Blow away those post-lockdown cobwebs with a staycation deep in the Sussex Countryside. Escape to a working farm for a three-night family stay. Bush crafts, bug crafts, nature hunts, giant bubbles, pizza making and more. Visit our beautiful family home, meet the livestock, walk the countryside and finish the day around the campfire before tucking up in one of our cozy Mongolian yurts.
