Set on the owners’ farm in the village of Walberton, this welcoming wooden lodge is an ideal base for couples looking to explore the very best of West Sussex.

A short drive brings you to Arundel (4 miles), where the impressive Arundel Castle dominates the skyline. Equestrian enthusiasts and petrol heads will love the nearby Fontwell Racecourse (2.5 miles) and the world-famous Goodwood Estate (7.5 miles). The wide choice South Coast beaches (from 5 miles) promise sandy strolls, refreshing sea breezes and classic promenade ice cream stalls.

Another must-visit is Petworth House (14 miles), where majestic interiors, an exceptional art collection, and expansive Capability Brown parkland await.
Before stepping into this charming property, take a moment to appreciate its wood-clad design and scenic position overlooking the on-site fishing lake – guests are invited to catch and release for free throughout their stay. Head inside and be greeted by a studio-style living space that combines a lounge/kitchen/diner with a restful king-size bed. Here, Scani-inspired features blend with modern comforts for a relaxed stay. Unwind in the lounge after days of outdoor adventure; sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV and sit in the glow of the roaring wood burner. When stomachs begin to rumble, find that the kitchen boasts everything needed to cook holiday feasts, to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar or alfresco-style out on the decking. When it’s time to call it a night, retire to the regal king-size bed and start the next day with a soak in the sleek shower room.
Step outside to the covered decked area, complete with comfortable patio seating and a hot tub, where you can soak up the tranquil lake views. Fishing enthusiasts can also enjoy a peaceful spot of angling, with all fishing operated on a catch-and-release basis. With private parking for one car, you’ll have everything you need for a hassle-free stay.
