Shepherds hut holiday rentals in West Sussex

Great spot with all the basics needed for a short stay

After walking 56km on the South Downs that day, seeing the Shepherd’s Hut was a delight. As I arrived I just called up Pauline and she met me outside, and chatted me through the area and told me all about the farm which just added to the magic. The hut had everything you need, kettle, fridge, light, electricity and beautiful views. The area was silent and so private whilst just being next to the South Downs Way path. The bed was so comfortable and the hut was super warm. There is an electric heater should you need it in the winter months. I would 100% stay again!

Lovely stay for a few nights. The orchard is beautiful and completely enclosed even for our small dog (and child) so we could let him run around. Next to a quiet road, with occasional cars, the area is peaceful with the sounds of birds and occasionally the cows. We loved having the dining hut too so we could spread out a bit and toast marshmallows. Our five year old loved Dinosaur Island in the nearby country park and paddling in the lake there. We also had a wonderful day out on the Bluebell railway. Great short trip!

Located in a wonderful private garden full of flowers and birdsong. Next to walks and good for cycling; definitely planning to come back.

We had such a nice time, the hotub was bliss and the animals were a highlight of our stay, especially Rusty the cat and the pig. The location is excellent being a 5 minute drive to the town and a short walk to the scenic winery. Would stay again 100%

Lovely stay at an off the grid shepherd’s hut, about 15 min drive away from Brighton. Hut was situated in a very private area surrounded by fields on the host’s farm property. Host was very helpful recommending things to do in the area including a picturesque walk over to a local pub. We really enjoyed the generous supply of firewood for heating the hut, as well as the selection of board games. Thanks again! We will be back, Ana & Chris

Thank you so much, just what I needed. Peaceful, perfectly formed place to stay in a lovely area. I'll be back!

I booked this stay very last minute and enjoyed every second of it. Elaine was very welcoming when we arrived. She made it clear with the instructions for the hut and also had fresh warm homage bread, which was perfect for the morning breakfast with peaceful scenery. The location is perfect, right near the harbour and a lovely farm shop near. I can't recommend this stay enough!

Great location to stay for a local wedding. Sarah was a great host, very communicative and helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at Hilary’s. It was so peaceful and quiet. Immaculately clean and the bed was so comfortable. Hilary was really pick to respond and at short notice. This lovely stay had everything you need even down to thoughtful touches - eggs, milk, scones, clotted cream, jam etc. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back. Excellent!!

Emily is a great host, friendly and helpful. Gave us lots of local recommendations. The place is good, BBQ and fire pit was fantastic. Farm shop is nearby. The only small downside is the traffic noise.

Even more beautiful in real life! This hut strikes a rare sweet spot of being totally secluded, in open beautiful surroundings whilst also with luxurious home comforts. Ecologically and practically thought out and Tracey includes plenty of beautiful touches throughout. One of the highlights for me was the bed! So comfortable and cosy. The welcome hamper was also a lovely touch, and Tracey offered to bring extra and was very hospitable without being at all invasive. I didn’t see a soul for the whole week I stayed (excluding walks to places recommended by Tracey)- however I did see plenty of deer and a whole array of birds. I went on my own and it was very restorative, however I could see it being the perfect romantic getaway for a couple too. Overall it was absolute dream of a stay!

We had a great time this weekend and it's all thanks for Emma and Chris' accommodating nature to us. We had booked last minute and they were very responsive, the accommodation was amazing, super cosy and super clean. We were able to use the pool, the communications were great and the surroundings were beautiful. Emma kindly supported with getting around the area, we recommend that you book taxi's in advance! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay ahead of our friend's wedding. Thank you Emma and Chris, We'll be coming back very soon! Thanks again! Stella

The lake is a little oasis of nature with so much wildlife to take in that I frequently forgot my painting and just sat taking it all in. Cloud cover at night stifled my plan to do a bit of star-gazing, but sitting by the fire watching the bats flit overhead was rather magical in itself. The shepherd's hut has an incredibly comfortable bed and I slept so very well after an invigorating solar shower! I came away with a well rested mind and body and would highly recommend it, if this is what you seek. The site is accessible by bus, but make sure you get off at Tudor Close (don't miss your stop as I did!)

The hut is really cute, it feels very warm and homely and was exactly as it was pictured. The outside area is good, the fire pit was cool and really good for cooking. The surrounding area felt safe and quiet, also lots of birds in the trees and horses in nearby fields. The hut can get quite warm when you’ve been out for the day and the doors are shut so be mindful of leaving food out. A bug screen/curtain on the doors would be nice, other than that fantastic place 10/10 highly recommend. Great for walking and animal spotting, we saw some deer in the woods literally 2mins away and loads of different birds as well.

I stayed with my 5yr old daughter. The first thing she said - ‘feels like we are living in a dream’ and she wasn’t wrong! Isobel has created the most wonderful garden, it felt very special to have a weekend relaxing amongst all the beautiful flowers. The hut was amazing, it had all the required amenities and kept us very comfortable throughout our stay. Isobel left us milk, butter, wine and that lemon drizzle cake! Wow, it was delicious with a cup of coffee! Isobel was very kind to heat the plunge pool which my daughter had so much fun playing in. (Thank you) Isobel and her family were extremely welcoming, I was provided with top service and a dinner booking sorted out for me! We met Ron the dog, who had a great time running around the garden with my daughter, she hasn’t stop talking about him! Such a wonderful stay! We will definitely be back! Thank you thank you so so much!! Kay & Hettie.

We had a wonderful weekend at Katie's shepherds hut - it was absolutely idyllic and we will definitely be back. Katie was also extremely generous with the delicious food and drink provided in the shepherds hut for us to use including delicious eggs from her chickens. Thank you so much!

Had a lovely night in Jennifer’s Shepards hut, beautiful location and felt immediately cosy and comfortable. Beautiful walks in surrounding area and all the facilities to cook a lovely meal around the fire. Slept really well and felt so relaxed. The only downside was no coffee plunger/ jug for the morning, but that’s all. Otherwise perfect and would love to come back. Thank you Jennifer.

One of the best stays I’ve ever had. Such a gorgeous location, the hut was spotless and had everything you needed. From a thoughtful bottle of Prosecco to breakfast. Fiona was super friendly and made us feel so welcome. We will be back again before summer is up, the cows and donkeys made it extra magical. Thank you for having us, and for letting us use your beautiful space. We were so sad to leave, but as mentioned will be sure to return. Highly recommended and everything about this stay was beautiful.

We had the best time ever at Lycia’s shepherd hut. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the Lycia and Michael who showed us to the hut and made sure we had everything we needed and more for our stay. The hut completely exceeded our expectations. The hand-built fire pit and BBQ were incredible touches and we spent our evenings sitting by the fire, looking up at the stars, such a peaceful and unforgettable experience. The hut itself was cosy, beautifully done and far better than we could have imagined. Honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice! We’d recommend this shepherds to absolutely everyone. Thank you for an amazing stay Lycia and Michael, we’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful few days at this beautiful location. We would particularly recommend use of the Wild Spa facilities including the Hottub, sauna and cold plunge! We were also grateful that we booked massages as was well worth the extra money. All felt like a lovely escape and a relaxing few days.

What a beautiful little shepherd hut just a shame we were called away a day early would’ve liked to have stayed the full-time would recommend to stay if you are in the area
