Hook is nestled in the far NE corner of the Hampshire and Berkshire borders just 35 miles south-west of hustle and bustle of London. The village is bounded on the east side by the picturesque valley of the River Whitewater, and to the south by two areas of common land - Hook Common and Bartley Heath. Bartley Heath is an area of wet heathland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Bartley Heath and Hook Common are easily accessible from the village and are a great place to enjoy wildlife.

We are on the main line from London (Waterloo) and trains serve Hook station up to four times an hour. There is a fast service to Basingstoke but you will need to catch a taxi back to Hook (15 minutes). Or you can choose the stopping service to Basingstoke which stops at Hook.

We are equidistant between Southampton and London (Heathrow) airports. Typically the service from Heathrow is quicker, more direct and better served. If you are travelling from Heathrow a taxi is the quickest and easiest way to get to us. It is much cheaper to pre-book a taxi to collect you from the airport. We can recommend local services that will collect you. Taking a train journey from the airport is generally not recommended as you will need to change several times to get to us.
