A perfect walker's cottage within the Arun Valley and a great outlook to the South Downs
What a great little cottage for walkers. If you enjoy the countryside then you won’t be disappointed basing yourself here at Yew Tree Granary. This quaint cottage borders the River Arun next to the Pulborough Brooks. Behind it you are in the Rother Valley where the River Rother meets the Arun just a mile away at Stopham. Head either way and there are great walks right on the doorstep.
This super little cottage is within the grounds of the owners’ home. It is presented very well offering comfortable accommodation on the one level for two people and although compact it does not feel lacking in space. If you are an avid cook then you may find the kitchen a little limiting since it is fitted only with a two ring hob and a combined microwave and oven, so sufficient for light meals. On the other hand though the local pub is less than half a mile away!
The cottage has a shower room which is a good size and the bedroom with double bed has good wardrobe space. Outside there is a private patio that enjoys the most fabulous views over the Brooks towards the South Downs. A nice place to enjoy a glass of wine following a days walking!
Hardham and beyond
Yew Tree Granary falls within the boundary of the South Downs National Park. Pulborough Brooks which forms part of the Arun valley has many excellent walks both over the Brooks and along the banks of the River Arun offering uninterrupted views south towards the South Downs. Part of the Brooks contains one of the rspb’s major reserves in the south and just two miles from the granary. We carry a link to the rspb reserve within ‘Places to visit’ on our website.
Four miles south east towards Storrington and nestling at the foot of the South Downs is Parham House, a magnificent Elizabethan home that is a real jewel. Again it is featured under ‘Places to visit’ - a half day there is time well spent.
Heading northwest from Pulborough is the historic market town of Petworth. It is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and deer park which was landscaped by Capability Brown. The house and its grounds are now owned by the National Trust. The magnificent country house contains an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. Petworth itself was immortalised in his paintings. The town is full of quaint houses and cottages, many within their own courtyard settings. They are interspersed with antique shops and tearooms so it makes the ideal place for a stroll following a visit to Petworth House and Park.

We had a very nice stay. The accommodation was cosy and clean with comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is tiny but functional for two people. You can cook a simple meal on the two-ring hob or use the microwave. Our host Emma was very friendly and welcoming. The digital radio was a nice touch too, something you don't often find in small holiday rentals.

Yew Tree Granary is a perfect, comfortable, relaxed little hideaway with wonderful friendly owners. The property is beautifully furnished and the description is accurate. We chose the Granary as we wanted to explore the nearby South Downs. An Ordnance Survey map is provided in the property to help plan your walks. Emma the owner also gave some great eating out suggestions as well as a lovely warm welcome. Would definitely recommend!

Relaxing stay in a peaceful cottage type property. Emma made us feel very welcome and could not do enough for us. Lovely countryside. Even the dog had a great time. Highly recommended.
