is 15 minutes drive from the B&B with a shortcut drive via Porton village. The B&B is in full rural location and a very quiet and secluded and peaceful area which makes it an ideal base for travelers to stay whilst visiting sites. The B&B is quirky and full of antiques and memorabilia. As world wide travelers, we acquired many items from abroad which we have put on display but we also have very interesting historical artifacts and antiques which belonged to the previous family generations. From Arts and Crafts to Antiques and vintage cars, the lot is on display for our guests to very much enjoy and find out about our history. Certainly our place is not the average plain and uninteresting B&B and we make sure that your stay will be memorable. We have 5 bedrooms, 4 of which are ensuite and 1 which has a private bathroom opposite the bedroom.. The quadruple Bedroom located on the first floor is also known as Bentley view with 2 sides windows opening onto the famous Bentley Woods, hence its name. A double room also located on the first floor with the view to the rear of the property. This room is also known as the Sedan room and has the private bathroom located opposite. The name of the room is taken from the vintage Ford Sedan car we own, the same model driven by the infamous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde in the USA (without the bullet holes of course). Downstairs we have three Bedrooms. The Cowley is a cosy double room. It has a bathroom which is ensuite and a door accessing a private patio. The name of this was also taken from our very cute vintage convertible Cowley. The triple room has three single beds and is also ensuite. We call it Oxford, named after our vintage Morris Oxford Saloon car. Our front room is a double ensuite and is called Pond View just because we have a Pond in front of the property and opposite this bedroom. We decided to make a small patio adjacent to it for the occupant of the room to enjoy in the summer. Shiralee Bed and Breakfast has been trading for 22 years and as such we have met thousands of people over the years, some of which have become very good friends. We always make guests feel welcome and at home. We are available and ready to provide any information or help needed by our guests and we are always at hand since we are manned 24 hours a day. We love meeting guests and we always look forward to having a conversation with them once they settle in and we try to make them feel at home. We offer advice about where to go for meals, where to go and visit places etc. We love it when they keep in touch with us and send us reports about their onward journey. With many of our guests, we truly feel sad when they depart. For us we like traveling, we also like playing Golf although we don't do enough of it. We enjoy music reading and above all meeting people from all over the world and we love to hear and discover about their different cultures and history. We pride ourselves in being "friendly and helpful hosts'' a statement made by many of our guests. We don't just do the Bed and Breakfast for the money, we love the social side of it. We like to ensure that our guests have a memorable stay with us and thrive on being very helpful and accommodating and sociable. To us it is more important to know that the guests are happy and enjoy themselves and have a good stay and good night sleep. Guests always leave us good reviews after enjoying our freshly cooked breakfast and some of our reviews online are testimony to this. Hot and straight from the stove is how we like to serve our breakfast and our guests like it. It is also plentiful. So if you like a sociable, friendly, peaceful and clean Bed & Breakfast with a delicious, fresh and hearty breakfast then Shiralee is the place for you.
