A farm has been awarded a grant of more than £16,000.
Hilltop Farm in Awbridge received the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) grant from Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) to upgrade its micro tourism business.
The investment will fund a new shepherd's hut, a shepherd's hut bathroom, and an improved sewage treatment system.
The new facilities are expected to boost bookings by offering unique accommodation options.
Jenny Govan, the owner of Hilltop Farm, said: "The grant has been crucial in allowing me to upgrade the facilities.
"Our business offers an exclusive retreat experience on private land, featuring bespoke shepherd's huts."
Councillor Terese Swaine, portfolio holder for community, leisure, and tourism, said: "Supporting local businesses like Hilltop Farm is essential for the growth and sustainability of our rural economy.
"We are thrilled to see Hilltop Farm thrive and contribute to our community."
Hilltop Farm is set to welcome guests in 2025 to experience the new facilities.
