Louisa's Cottage - Beautiful Family Property in Rural Hampshire

Louisa's Cottage is one of four holiday cottages on our smallholding. Louisa's Cottage is set in the heart of the beautiful Hampshire countryside with wonderful views across a peaceful valley. It is a quaint and rural haven for visitors but only 10 minutes from Petersfield, with fantastic road and rail connections for London and Portsmouth.

Our smallholding on which the self-catering cottages are set, is just off a green-lane which leads to miles of footpaths, bridleways and fantastic on and off-road cycling.

Louisa’s Cottage has a wonderful open plan living/kitchen/dining area and private patio. There is one bathroom with shower over the bath, loo and sink. Louisa's Cottage is the smallest of our properties, sleeping up to 5 comfortably or 6 at a push! – 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 children. There is a downstairs master bedroom with super king size bed and a large upstairs bedroom with a small double bed, single bed and a single mattress on the floor.

There are three excellent pubs surrounding the farm, all within a half hour stroll or a 3 minute car journey. The quaint and bustling market town of Petersfield is a 10 minute drive from the farm and alongside the two local village shops, these all provide a perfect base for stocking up on essential items. The larger, cathedral cities of Chichester, Guildford, Portsmouth and Winchester are all equally 45 minutes away, offering great shopping and entertainment.

We are so lucky to be within an hour’s drive from one of the premier Blue Flag beaches in the country, West Wittering. West Wittering is a beautiful place to visit, whatever the season, and can be enjoyed by all ages. Hayling Island, a shingle beach (with funfair for the children!) is half an hour from Downlands Farm.

There is no extra charge for use of a travel cot, stair gate and high chair as required. Please contact us for information and to discuss your requirements.

Things to note:

Please note, Stable Cottage, Rose Cottage, Louisa's Cottage and Edward's Cottage are situated on a rural smallholding. Whilst the interior of the properties is beautiful, we would like to make it clear that, at present, the exterior is still a work in progress. This does not detract from the overall glorious setting.

Please note that all four holiday properties are adjacent/joined to one-another. Each house has its own private patio and garden but the parking is shared. Due to the proximity to one-another and also to our house, you will be staying next door to children and animals (and sometimes noisy adults!). We are a laid-back set-up which very much caters for families so if it is absolute peace and quiet you're after, you may want to look elsewhere!! Quiet hours are between 9pm and 9am and we ask that you keep noise to an absolute minimum during these times.

Edward's Cottage and Louisa’s Cottage are a the ‘ends’ and Rose Cottage and Stable Cottage are in the middle.

Due to our rural location, the wifi and mobile phone signal can sometimes be weak.

A car is absolutely essential if you wish to stay at Downlands Farm.

Comfortable, cosy cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in Louisa's cottage, we felt so welcome and settled in in no time. The weather was not our friend and we didn't get to do as much exploring as we would have liked. There are lots of walks around that we would have loved to try, but we'll just save them for next time! It did mean we were in the cottage for long periods of time, but that was absolutely fine as it had everything we could ask for and was super comfortable. Its close to Petersfield too, which is great a wee explore and lots of shops and a market to check out as well. All in all, we had a lovely family reunion over new year, in a lovely cottage, in a lovely spot, with lovely hosts - it couldn't have been better (well, apart from the rain, but that couldn't be helped)!! Thank you Venetia for a great holiday!
