Hampshire is a popular holiday area, with tourist attractions including its many seaside resorts, the maritime area in Portsmouth and the motor museum at Beaulieu. The New Forest National Park lies within the borders, as does a large area of the South Downs which is scheduled to become a National Park.

Hampshire has a long maritime history and two of England's largest ports lie on its coast. The county is famed as home of the writers Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.

Hampshire enjoys a milder climate than most areas of the British Isles, being in the far south it benefits from the climate stabilising effect of the sea and protected against the more extreme weather of the Atlantic coast.

If you come and stay with us during one of the many international and national yacht races, including the famous Cowes Week 11th - 18th August 2012, enjoy the splendour of all the yachts competing in The Solent which can see 8000 sailors taking part. Harrington Homes are also specialists in crew accommodation with availability for the Fastnet 2013 Race.

If you would like to combine your stay with being on the water, we are able to arrange rib rides, days out sailing, powerboat trips, evening sailing or fishing trips, which are all great ways of exploring what the area has to offer.
