A Barn and The Observatory at South Downs Stay
This is a unique, characterful and stunning barn, complete with unspoilt views to inspire a feeling of being at one with the landscape! If it’s time to slow things down, relax while connecting with nature in this downland delight!
A BARN
Our rooms are a lovely mix of simple style with modern elegance. The blend of old and new creates an inviting atmosphere that is both comfortable and yet really relaxing. This is truly a very unique timber barn conversion with many unusual touches plus the added bonus of uninterrupted views of the South Downs Arundel Park and River Arun Valley.
Sink into a roll top, double ended bath with bubbles, experience a spacious rain shower and then relax overlooking the stunning landscape.
This is a walker’s paradise, full of trails and paths from short strolls to long hikes. Only a stones throw away from historic Arundel, Chichester, Petworth, The Knepp Rewilding Estate and Goodwood. We welcome you to enjoy the magnificent landscape of the South Down National Park from every window of the property.
If you are looking for a family staycation or pre-wedding venue or just want exclusive use of the whole property, please contact us for details.
THE OBSERVATORY
Our most recent addition at South Downs Stay, The Observatory, is a detached studio that sits in an elevated position above the A Barn. It adjoins a grassland meadow and is a perfect place for birdwatching, photography and viewing the night skies.
With well-equipped self-catering facilities, this studio is an ideal base for a week-long holiday for one or two guests.
Far-reaching, breathtaking and amazing views across three aspects take in the South Downs, Arundel Park and the River Arun Valley. Then as night falls there is something irresistible about gazing up at a vast sky sparkling with stars on a clear night!
It’s a great place to see and hear abundant wildlife in a natural setting especially for those interested in observing birds in their own natural environment. You may even be a budding artists and/or photographer! We welcome you to come and enjoy a stay in this beautiful unique setting!
For the peace and relaxation of all our guests we can only accommodate children of 5 and over in A Barn but babies in cots are welcome in The Observatory. A dog is welcome in the Swan & River room or The Observatory, but prior booking is essential.
