Escaping to the countryside for some fresh air and rejuvenation is likely to be quite appealing after the year we've had.
Where better to get away from it all than in a private lodge or cottage, here at your favourite country retreat, with peaceful countryside surroundings, only 1 hour from London and 40 minutes from Brighton.
We've pro-actively freed up some dates so when we re-open again after England's third lockdown on Monday 12th April, we'll have individual properties on the estate available for a very limited time, for couples and families in the same household to book a staycation in a covid-secure, safe environment, surrounded by nature and breath-taking scenery.
We have several properties in close proximity but each has their own privacy and self-catering facilities. This means households can go on holiday here in the Sussex countryside, either on their own in their own property, or several households can book several properties, whilst being able to comply with government guidance for travel and overnight stays until we revert back to exclusive hire.
Although health and wellness retreats remain an important focus for us and can be hosted again from mid-May this year, we've released a selection of dates over which individual properties can be booked in April and May. Dogs are welcome, although only permitted in the converted barns and the ground floor of the farmhouse, subject to acceptance at the time of booking.
With exclusive use, our maximum capacity is usually 32 guests. When properties are booked individually and with limited occupancy in the farmhouse, the maximum number of guests we’ll have across the whole site at any one time, if all of the properties are fully occupied, will be up to 25 guests, unless a family in the farmhouse is from the same household.
Having undertaken all national risk assessment and having gone a lot further implementing our own stringent cleaning and change-over regimes, you can book with confidence knowing we are a covid-secure venue and we have made huge investment in commercial ozone machines to eradicate virus in spaces between guests. Combined with having lot of separate buildings and a lower occupancy across the whole site, it's never been safer to stay in Sussex countryside.
To help you decide which property to pick, below is summary of what's available, with a few photos, brief description and price guide for each. Please do get in touch to find out what dates we have available.
