We're out of town but really easy to find as we're on the A3090 between Winchester and Romsey at Ampfield and less than a mile from the M3. Exit M3 (Junction 12) on to A335 marked Eastleigh North. At first and second roundabouts follow signs to Chandlers Ford. At third roundabout follow signs for Ampfield. Continue straight over the crossroads.

A closer look at the progress of the thatch.
There's a lot of skill and material that goes into making a thatched roof a work of art. Here, our Thatcher's using a legget to drive reed thatching into place.

We're keeping an eye on things with Thatch-cam!
We've installed a time-lapse camera to capture the transformation of the hotel from being shrink wrapped in scaffolding to the full glory of a brand new thatched roof!
