    This is an exceptional cottage in so many ways. If you are attempting the perfect getaway in leafy Sussex, then look no further. The location is sublime adjacent to a farm with early morning wildlife in abundance. The facilities are cutting edge,...

    The cottage was very well presented, clean, tidy and had everything we needed, even down to a snuggly dressing gown. It was a lovely place to stay and Louise could not have been more friendly or helpful.

    Beautiful garden, peaceful and perfect for eating outdoors. The cottage was furnished and equipped to a high standard and although we only had contact through messages with the host, she was friendly and helpful.

    Tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Heerlijke bedden, mooie grote tuin en prachtige omgeving.

    Misschien nog wel aantrekkelijker in het echt dan op de al heel aantrekkelijke foto’s. Zeer mooi ingericht huisje met fijne tuin en prachtig uitzicht

Chase Farm is a working farm located in Southwater where the Edwards family have been residents since 1955. Originally a dairy farm, the land is now grassland and arable, so depending on the time of year, you might have sheep grazing nearby or witness the exciting goings on of the hay harvest in action! You will also have the opportunity to see and hear the local wildlife in the fields from your accommodation; from roe deer, pheasants and foxes to buzzards, tawny and barn owls.
Southwater village developed in the 19th century when the brickworks opened in 1891 to take advantage of the vast Sussex clay reserves until its closure in 1981. These red engineering bricks were especially strong and were used worldwide for bridges, infrastructure and housing, including Chase Farm. Located within 40 miles of central London and 25 miles from the M25, Chase Farm is within easy reach by car or train, yet far enough away to feel like you are really going away on holiday. There are plenty of sporting, social and “foodie” events taking place throughout the year, plus a wide selection of historic houses, castles and gardens to visit. You can spend the evenings sampling one of the many excellent local eateries or cooking a feast under the stars on your own private fire pit BBQ. We look forward to hosting you soon! There is easy access to walks and cycle paths (Southwater Woods, Southwater Country Park, Downs Link, South Downs National Park) and to nearby sites and attractions. Horsham town centre is a 9 minute drive away, and offers a broad selection of shops, boutiques, gastro pubs, restaurants and bars selling craft beers. There is an Everyman cinema, a theatre, and venues hosting live music and comedy events. Horsham Market takes place twice a week. You can sample some of the best street food in Sussex on a Thursday or fill up your fridge with local produce and artisan breads and cheeses from the farmers market on Saturdays.
