Experience authentic Sussex countryside living on our genuine working livestock farm, where agricultural traditions span generations and rural life continues much as it has for centuries. This is no theme park experience – you’re staying on a real 200-acre working farm where daily life revolves around caring for our cattle and maintaining the land.
Wake to the gentle sounds of farm life: cattle lowing in nearby fields, tractors beginning their daily rounds, and the countryside coming alive with birdsong. Guests are welcome to explore the farm, following our network of footpaths and bridleways that meander through working fields and ancient woodland. Children delight in spotting newborn calves, whilst adults appreciate the therapeutic rhythm of agricultural life.
The farm’s elevated position on the edge of the South Downs National Park provides wonderful panoramic views across Sussex and Surrey, showcasing the patchwork of fields, woodlands, and villages that define this English landscape. The bluebell woods becomes magical in spring, whilst summer brings wildflower meadows buzzing with insects and butterflies.
Agricultural heritage permeates every corner of your accommodation. Dairy Byre retains memories of hand-milking days when fresh milk filled traditional churns for village deliveries. Bulls Box housed the farm’s prized bull, whilst Mouse House stored precious animal feed. These conversions preserve original features – vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and stonework – creating accommodations rich in farming character.
The working farm setting provides educational opportunities for all ages. Observe seasonal agricultural cycles, learn about sustainable farming practices, and understand how food production connects to the landscape. Wildlife thrives here too – spot deer grazing at dawn, buzzards circling overhead, and barn owls hunting at dusk.
This authentic farm stay experience offers something increasingly rare: the chance to disconnect from urban pressures and reconnect with the natural rhythms of countryside living in beautiful Sussex surroundings.
