The Barn at Hawksfold - Stay With Us

Hawksfold Estate — South Downs National Park

A 16th-century converted barn on a private estate with 50 acres of ancient woodland. Two bedrooms, space for four, and a pace of life you'd forgotten existed.

The Cottage

The Barn is a converted 16th-century Sussex barn on our family estate near Midhurst. Original beams, thick stone walls, and the kind of quiet that only comes from being surrounded by your own woodland.

It sleeps four across two bedrooms — comfortably enough to feel at home, small enough to feel private. Outside, a firepit and barbecue are ready for evenings spent under the trees. There's parking for two cars and not a single reason to move them once you've arrived.

This is a place for slow mornings, long walks straight from the door, and the kind of evenings where the only light comes from the fire you've just made.

50 Acres of Private Woodland

Step out the door and you're in it — 50 acres of ancient woodland on the Hawksfold Estate, yours for the length of your stay. No footpath sharing, no crowds, just quiet trails through the trees with the South Downs Way nearby when you want something longer.

This is a working woodland. We grow and air-dry our own ash hardwood here, so you might spot our drying barns on your walk. Help yourself to a box of EMBER kindling for the firepit — it's the same wood, from the same trees, dried the slow way.

Dog Friendly

Bring them. Fifty acres of private woodland and no lead required.

On Your Doorstep

The Barn sits in the heart of the South Downs National Park, close to some of the best market towns in the south of England.

Midhurst — a few minutes' drive. Independent shops, good pubs, a proper Saturday market.

Haslemere — picturesque high street, great walks to Blackdown and the Devil's Punchbowl.

Petersfield — lively market town with a strong food scene and easy access to the South Downs Way.

Chichester — cathedral city with the Festival Theatre, galleries, and Chichester Harbour a short drive beyond.

Guildford — the cobbled high street, riverside walks, and a bigger town when you want one.
