The Experience

Working farm with sheep, geese and chickens deep in the Sussex countryside. Zsa and Stephen’s friendly family house is full of books and comfortable places to perch. Close to Gatwick too, so an easy stopover.

Your large bedroom gets the morning sun and has a Juliette balcony – little ones can have a grandchild’s room if needed. Breakfast includes home-laid eggs, locally grown tomatoes and mushrooms, fruit from the orchard, yogurt and croissants. Eat at the table in the big kitchen or out on the patio when it’s balmy.

Explore Zsa’s brimming garden, which she opens for the NGS; find wild areas, mown paths, veg patch and aviary – tennis courts and trampoline too. Walk across fields to eat at the local pub, or head to Southwater (five miles) for more choice, including a good Indian.

Reviews

Zsa is very welcoming and I enjoyed meeting her and chatting to her. Everywhere is beautifully furnished and comfortable. The room itself is massive as is the bathroom, all very well appointed. It has such a warm atmosphere. Worth a visit!

Michael, Tring Mar 2023

From the moment I arrived to the time I (reluctantly) left five days later I was made to feel at home by my hosts Zsa and Stevie. Oaklands Farm is quintessentially Sawdays and captures everything that I have come to expect from them: hospitality, comfort, space, and charm.

Janet, Orpington Feb 2023

We had a wonderful stay and were made so welcome by Zsa and Stephen ( and the dogs!) A lovely spacious room, beautifully appointed with an amazing ensuite bathroom. Locally sourced ingredients made for a delicious breakfast, and our hosts pointed us to excellent local restaurants. All in all, a most enjoyable stay in a peaceful rural location with delightful hosts.

Nicholas, Leominster Nov 2022

A lovely place to stay. Very welcoming; luxurious yet homely; excellent breakfast; comfy bed. Altogether a delightful place to stay. And extremely convenient for visiting Knepp, which is just outside the back gate.

Robin, Bury St Edmunds Sep 2022

We think Zsa and Stephen invented hospitality and then honed it to perfection because we could not have felt more welcome and part of the family. The room had everything we required and was extremely comfortable and breakfast was a delicious and lovely communal experience. We plan to return soon to enjoy more of West Sussex in their lovely home and gardens

Location

The neighbourhood

The peaceful farmhouse has views to the South Downs National Park - great walks in all directions. The garden opens for NGS; there are many National Trust and other gardens in the area to visit, including Parham House just 20 minutes away. Shipley is the nearest village (nearly 3 miles); it has one of the oldest Norman churches in Sussex, built in the 12th century by the Knights Templar. Knepp Castle (3 miles) is the site of a re-wilding project - ponies, cattle, deer and pigs roam wild in 3,500 acres and you can go on a 'safari' or guided walk around the land. Goodwood (heaps of sporting events) and Chichester (cathedral, festivals, gardens, beaches) are both a 40-minute drive.
