How to find us

St Mary’s Hall is a peaceful location on the west side of Alton in Hampshire. Alton has excellent road connections and is on a direct rail line from London Waterloo in just over an hour.

Responsible tourism

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

Hidden away between the cathedral cities of Winchester and Chichester, this is great walking, cycling and riding country. Invigorating long-distance trails and circular routes dip and rise through ancient woodlands, and out onto the tops of the Downs. We recommend the long distance walking paths which pass directly through Alton (The Hangers Way and St Swithun’s Way), as well as Route 23 on the national cycle network.

Contributing to our environment through our garden is really important to us. We have water-butts on all our down-pipes and we attract many species of birds with our bird-baths, pond and tit-boxes.

The Impacts of this Trip

I know where you can find all things local and promote our local community. I participate in organising at least 1 charity event per year. In 2011, it was a Charity Ball in support of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre in Alton.

My breakfasts are made with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Alton is a regular venue for the Hampshire Farmer's Market and we buy from many of the stallholders, but particularly appreciate Brocks Butchers and the Chilli Jam company.

As a member of the Alton Chamber of Commerce, Business networking groups and the East Hants District Council Steering Group (for tourism), I meet and actively promote local organisations, when fulfilling my own requirements and in recommendation to others. My technology, marketing and business services are all located in our Alton town. I have been instrumental in the set-up and running of an accommodation co-operative where a core group of local bed and breakfast properties work together, operating a mobile phone hotline service and co-ordinating availability diaries every week in order to be able to distribute booking requests .
