Itâs a perfect size for a couple with a dog, with plenty of places to walk around the site. The pod itself is comfortable, had everything we needed for a four night stay and our dog particularly loved meeting the horses on site. The owners left lots of information for our stay there and checked we had everything we needed. A great place, would happily return.

It's accessible for both drivers and non-drivers too. Everything about it tells you that it's run by people who genuinely care. In my 3 night stay I walked through the fields with my dog and got the bus to Chichester the next day. I enjoyed time spent at the well kept pod too, admiring the craftsmanship and appreciating all of the well thought- through set up (plus the homemade gifts!), my dog loves to lay and watch the wildlife. It's a beautiful place I really felt like it hit the reset button.
