Willow Row Farm The South East

Escape to a country cottage by the sea

If you have your heart set on a pretty cottage in a sleepy English village but you also want a family break at the seaside, then Willow Row Farm is the answer to your prayers. In a village surrounded by the picturesque South Downs National Park and the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this 16^th century farmhouse is a picture-perfect bolthole for family gatherings. Original, hand-hewn beams tell of its history in almost every room, highlighted by the calming neutral tones of the décor. And modern luxuries such as the hot tub and outdoor pool, mean you can relax and enjoy every second of your stay.

Start your days with bacon and eggs, farmhouse style, cooked on the Aga and eaten in the long conservatory. Spill out into the large garden, where you’ll find the oval-shaped swimming pool, hot tub and sociable seating for everyone. After a day at one of the local beaches, exploring the Roman, cathedral city of Chichester, or birdwatching on the salt marshes, return for a barbecue by the pool. Or, on colder evenings, enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the cosy cottage sitting room, warmed by the glow of the wood fire. Serve dinner in the low-beamed dining room, where the pianists in your party will also be delighted to find the baby grand piano.

The five comfortable bedrooms in the main house ooze charm and serenity, with the beams adding character and warmth, while the separate ground floor annexe has an additional bedroom sleeping two, plus a bathroom and kitchen living area. These well-appointed spaces help to make Willow Row Farm a special place for family celebrations and holidays.
