Priors Dean, situated in Petersfield, Hampshire, offers a unique holiday experience with four charming self-catering cottages: Rose Cottage, Stable Cottage, Edward’s Cottage, and Louisa’s Cottage. Nestled in the picturesque Hampshire countryside, these accommodations provide stunning views of a tranquil valley while being conveniently located just 10 minutes from Petersfield. The cottages are part of a small working farm, accessible via a green-lane that leads to numerous footpaths, bridleways, and excellent cycling routes, catering to outdoor enthusiasts and families alike.
The three larger cottages—Stable Cottage, Edward’s Cottage, and Rose Cottage—are designed with a similar layout, featuring light-filled spaces that can accommodate up to eight guests. Each cottage includes two ground-floor bedrooms and a special hideaway room for children, making them ideal for family getaways. Louisa’s Cottage, slightly smaller, can sleep up to five people, offering a cozy atmosphere with a well-equipped open-plan living area and private patio. Additionally, the farm welcomes pets, enhancing the family-friendly appeal of the accommodations.
Guests will find ample opportunities for leisure and exploration, with three excellent pubs within a half-hour walk and the vibrant market town of Petersfield just a short drive away. This location serves as a perfect base for stocking up on essentials, while larger cities like Chichester, Guildford, Portsmouth, and Winchester are all within a 45-minute drive, providing diverse shopping and entertainment options. For beach lovers, the renowned Blue Flag beach at West Wittering and the family-friendly Hayling Island are both easily accessible, ensuring a variety of activities for all ages.
The cottages themselves reflect a long-held dream of transforming a disused barn into luxurious accommodations that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Each property boasts modern amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, private outdoor spaces, and comfortable living areas. However, guests should be aware that the cottages are adjacent to one another, sharing parking facilities and experiencing the lively atmosphere of a working farm. Quiet hours are respected, but the rural setting may not suit those seeking absolute solitude. Overall, Downlands Farm offers a delightful retreat for families and pet owners looking to experience the charm of the Hampshire countryside.
