Dairy Cottage at Cowgrove Farm, Ropley, Alresford, Hampshire
Dairy Cottage is located on the periphery of Ropley village, offering a peaceful retreat just a short walk from the community-run village shop, church, and cricket field. Close by is Alresford, a rural market town known for its independent shops and variety of eateries, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the River Arle. Interestingly, the town and river have different spellings, adding a unique charm to the area.
Converted into a holiday cottage in 1992 when the farm ceased milking cows, Dairy Cottage sleeps up to five people. The farm continues to operate as a small holding, producing hay and silage to feed the cattle during the winter months.

There are two additional single bedrooms, one of which is very small with a 2’6” bed.

Ropley is ideally situated between the cathedral city of Winchester and the market towns of Alton and Petersfield. The nearby town of Alresford is particularly pretty, where the River Arle flows into a lake, offering fishing opportunities and serving as a reservoir for the River Itchen navigation. Visitors can take a pleasant stroll along the river, passing the historic Fulling Mill.
