From the owner

The Old Stables Cottage is a luxury, single-storey property with vaulted ceilings, on our working family farm in the downland village of West Marden, Nr. Chichester, West Sussex. Graded by The AA as 5 Star with a Gold Award, this very spacious property is extremely well equipped and sleeps 4 people in 2 ensuite bedrooms. An extra Z-bed or Cot and high-chair is available to hire, if required.

The Old Stables has its own large patio garden with barbecue and wooden table and chairs. If you have more than 4 in your party we do have accommodation for 2 extra guests in our farmhouse on a room only basis.

In high summer (mid-June to mid-September) guests staying at the cottage have the shared use of an outdoor heated swimming pool (Monday to Saturday 8 am to 2 pm) and a large lawned and walled-in garden, which is ideal for children.

Lovely walks or bike rides may be taken straight from the door. The village pub is only a 75 yard short stroll and a village shop with a tea room is within a mile. Our three cottages, The Old Stables, Keepers and Barley Cottage can accommodate 12 guests in total and therefore ideal for family gatherings, walking groups and wedding parties as the wonderful wedding venue, The Tithe Barn at Ditcham is just over a ten minute drive. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Further details

The heated swimming pool is available for those residing at the cottage, and on our booking form, in high summer (mid June to mid-September) from Monday to Saturday inclusive from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. The pool is in a sheltered walled-in garden and has pool loungers for relaxation.

We are sorry but the use of the pool is strictly limited to those residing at the cottages and we regret that friends or relatives of guests staying here are not permitted to use the pool or enclosed pool garden at any time.

Further details indoors

The charming open-plan accommodation is very spacious and equipped to a very high standard. The kitchen has plenty of workspace, adequate cupboard storage and a generous size fridge/freezer. The property is very cosy and fully centrally heated. Each radiator is individually thermostatically controlled. The addition of a woodburner adds a lovely glow and comfort on those chillier evenings. An initial big basket of logs is provided and thereafter further baskets of logs can be requested and paid for, as and when required.

Further details outdoors

The Old Stables has its own very large and private patio with garden furniture and a charcoal barbeque. It is 'mediterranean' in style, with a long border of shrubs and pots and window boxes of colourful geraniums in the summer. A sheltered sun-trap and ideal for al fresco dining! You can walk straight from the door into some lovely countryside. There is a very good local village shop and tea room just a mile up the road (another very pleasant walk!) and our local pub, just a short 75 yard stroll down the road where pub food is served.
