“The lodges at Watercress feel like a true home from home, surprisingly spacious with well-equipped kitchens and laundry facilities, and it's a genuine pleasure to be so close to the Ropley steam railway, watching the engines from your window. The surrounding countryside invites exploration, and the staff's attentiveness, even remotely, made a significant difference during a difficult time.”
