Virginia and David Heffernan would like to welcome you to their beautiful old English Coach house in Fleet, North Hampshire, set within 3/4 acre of attractive grounds. Squirrels Leap is a mellow Victorian coach house now much extended and modernised to offer three double en-suite bedrooms and two spacious serviced apartments with delicious breakfasts.

Squirrels Leap enjoys a peaceful secluded ambience, but is still less than 10 minutes' walk from Fleet high street and Fleet railway station, making it ideally situated for both business and leisure stays.

Squirrels Leap has on first application been awarded a 4**** accreditation with a Breakfast Award and "Families Welcome" award! Squirrels Leap is now officially the highest rated accommodation in Fleet.

Our Rooms

Squirrels Leap offers three delightful double en-suite rooms for Bed and Breakfast visitors. All rooms are available for single occupancy, and one is also available as a Twin with two single beds.
