A note from the site themselves...

We welcome guests to enjoy our wonderful forest location. We want our guests to unwind and have a relaxing break where you can listen to bird song throughout the day and the resident owls by night. You might even spot one of the regular deer that visit in the evening.

We all hope to welcome you soon, Susie

Pod - Owl PodSep 2023

We had a glorious stay here! The owl pod was absolutely beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. It was a little piece of woodland paradise and me and my little family will definitely be back! We were lucky enough to see Deer out on the land and there is an amazing pub five minutes walk through the beautiful woods!

Pod - Owl PodAug 2023

Stayed with my 2 children and had a great time. Location was just what we wanted, quiet with plenty of outside space. Woods are a short walk away and the Cowdray Arms is a great pub for lunch/dinner. Pod was lovely and clean with everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Owners were great and very helpful. Thank you!

Lovely little stay

Safari Tent - Safari TentsJul 2023

Really lovely little safari tent, very sweet location and well stocked inside. Only issue is the zips on the bedroom that shelter from the outside were broken, so it was very windy inside the bedrooms. Other than that, was lovely.
