Hi my name is Emma :) Westerlands farm is where I grew up , so its my family farm which I love very much! I used to be carpenter so every accommodation situated here, the yurt, shepherd hut and cabin I built and decided to make them into places for people to stay, as I too enjoyed living in each one in different stages of my life. I hope you will enjoy it too! Westerlands feels very cut of from the busy world outside, there is a lot of open space and amazing views of the South Downs. I always feel very free here and instantly relaxed., hence why my sisters and I have still not flown the nest ! Instead we work together to make this place almost a retreat for others to enjoy nature, and the wonderful activities you can do here ie horse riding, walking or renting an electric bike to explore further afield though the idyllic quiet countryside. There is also excellent pub s near by, some within walking distance and beautiful old historical towns close by to explore.

Westerlands is set in the South Downs National Park, on a quiet farm, this cosy self built cabin, makes it a peaceful spot for a romantic getaway. Impressive views of the South Down hills from your own private outdoor bath and fantastic star gazing. There is plenty of gorgeous woodland walks close by, as well as links to the South Downs way and several lovely local pubs nearby. We now also offer horse riding, yoga, sauna, massage & reflexology, so why not treat yourself? It’s cosy in the winter, well-insulated and once the wood burner is going you will be very toasty. In the summer, you can enjoy the outdoor garden in front of the cabin, there is a hammock to lounge in and a outdoor bath that is suitable throughout the year with sweeping views of the South Downs! Facilities: The cabin has a king size bed and a simple double size sofa bed below if needed. ( Please note it is a small double and probably more suited for kids then adults.) Bedding and towels are provided (but please let me know if you need extra bedding for 2nd sofa bed.) There is electricity, so you can charge phones and laptops. You will have your own private outdoor bathroom , with a outdoor bath, shower, compost toilet and running water that can be used for drinking water which is approximately 3 or 4 meters from the cabin with some steps down that leads to it. Also please be aware the cabin main bed has to be climbed up by a ladder, which is part of the design, you can see in the photos. The Cabin has a fairly basic kitchenette area inside with a electric hob cooker, a small fridge, a kettle, cooking pot, frying pan, plates, bowls, cutlery, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and cooking oil are also available. There is a fire bowl provided outside to make a fire or cook food on. (Fire logs and kindling are provided to make one or two fires and if you need more we sell bags of logs, we don't sell kindling but you can purchase that at local garages or village shops perhaps )

The South Downs Way takes around 1hr walk to access and there are many circular routes back to the site. To find excellent walks around here please download a free app called Alltrails, really easy to use or I have os maps provided in the accommodation where you can follow your own footpaths from the farm. Most Thursdays to Sundays, during spring&summer holidays, our local campside called woodfire we’ll be cooking up something delicious for breakfast and evening meals. It’s always over woodfire or charcoal, either on the grill or in the pot. Breakfast tends to be tea or coffee with a bacon/egg sandwich or avocado bagels. Dinner is usually grilled meat or fish and salads or delicious stews with gremolata and home-made flatbreads – we always provide a vegetarian option. Our meat is free range; our salad and many of our vegetables come from the nearby kitchen garden and wherever possible, we source our ingredients locally. Plans for summer 2020 include outdoor feast nights and guest chefs, as well as day and residential mid-week courses in fire-cooking, foraging and butchery. (let me know if your interested in eating here , as i will send you the menu a week before. Orders have to be placed 5 days before arrival) (Woodfire campsite is closed from October till the end of March ) There are local heathland areas and Petworth Park to enjoy walking in. The River Rother and Arun are close by, which runs through Arundel that has a stunning cathedral and castle with breath taking views. There is also the Pulborough Brooks Nature Reserve around 20-30 minutes drive away. The picturesque village of Graffham is a 5 minute drive or beautiful 30 minute walk away with a well stocked and friendly village shop with yummy pastries in the morning.
