Come in from the cold.
Stay on a family farm in the South Downs. Wood burners lit, a long walk behind you, nothing to do until morning.
Our story
A gamekeeper's house, the farm stables and a barn at the edge of the barley.
Before they were somewhere to stay, they were working buildings on West Marden Farm. We kept what made them good.
Flint walls, old beams, deep windows onto the fields. Then the things you want after a long walk: proper beds, a fire that draws, a bath big enough to lie down in.

This winter
What the farm is like right now.
November to March: short days, long walks and the fire lit when you get back.
At the house
Fire laid when you arrive
We light it an hour before you get here, so the house is warm.
15 minutes by car
Kingley Vale on a frosty morning
Some of the oldest yews in Britain. Up the hill, back for lunch.
In the village
Sunday lunch at the pub
A short walk across the lane. Book a table, it's busy.
From the guest book
“Everything was thought of before we knew we wanted it. The fire laid, fresh eggs from the farm, and the quietest night's sleep we've had in years.”
4,9 across direct and Airbnb stays
Walks from the door · In 3D
Nine walks, one map.
The Octagon walks join up the eight villages around the farm. Turn the hills, pick a route and see its climb, its pubs and the way to it from your front door.
